Know which clients and projects really make you money.
An IT or digital agency sells projects, hours and teams, often with in-house staff and freelancers working side by side. hice follows every project from proposal to hours worked: at the end of the week you see how much you made on each client, without cross-checking spreadsheets.

A week at the agency, day by day
From the client's request to the project margin in five working days. Each day adds one piece, and the same data moves from one day to the next without anyone retyping it.
Monday: the proposal is already written
A client asks for a quote for a new website. You describe the job to hice in a couple of lines and it drafts the proposal with phases, timing and price, based on the data you already have. You read it over and send it. Meanwhile the deal goes into the pipeline, your list of open opportunities, with its value.
Tuesday: the client's yes becomes a project
Client Gamma says yes. In one click the opportunity becomes a project with the same phases, the budget and the milestones, meaning the delivery dates you agreed on. Nothing to copy from one document to another.
Wednesday: every task has an owner and a deadline
You split the work into tasks and assign them to the team, in-house and freelance together. Before handing out new work, you can see who's already at full capacity. You can also type in the chat “create a task for Luke: payment testing by Thursday”: hice drafts it, you confirm.
Thursday: hours land on the right project
Everyone logs hours against their own task, from their phone too. Freelancers as well, each with their own cost, so you know what every hour you sell really costs you. hice reminds anyone who forgets, and billable hours are always up to date.
Friday: the margin adds itself up
Hours, costs and price already live in one place, so hice works out each project's margin as it goes. If a phase uses more hours than planned, you see it now, while you can still fix it, not once the project is closed.
By Friday evening you know who makes you money.
Revenue and margin per client, updated with this week's hours. No need to ask anyone for a report.
You know which clients make you money, and which just make you work.
Revenue and margin for each client, across all their projects.
You see when a project runs over, while you can still fix it.
Each phase's hours are checked against the plan, every day.
In-house staff and freelancers in one place, each with their own cost.
No separate spreadsheet for outside contractors.
Proposals start from the data you have, not from a blank page.
Phases, timing and price then carry over unchanged into the project.
This Friday, check your margins in hice.
Start with one project and its team. If everything lives in spreadsheets and different tools today, we import the data for you.
