Time & resourcing
Know a project is going over while you can still act
Log time against tasks, compare it to the estimate, and see budget burn per milestone before the overrun becomes a write-off.
Profitability is decided in the middle of a project, not at the end
By the time a project shows up as unprofitable in the accounts, every decision that made it unprofitable has already been taken. The useful moment is earlier: the week the revisions started multiplying, or the point where a two-day task quietly consumed six.
Tracking effort against estimate at task level gives you that moment. Not for surveillance, and not to bill in smaller increments, but because the ratio between estimate and actual is the earliest reliable signal that scope has moved.
It also makes the next quote better. After a few engagements you are estimating from your own history rather than from optimism, which is the single highest-leverage improvement available to most teams doing client work.
Capabilities
What time & resourcing gives you
Timers and manual entry
Track as you work or reconstruct at the end of the day. Entries attach to tasks, so time always has a story behind it.
Estimate versus actual, live
Every task and milestone shows estimated against logged effort, and the project header shows the aggregate. No month-end reconstruction.
Budget burn and thresholds
Set a budget in hours or currency and get alerted at the thresholds you choose, so a conversation happens at seventy per cent rather than a hundred and forty.
Billable and non-billable, separated
Distinguish chargeable work from internal effort and revisions, then export a clean billable summary per period or per milestone.
Where this matters most
- Retainers where you need to show hours consumed against the monthly allowance
- Fixed-price work where margin depends on catching overruns early
- Understanding which kinds of project are actually worth taking
