Utilisation and project margin dashboard
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
An architecture practice sees time in one system, invoices in another and project budgets in spreadsheets, and learns a project ran over only when it is finished.
// What we would build
A dashboard that reads time, billing and project budgets into one model, so partners see utilisation by person and team, and budget used against fees earned on every project, week by week.
// What is in it
- Utilisation by person, team and office
- Budget used against fees earned, per project
- Work in progress and unbilled time
- Forecast load for the coming weeks
- Exports for partners and the accountant
// Stack
- Next.js
- PostgreSQL
- dbt
- Time and billing interfaces
- DigitalOcean
