Software and IT companies

You sell hours. Do you know how many were actually worked?

IT companies live on recurring contracts, tickets and projects — three things that usually sit in three different tools, none of them talking to the others. At month-end, the invoice comes from an estimate.

One support contract · closed monthexample
Monthly contract20 hours contracted$3,500.00

Client meetingsnot in scope4h15
"Quick" tweaksrequested on WhatsApp, no ticket5h30
Reworkdelivery sent back2h50
Hours actually used31h15
Over contract+ 11h15

Illustrative figures, to explain the reasoning. The calculation is real: it comes from hours actually tracked, per client and per activity type. Half the overage usually sits in work that never became a ticket.

We're a software company founded in 1993, with support, projects and recurring contracts. ScWork was built for our own operation — and it still runs on it today. It's not shelfware.

Your day

A month in a contract-and-ticket business

If more than one of these happens to you, it's worth a conversation.

Every morning

The manager's first hour disappears

Deciding who does what, based on whoever shouted loudest yesterday.

Every month

The invoice comes from an estimate

Because nobody knows how many hours the contract really used.

Always

Tickets get typed twice

It arrives on WhatsApp, someone copies it into the task tool, and the client asks again.

Silently

The client stops opening tickets

You find out at cancellation, not before.

When a technician leaves

What they knew leaves too

The fix for the hard case was in their head.

Where each piece fits

Three systems — and you don't need all three

Each one solves one part. Together, nobody has to type the same thing twice. Below is what each one does for you.

ScWork

The operations hub

Tasks with a timer that follows real activity — not what people report. The daily schedule is built from rules you wrote, and every item comes with the reasoning behind it. Client tickets become tasks without retyping, and logged time becomes project cost and the basis for the invoice.

  • Time map in 5-minute blocks — including overlapping tasks
  • Churn radar: clients without contact for too long
  • CRM with priced proposals and e-signature, no add-on

Support that arrives on WhatsApp

A queue per department, load-based assignment, and conversations that become tickets with an automatic summary. Service time feeds into hour tracking. And the bot handles repetitive requests on its own, from its own knowledge base.

  • The conversation becomes a ticket, not a pasted screenshot
  • Ranking and average handling time per agent
  • Voice transcription on your server, no third-party service

Finances for recurring revenue

Subscription contracts with index-based adjustments, billing by bank slip (boleto) and PIX (Brazil's instant payment), accounts payable and cash flow. If you also resell products, Inventory and Invoicing come in.

  • Subscription adjustments without spreadsheets
  • Overdue accounts cross-checked with support
  • Service invoices in the same system

Where to start: With ScWork, and usually with a single module: tasks and time. One month of time tracking already shows whether your invoices are right.

Where it fits

ScWork is not a development tool

If you already use Git, CI and a sprint board, none of that changes.

Stays where it is

The technical work

Repository, pull requests, pipeline, sprint board, monitoring. We don't ask you to replace the tools your dev team already knows.

Now lives in ScWork

The work that becomes an invoice

Who handled it, for how long, for which client, under which contract — and how much of that contract was used before the month closes.

Before you ask

The questions that always come up

I already use Jira/Trello. Do I need to switch?

For the dev board, no. ScWork covers the layer those tools don't: hours measured per client, tickets, cost and billing. There's an integration with Redmine, and the public API makes others possible.

Is this a system for monitoring my staff?

It's for measurement. The number exists so you can price contracts and negotiate deadlines, not to pressure the people doing the work. We recommend the team knows from day one what is recorded — the system is transparent with whoever is being timed.

We're a team of six. Is it too big for us?

It's designed for teams of 5 to 60 people, and the modules are separate. Many companies start with tasks and time only, which is where the numbers show up.

Do you compete with me?

If you build custom software, no — we sell our own products. And if it makes sense, there's a sales representative path: you resell ours and earn recurring revenue. See Partners.

Thirty minutes to look at your operation

No sales script. You tell us how things work today, and we tell you honestly what we solve and what we don't — and where it would make sense to start.
