Job costing software for creative and marketing agencies

Efficient management of time works in the interest of the client and the agency: It enables a creative business to utilise its resources correctly and it reassures a client that billable work is properly accounted for.

Logging time within Paprika uses a combination of client, job or task activities on a daily or weekly basis. Regular projects can be set up as Favourites to appear automatically, and switching between actual and planned time is simple.

Missing time is easily reconciled using reports and alerts can be sent warning of time needing to be entered.
