Managing peaks and troughs in resourcing is a constant battle for agencies. And to do this effectively, you need clear visibility of how much time is available and how time's being used.
“It has given us the opportunity to look three, six, nine months down the line in terms of where we need people, where projects are dropping off and things are starting up. It helps us in every way possible.”
Darryl Kennedy, Director, Spike - a technology agency with offices in London, Manchester and South Africa
Quickly see resource availability and make tentative or confirmed bookings based on budgets.
Bookings can be made via work requests or straight into the calendar. You can see the time estimated vs remaining on a job, so you don’t go over budget.
The ‘loading’ view helps you make sure you’re not overbooking resources. And managing freelancers is easy. Simply add them to the schedule and book away.
Team members can see the job info, files and emails - no more waiting for a brief - and share updates and record time all in one place.

"The studio has benefited greatly. It's removed a lot of admin from them. It's cleaned everything up. Made it slick. No more Post-It notes flying around! No more physical timesheets! No, we wouldn't go back to all that now.”
Sukhi Dehal, Managing Partner and Founder, 383 - a digital agency based in Birmingham
Easily monitor your team's utilisation vs target.
One-click timesheets reduce admin, making it easier for your team to accurately record time - on their browser or mobile app. You can also quickly see when they haven’t been filled out.
The performance dashboard gives you an instant view of chargeable and non-chargeable time by team or individual.
If you do find any utilisation issues, you can drill into the detail of where people are spending time and the cost impact.
