Key benefits include:
 

1. Accurate, Real-Time Billing

• Captures billable time as it happens with a live session clock, eliminating lost hours and manual timesheet reconstruction.

• Rounds time to the nearest quarter hour, ensuring every session is fully accounted for.

2. Detailed and Flexible Cost Tracking

• Models productions with up to ten milestones and 82 tasks but adapts to any project size, use as much or as little detail as needed.

• Eighteen cost centers (room, gear, engineering, talent, etc.) allow for granular pricing and payout calculations.

3. Transparent, Defensible Pricing

• Separates and prices four types of value (room, gear, engineering, talent) so clients see exactly what they are paying for.

• Dual rate cards (standard and premium) and per-client discounting make pricing flexible and transparent.

4. Proactive Overrun Management

• Tracks estimated vs. actual hours and costs per task and milestone in real time, making scope drift visible before invoicing.

• Turns potential billing disputes into informed conversations, not arguments.

5. Automated Settlement and Payouts

• Calculates house share, partner share, facilities overhead, and talent payouts per cost center, reducing negotiation and errors.

• Talent earnings are broken out by milestone for clear, timely settlement.

6. Comprehensive Dashboard and Reporting

• Provides a ten-second overview of revenue, expenses, and profit by cost center group.

• Milestone and talent-by-milestone breakouts help analyze profitability and inform future bookings.

7. Minimal Administrative Burden

• Requires only three button presses per session (start, pause, close), with the rest handled automatically.

• Delivered as a single Excel workbook—no logins, subscriptions, or vendor lock-in.

8. Improved Client and Team Communication

• Produces itemized, milestone-based records so clients know exactly what they bought and why it cost that amount.

• Ensures all concessions and goodwill are tracked and visible, quantifying their impact on profitability.
