Fresh Projects for Operations

Plan resources, track time, spot problems early

Group by discipline, office, or team to see who's doing what, who has capacity, and who's on leave. Drag to rebalance work, capture time daily, and catch scope changes.

 
 

The questions every operations manager asks

 
  • Where is our capacity next week, and what needs re-assigning today?

  • Which projects are at risk, and why?

  • Do we need to hire, bring in sub-consultants, or hold back?

  • Are timesheets complete so month-end runs smoothly?

  • How much work is done but waiting to be invoiced?

Resource Planning

See planned time, capacity, and leave across studios in one view. Group by team, discipline or office. Drag people onto projects to balance workload without spreadsheets or endless emails.

Timesheet Management

Web and mobile timesheets with calendar view, quick add, or timer. Receipts for expenses. Manager approvals. Missing or unapproved time gets flagged so month-end stays on track.

Project Controls

How Fresh Projects works for operations teams

 
 
 
  • Team Capacity Planning

    Group by team, discipline, or location. See leave and public holidays. Drag people between projects to fix clashes and balance load in seconds.

  • Simple Time Capture

    Calendar view, timer, or quick add on web and mobile. Upload receipts for expenses. Manager or PM approvals. Automatic flags for missing or incomplete time.

  • Project Templates

    Templates for RIBA stages, groups, and subprojects. Log variations as extra stages so additional work gets recorded and billed, never absorbed into existing scope.

  • Real-Time Progress View

    See fees, income, and costs by project and stage. WIP tracking and cash position show when projects need attention before problems escalate.

  • Pipeline Forecasting

    Forecast workload against pipeline to decide on hiring, holding back, or reassigning work. No need to rebuild spreadsheets every quarter.

  • Custom Reporting

    Use standard dashboards or Live Sheets in Excel. Build your own pivots and charts, or connect BI tools like Power BI via our data warehouse.
