Productive

Productive is an all-in-one platform for agencies and professional services, combining project management, time tracking, billing and AI forecasting.

Overview

Productive replaces the patchwork of tools agencies use to run projects and businesses. It covers project planning, resource scheduling, time tracking, budgets, invoicing and profitability analysis in one system. AI features forecast project outcomes from historical data, suggest resource allocations and flag budget risks before they bite. Dashboards connect delivery data to financials, so leaders can see which clients, services and teams are actually profitable. An assistant also drafts project plans and status updates from activity inside the platform.

Key Features

• Project management with budgets, tasks and docs combined
• Resource planning and utilization forecasting
• Time tracking tied directly to invoicing and profitability
• AI budget-risk alerts and delivery forecasting
• Financial dashboards by client, service and team
• Accounting and CRM integrations

Pricing

Productive is priced per user per month on tiered plans, with a free trial available. Higher tiers add advanced reporting, forecasting and premium support.

Who Is It For

It is built for agencies and consultancies that need to connect delivery with financial performance, from boutique studios to large firms.

How It Works

Agencies manage projects, resources, time and billing in one system: projects carry budgets, time entries feed invoices and profitability analysis connects delivery to finance. AI forecasts outcomes from historical data, flags budgets at risk and drafts status updates from platform activity. Dashboards break profitability down by client, service and team.

In Practice

The platform is only as good as time data, so make logging frictionless and habitual before trusting the reports. Use budget-risk alerts early in engagements to scope creep conversations while they are still easy. Agency leaders should review profitability monthly; the surprises it surfaces — unprofitable services, underpriced retainers — are usually worth more than the subscription.

FAQ

Is Productive free to use?

Productive is a paid platform with a free trial; plans scale with the features and support your agency needs.

How does Productive compare to alternatives?

Unlike pure project tools, Productive unifies delivery and finances, answering the profitability questions agencies otherwise solve in spreadsheets.

Can Productive handle retainers and budgets?

Yes, projects carry budgets, retainer balances and billing schedules that update as time is logged, so financial visibility is continuous rather than monthly. Budget-risk alerts surface scope creep early, and profitability reports connect delivery decisions directly to margin outcomes.
