Add transparency to your retainer projects
Stay on top of how and where you spend costs from retainer fees. Get the full picture of all your retained periods, so you can analyze and compare the financial performance on locked periods and plan rationally in the future.
Focus your time and resources on long-term goals. Divide retained periods into milestones and tasks. Predict delivery dates, assign roles and people, and benefit from the AI helping you estimate the tasks.
Keep tabs on the quality and quantity of services you provide to the client. Get visibility into how much work has been completed for each retainer period to ensure nothing goes off at half-clock and you don’t over- or under-service the client.
Automatically invoice work in progress on a retainer based on the time entries. With time-tracking in place and real-time dashboards tied to each period, you have a detailed and transparent view of the workflow.
