The hours your team recorded and the invoice you send are the same data.

In a services business the product is time, and time is the thing most systems track worst. Hours live in one tool, the project plan in another, and the invoice is assembled by someone reading both.

Chikito keeps the project, the time booked against it and the invoice raised from it on one record — so what you bill is what your team recorded, and unbilled work is a number you can see rather than a suspicion.

Services

What gets in the way

Work delivered but never billed

Revenue leaks quietly when the link between a completed task and a billable line is a person remembering. Here that link is the record itself.

Retainers that drift

Recurring billing and the work actually consumed under a retainer belong on the same record, so overservicing is visible while you can still act on it.

Profitability per project, not per quarter

With cost, time and billing in one place, project margin is available while the project is live.

One record, end to end

How the work moves

The same record travels the whole way. No export step, no re-keying between stages.

  1. 01

    Deal won

    The opportunity becomes a project on the same client record.

  2. 02

    Work booked

    Tasks and timesheets record what was actually done, by whom.

  3. 03

    Invoice

    Billable work becomes invoice lines — including recurring retainers.

  4. 04

    Ledger

    Revenue and receivables post without a re-keying step.

Questions

Professional services, specifically

Does it handle recurring and milestone billing?

Yes — retainers bill on a schedule, and milestone work bills as milestones complete, both against the same project record.

Can staff enter their own time?

Yes. Self-service is part of the HRM module, so timesheets and leave are entered by the people they belong to.
