Status quo

How project control works today

Hours sit in the time tracker, revenue sits in accounting. That a project is running away from you becomes obvious once it's finished.

Today

  • Hours and revenue in separate tools
  • Overruns surface at the end
  • Payment arrives “sometime”
  • A slipped deadline is flying blind

With Foreqast

  • Both per project in one view
  • Remaining hours forecast continuously
  • Payment on the day it lands
  • The slip simulated in advance

How it works

From logged hours to a payment date

Four steps, each powered by a feature.

1

Create a new project

A name, the client, the hourly rate, the deadline and who works on it — that's the whole setup. From then on tracked hours × rate become revenue.

Forecast payouts from the hours worked

Hours × rate make the invoice, and it lands as a single dated inflow in the exact week you get paid — not smeared evenly across the quarter.

FAQ

Project forecasting, answered

Which payment models are supported?

Target payment days after invoicing, or monthly payouts against project progress — both land in the cash flow on the right dates.

Do I see margin per project?

Hourly cost per team member for true project margin is on the roadmap. Today you see hours and revenue per project.

Is time tracked per person?

Time tracking per project member is on the roadmap; today the forecast runs at project level.

What happens when a deadline slips?

You simulate the slip and the revenue and payment dates move through the cash flow with it.

Do I need a CRM?

No. A CRM helps with pipeline, but the forecast itself runs on projects and logged time.
