We use Rize to know: 'We spent 30 hours on this client and got this result.' That's powerful when you're working lean and launching quickly.

From tracked time to staffing decisions

Rize gives you the utilization intelligence that resource planning tools assume you already have.

01

Real-Time Utilization Tracking

See each team member's hours, billable percentage, and top clients as they work. No waiting for end-of-week submissions or timesheet chasing.

02

Budget Burn Visibility

Track actual hours against retainer budgets and project estimates. Know when a project is trending over budget while there's still time to adjust scope or staffing.

03

Workload Distribution

Identify who has slack and who's at capacity across your team. Make staffing decisions based on actual work patterns, not calendar availability.

04

Automated Executive Reports

Get AI-generated team summaries delivered daily or weekly. Utilization breakdowns, profitability trends, and capacity alerts without manual data gathering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rize automatically tracks how each team member spends their time across clients, projects, and work types. That gives you real utilization data to identify who has capacity, who's overloaded, and how to staff upcoming projects based on actual work patterns, not estimates.

Yes. The team dashboard shows each member's tracked hours, billable ratio, and time allocation by client and project. You can spot capacity gaps and overallocation at a glance.

Manual timesheets miss 15-30% of actual work time because they rely on memory. Rize captures every active minute automatically, giving you a complete picture of how time is spent. That accuracy difference directly affects the reliability of your capacity forecasts.

No. Rize runs silently in the background. Your team installs the desktop app and works normally. There are no timers to start, no forms to fill out, and no workflow changes. The data collection is fully automatic.

Rize tracks time against retainer budgets and project estimates, so you can see burn rates and project actual vs. planned hours. Combined with utilization trends, this gives you the data to forecast how much capacity your team has for new work.

Resource management tools show you the plan. Rize shows you reality. Most planning tools require manual time entry to close the loop between scheduled and actual. Rize feeds actual time data back automatically, so your capacity plan stays grounded in what's really happening.
