Northstar Studio
Manchester · fictional demo business
“Billable hours that never slip through.”
Clients and their people, projects with budgets, time tracked against them with weekly approval, and invoices built from approved time. Project managers only see the clients they run.
Real screens from the demo, with its made-up people and data.
Staff submit their week. Managers approve it, or send it back with a note saying what to fix.
Set a budget in hours and a rate per project, and see how much is used as time comes in.
Approved time that hasn't been billed yet, by client and project, turned into an invoice in a click.
Pick a project, say how long, add a note. Everyone sees their own week at a glance.
Each person signs in as themselves and sees only what their role allows. These are the roles this business starts with; yours match your team.
Runs the studio: sees everything, approves timesheets, sets rates and budgets, invoices, and decides who is assigned to which client and project.
Runs their own clients and projects: sees only the clients they are assigned to, and within each only the projects they are assigned to, with the time logged on them. Approves the timesheets of people working on their projects. Logs their own time.
Works on projects and logs their own time. Sees clients and projects, but only their own time.
Raises and chases invoices. Sees all time and clients, but changes no projects.
Northstar Studio is made up, but its CRM is real: built from the same starting point we'd use for you, and filled with a realistic set of demo data.
