Which agencies fit Agency Cloud best?
Agencies of 2 to 15 people that bill per project or monthly retainer rather than by the hour, and that want sales, billing and HR in one place without paying for each seat.
When Productive.io is the better choice
- You bill by the hour and need timesheets and utilisation reports.
- You plan capacity across many projects and people.
Questions
Does Agency Cloud track time?
No. It tracks attendance (check-in and check-out), not time per task or project.
