Use Case — IT Companies

Your developers are billing less than they’re delivering.

IT companies lose thousands in unbilled hours every month — hours spent on bugs, scope changes, support, and internal meetings that never make it to the invoice. FlowQi connects every hour your team works to the right project, the right client, and the right invoice line.

  • Sprint planning
  • Developer time tracking
  • Client project billing
  • Support retainers
  • Capacity planning
Designer brief IT company environment: 4–6 developers in a modern tech office with dual monitors showing code editors and project dashboards. One screen shows a FlowQi project view with sprint tasks, hour tracking per ticket, and a budget progress bar. Purple brand accents. Feel: focused, technical, professional — real dev team, not stock photography.

Sound familiar?

Hours go in. Revenue doesn't come out.

We finished a project 3 weeks late and 40 hours over budget. Nobody saw it coming because nobody was tracking against the scope.
Our developers work 8 hours a day. We bill an average of 5.2. The other 2.8 hours go on Slack, internal fixes, and things nobody logged.
A client asked why the invoice was higher than expected. I couldn't explain it because our time entries were too vague to tell a clear story.
We run a support retainer for three clients. I have no idea whether any of them are profitable because I can't see hours per client per month.
Sprint planning takes two hours every Monday because nobody knows who has actual capacity. Everyone just guesses.

IT companies don't fail on technical skill. They fail because the work is invisible — hours not logged, scope not tracked, invoices sent on gut feel.

What FlowQi gives you

Built for IT teams that bill for what they build.

One platform for your projects, your developers, and your clients — from first sprint to final invoice.

Designer brief FlowQi project view for an IT company. Show a sprint board with tasks grouped by status (Backlog, In Progress, In Review, Done). Each task card shows: developer avatar, estimated hours (e.g. '8h'), logged hours (e.g. '6h logged'), and a small progress indicator. A budget bar at the top of the sprint shows '68h / 80h — 85%' with an amber warning color. One task has a 'Scope change' tag in orange. Dark header, clean card design. 16:9 crop, screenshot style.
Your projects — sprints, tickets, hours connected

Every project has tasks, sprints, and a budget. Developers log hours directly on tickets. You always see planned vs actual — per ticket, per sprint, per client. Scope changes are visible before they blow the budget.

Designer brief FlowQi developer timesheet view. Show a team timesheet dashboard with 4–5 developers (rows). Each row shows: developer name and role (e.g. 'Tom — Backend Dev', 'Lisa — Frontend'), active projects this week with hours per project (color-coded blocks), total hours logged (e.g. '32h / 40h'), and billable vs non-billable split (e.g. '28h billable, 4h internal'). One developer shown in amber warning (e.g. '38/40h — nearly full'). Below: a weekly calendar grid showing time entries per day with task descriptions (e.g. 'API integration — 3h', 'Bug fix #204 — 1.5h'). Purple accent colors, clean grid lines. 16:9 crop, screenshot style.
Your timesheets — every dev hour planned and tracked

Set a planned hour budget per project and per developer. See in real time how many hours are logged vs planned — per person, per project, per week. Know whether your team is on track before the sprint ends, not after the invoice goes out.

Designer brief FlowQi invoice creation view for an IT sprint. Show an invoice being generated from sprint time entries. Left: list of entries grouped by developer (e.g. 'Tom — Backend — 24h @ €95/h = €2.280', 'Lisa — Frontend — 18h @ €85/h = €1.530'). Right: invoice preview with per-developer line items, subtotals, and total (e.g. €6.240). A 'Create invoice' button highlighted in purple. A note at the bottom: 'Based on Sprint 4 — March 3–14'. 16:9 crop, screenshot style.
Your invoices — billable hours flow directly to the client

When the sprint is done, FlowQi generates invoice-ready line items from every billable time entry — per developer, per task, per rate. Clients get a full breakdown of what was built and how long it took. No more invoice disputes.

How it works

Plan the sprint. Track the hours. Invoice what was built.

01

Set hours and rates per project and developer

Every project gets a planned hour budget. Every developer gets a role and hourly rate. 120h across three developers, each at their own rate. Set it once — FlowQi tracks the rest.

02

Log hours per ticket — planned vs actual always visible

Developers log time directly on tasks. Open any sprint and instantly see: 68 of 80 hours used, €6.460 of €7.600 consumed, 12 hours remaining. No spreadsheet. No end-of-sprint surprise.

03

Invoice per sprint — every billable hour accounted for

FlowQi turns every logged billable entry into an invoice line: developer, task, hours, rate, total. Fully itemized per person. Clients see exactly what was built and by whom.

15–20% more billable hours captured
< 10 min to generate a sprint invoice
< 1 week average time to go live
Results

IT companies that changed how they bill

[IT Company A]

12 developers · Custom software agency

Placeholder

Tracking time in Jira, invoicing manually in Excel. Hours were consistently underreported because developers logged at end of week from memory. Invoice disputes were common.

  • Average billable hours per developer increased by 18%
  • Invoice disputes dropped to near zero after switching to itemized billing
  • Sprint invoicing time cut from 4 hours to 15 minutes

We were billing around 65% of hours worked. After FlowQi, we're at 83%. Same team, same hours — we just stopped losing them.

[Name], CTO · [IT Company A]

[IT Company B]

5 developers · IT managed services & support

Placeholder

Running 8 support retainers without visibility into hours per client. Discovered three retainer clients were consistently over-consuming with no additional billing.

  • Identified 3 underpriced retainers in the first month
  • Retainer profitability visible in real time per client
  • Renegotiated two contracts based on actual hour data

I didn't know two of my biggest retainer clients were actually losing me money. Now I see it every week and I can have the right conversation.

Why FlowQi

You're probably already using something. Here's the difference.

Most IT companies track time in one tool and invoice in another — with a manual step in between that loses hours and context.
