The cost of juggling too many tools

In the last years, Zaid Technology juggled multiple tools for task management, invoicing, and project tracking. They tried ClickUp, Trello, Google Docs, Zoho Invoicing and more.

But this fragmented approach increased costs and complicated their workflows. The team needed a seamless way to manage tasks, track time, and handle financial operations without switching between different platforms.

I got an invoice where we spent three times the amount of hours planned for that project. I had no clue how. 

I thought: ‘This should never happen again.

Switching to Bonsai's all-in-one platform

After a few months of going over budget on projects without understanding why, Franklin decided it was time for a change. 

Bonsai has been a game changer. We use it for projects, contracts, subscription invoices, proposals. Now we see where hours are going and how projects are headed.

With Bonsai, Zaid Technology can manage tasks, track project time, handle invoicing, and manage contracts and proposals all in one place. Now, their operations are streamlined: Franklin has full visibility on project progress and budgets without the administrative overhead.

Streamlined time tracking management

With Bonsai’s advanced time-tracking, the Zaid Technology team monitors all their hours spent on each project and task.

Time is everything for our agency, especially since we bill hourly. And with Bonsai I can get into the nitty gritty details per task, per project, per team member, per clients.

This visibility is crucial for ensuring profitability, especially with their hourly pricing models. The detailed dashboard provides insights into project progress and helps prevent budget overruns.

Time estimates help them better plan and allocate resources across projects. Developers can track their time against these estimates, and communicate any discrepancies directly within the platform.
