Time + margin

Every hour tracked. Every dollar accounted for.

Log time against any ticket or project. Every entry shows real-time revenue, cost, and profit. Approved hours flow directly to invoices — no spreadsheet in between.

Who it's for

  • MSPs billing hourly or against retainer caps
  • IT consultancies tracking utilization
  • Service teams measuring profit per project
  • Internal IT teams tracking work for chargeback

The problem it solves

If your time tracking is friction-heavy, your time data is fiction. End-of-week reconstruction loses hours. Time logged in one tool doesn't make it to billing. Non-billable time is invisible, so utilization looks fake.

How it works

The flow, end to end

1

Timer on every ticket

Start, pause, stop. Hours land on the ticket and the correct agreement automatically.

2

Per-entry P&L

Each entry shows revenue, loaded cost, and net profit so margin is visible as work happens.

3

Approval workflow

Managers approve time before it hits invoices. Disputed entries flagged inline.

4

Direct invoice push

Approved billable time flows to the next invoice without anyone re-keying anything.
