Before we launched Tick in 2006, we did custom web work and learned a painful lesson; time is a perishable commodity. Every hour of the work day is inventory that we cannot get back once it has passed. Some of our projects were wildly successful, while others were way over budget. The problem was that we rarely knew which way the project was tracking until it was nearly complete. That’s why we built Tick. Tick is built from the ground up to help you track and hit your budgets. You budget your time between your different projects and their tasks to ensure that they are all profitable. Then all of your budgets are updated whenever time is added to the project. Tick empowers your team by providing consistent feedback on where you are in hitting your budgets.
