Teamwork
Project management for client work
Overview
Teamwork creates software designed to help agencies and service businesses manage their client work, scale operations, and improve profitability. Unlike general-purpose tools, it emphasizes features that matter most to client-facing teams: tracking billable hours, managing client permissions, and ensuring projects are delivered on budget.
Key Features
Client Collaboration
Teamwork allows agencies to invite clients into projects (at no extra cost) with specific permission levels. Clients can view progress, approve deliverables, and add comments without seeing sensitive internal data or budgets.
Time Tracking & Billing
The platform includes native time tracking, allowing users to log time against specific tasks and projects. This data feeds directly into billing reports, making it easier to invoice clients accurately for billable hours.
Profitability Tracking
By tracking time and expenses against set budgets, Teamwork provides real-time insights into project profitability. Managers can spot when a project is running over budget before it becomes a financial loss.
Workload Management
Visual resource planning tools help managers see who is overbooked and who has capacity. This ensures work is distributed evenly and deadlines are realistic.
