Why Projectworks for Software Services Firms?

How we help

Projectworks bridges the gap between your delivery tools and your financials. Your developers track time against tickets and sprints. Projectworks turns that into sprint-level profitability, accurate invoices, and resource forecasting. Manage T&M, fixed-price, and retainer billing models across your entire client portfolio from one system, synced directly to Xero or QuickBooks.

Our experience

What Projectworks Does

Real-time Project Intelligence for Software Services Firms

Projectworks connects time tracking, resource planning, invoicing, and reporting in one live system. Your software firm runs on real project data, connected to the delivery tools your developers already use.

Time Tracking

Track developer hours without leaving your delivery tools.

Projectworks connects to delivery tools like Jira and Azure DevOps so time tracked against tickets and sprints flows directly into profitability reporting and invoicing. No double entry, no end-of-sprint scrambles. Track hours across T&M, fixed-price, and retainer billing models and see budget burn on fixed-price projects in real time.

"Two weeks after switching across to Projectworks timesheets we already had 90% adoption - almost instantly people could see it was saving them time." - Eugene Brink, Chief Delivery Officer, bdna

Resource Planning

Know who's available before you commit to a project.

See real developer capacity across concurrent projects and retainers. Match people to projects by skill set (e.g. languages, frameworks, certifications) and spot fragmentation before it damages delivery. Forecast for upcoming project starts and retainer renewals, and manage contractors alongside full-time staff in the same plan.

"The product allows our consultants, whether W2 or 1099, to log time and resource their time seamlessly." - Greg Gillespie, Principal, Collectiv

Invoicing & Financials

Turn tracked development hours into accurate invoices.

Handle T&M, fixed-price, and retainer billing in one system. Invoicing pulls directly from tracked time and expenses, syncs to Xero or QuickBooks automatically, and supports sprint-level billing, retainer usage tracking, and client-facing time reports out of the box.

"With Projectworks, I can easily manage my budgets, forecasts, and resources, and invoicing takes me less than five minutes…It's streamlined, straightforward, and built for people who just want to get things done." - Michelle, Principal Delivery Lead

Project Profitability

See profitability by sprint, project, and client.

See sprint-level and project-level profitability, burn rate on fixed-price projects, and retainer utilization. Revenue mix reporting shows the health of your T&M, fixed-price, and retainer streams. Custom dashboards serve delivery leads, account managers, and finance with the views they each need.

"Projectworks really has changed the behaviour of our project managers. They're more accountable now for their projects. They have more visibility and ownership, and can know at any moment how resources and budgets are being managed." - Karyn Smith, Chief Operating Officer, bdna

What we do differently

How Projectworks Helps Software Services Firms Take Control of Project Delivery

Most software firms are stitching together Jira, a time tracker, a resourcing spreadsheet, and an accounting tool. The data never matches, the reconciliation never ends, and profitability is always a month-end surprise.

How most software services firms operate today
  • Delivery tracked in Jira, financials tracked in disconnected spreadsheets
  • Project profitability unknown until after the project closes
  • Developers split across too many projects with no visibility into fragmentation
  • T&M, fixed-price, and retainer billing managed in separate workflows
  • Retainer clients silently over-serviced with no usage tracking
  • Month-end close requires days of manual reconciliation across systems
How software firms operate with Projectworks
How Most Firms Operate vs How They Operate with Projectworks:
  • Connect time tracking, invoicing, and profitability to Jira and Azure
  • Sprint-level and project-level profitability visible in real time
  • Developer capacity and fragmentation visible across all concurrent projects
  • T&M, fixed-price, and retainer billing handled in one connected system
  • Retainer usage tracked and reconciled automatically
  • Month-end close runs in hours with automated accounting sync
