Problem
Agencies often rely on generic project and time‑tracking tools that lack real‑time capacity visibility, leading to missed deadlines, overloaded staff, and reduced billability.
Solution
awork provides an agency‑focused platform that combines multi‑project planning, execution, time tracking, and external collaboration in a single SaaS solution. Real‑time utilization data is derived from calendar sync, absence management, and regional holidays, allowing teams to schedule only truly available capacity. AI‑driven re‑planning automatically balances workloads and redistributes bookings with a single click. Integrated task boards, Kanban views, and drag‑and‑drop scheduling let users react instantly to plan changes and urgent requests. The platform also includes awork Connect, enabling secure, permission‑based sharing of projects with clients, partners, and freelancers at no extra cost. All data is stored on ISO 27001‑certified European servers and complies with GDPR, ensuring enterprise‑grade security.
