Challenge
The client’s team was investing the bulk of their man-hours into low-revenue projects (Project A) while high-revenue projects (Project B) were getting neglected. The owner had zero visibility into where the team’s time was going, causing profit leaks and resource misallocation.
Approach
We designed and developed a custom project management tool centered around man-hour tracking and allocation. Instead of generic task management, our solution built a profit-first dashboard that showed exactly how time was being spent, stage by stage, project by project, discipline by discipline.
Results
Workflows became smooth, transparent, and data-driven.
The owner gained instant visibility into project health, man-hour burn rates, and team utilisation.
At least 10–15 peers from the same industry visited to see the system in action, sparking a sense of FOMO.
Multiple businesses contacted Shizzy to build similar tools.
The client shifted from “where did the time go?” to “this is where time earns us profit.”
