Primetric : Best for IT service companies & digital agencies

Primetric is a resource scheduling software for small and medium-sized IT service companies and digital agencies. It replaces massive spreadsheets and smatterings of disconnected tools with a multifaceted solution that encompasses resource management, project management, finance management, business intelligence, and even timesheets & time tracking.

Primetric considers the tentative project pipeline and soft allocations to forecast your profitability and people workload. The planning module is connected with time tracking and budgeting modules, so you can compare your plans to reality and then optimize them. What’s more, to give you real information about your resources’ availability, it takes into account public holidays for different countries, time offs, and contract terms.

Primetric’s intelligent resource assistant helps you find the most suitable resources for planned or ongoing projects based on hard or soft skills, cost rate, experience, and availability. If you don’t have the needed resources, you can report the vacancy and see what people you will need to hire in the upcoming months. You can take stock of your current staff using the CV generator and skills matrix, which will show you where knowledge gaps exist.

The platform comes with extensive roles and permissions capabilities, allowing every company within your network to create different organizational structures with different data access (financial, HR, sales, and so on). You can manage multiple corporate locations with one Primetric account and create custom dashboards and reports for different departments or teams.

Primetric integrates with BambooHR, Redmine, ClickUp, Tempo Timesheets, Calamari, JIRA, Teamwork, Hubstaff, Harvest, and Clockify. You can also leverage their open API to connect more tools.

Primetric costs from $171/month + $17.10/user. Add an additional $6.30/virtual seat for each employee being managed through the platform without administrative access to the software itself.
