For approvers

## Spend your review time where it matters.

Checks mark the weeks that look normal, so you can approve them quickly and slow down only for the ones that need a look.

- **A queue, not an inbox**Approve and next, with J and K
- **Clear flags**Long days and overdue weeks stand out
- **Send it back with a reason**The employee fixes it and resubmits
- **Covered while you are away**Delegates keep approvals moving

**Approvals**5 weeks to review

For project managers

## Know where the budget stands before the invoice.

Approved hours are priced at each role's rate as soon as they are signed off, so overruns show up mid-project instead of at month end.

- **Budget used, live**Updated as weeks are approved
- **Milestones and deliverables**Each with its own budget
- **The whole portfolio**Time elapsed against budget used
- **Repeat work, faster**Start from a project template

**Portfolio**Time elapsed vs budget used
