How it works
Every stage of the business, before and after, and what runs by itself.
1.Sale: pipeline and SOW
- Before
- Deals and SOWs in email threads
- With Finocket

Automated

- Contractor and SaaS bills in inboxes
- With Finocket

4.Delivery and time
- Before
- Hours exported from a project tool
- With Finocket
- Time tracked against client and project with the timer
Automated
- Unbilled billable hours become invoice lines at the rate card
