Where does my team log time?

From the dashboard timer, or on the task itself. The entry stays tied to the task, the project, and the client, and you can mark it billable or not. The phone apps are for logging time away from the desk.

Can I bill hours we have already tracked?

Yes. Pick the client and the dates, and Zentract drafts an invoice from billable hours that have rates. You can edit the draft before you send it. You can also write an invoice by hand when the bill is not coming from tracked time.

What is the difference between a proposal, a quote, and an invoice?

A proposal is the work you are offering: scope, timeline, team, and budget. A quote is the price you send. An invoice is the bill, from an accepted quote or from hours already logged.

Who on the team sees invoices and Financials?

Everyone can track time on their work. Admins and managers also see proposals, quotes, reports, invoices, and Financials.

What does Financials show?

For the month: what you invoiced, what you collected, what clients still owe, and billable hours. Each active retainer shows hours used against the hours included.

What is the Agency Health Report?

After there is enough history, Zentract writes a report and notifies you. It covers money at risk, a forecast for the month, how much of the team's time was billable, projects heading over budget, and retainers near their included hours. It does not send invoices.

Run client work
from the proposal to the paid invoice.

Keep clients, projects, and tasks in one place. Your team logs time on the work. You send proposals and quotes, turn billable hours into invoices, and see what is still unpaid, over budget, or running out of retainer hours.

Set up the client and the project.

Add a budget. If you bill on retainer, set the included hours.

Track time on the task.

Open the task, start the timer, stop when the work stops. The entry stays on that client and project, billable or not.

Send the proposal, the quote, or the invoice.
