if.team — Task-driven cost controller for project-focused companies

👋Hello Product Hunt, I am the co-founder of if.team along with Oleh Frolov and Anton Makohonov. We are an IT-outsource team of a company from Ukraine 🇺🇦 which deals with the entire spectrum of web development and has up to 55 employees. At the moment, we have about 15 active projects, around 200 clients from all over the world and 7 years of experience in the IT industry. We, as business owners, have faced a big problem - we cannot control project costs in real time depending on iterations and employee rates, and as a result - we lose a lot of money, since part of the projects are non-profitable ⛔️ 🛠Therefore, we decided to create a service for our company that would solve all these problems. During the development process, we talked a lot with the owners of small and medium-sized companies, which had from 5 to 100 employees, and we came to the opinion that our service can be useful not only to us. Budget overspending is a common problem for many companies. 📍In March 2022, we started the development of if.team - lean service for project management that helps companies avoid overruns. Today, we are finally excited to share our product, which we have built in such a short time with our talented team, with Product Hunt. So, we offer you the following solution: a comprehensive service for convenient and transparent project management, which includes: dashboard for project finances, burn rates, task manager, planning, payment manager, database of clients and much more. ✅Our goal with if.team is simple: help companies avoid overruns and increase revenue. We enable this with features like: ✔️Fast onboarding - only 10 minutes, which is 4 times faster than in other services. ✔️Assignment of roles in the team. Each employee has their own opportunities to use the service, depending on the role assigned by the manager. The ability to review projects, edit and create new ones depends on this. There is even a role for the customer - they will be able to see only the progress of their order. ✔️Time tracking for staff takes only 2 clicks. ✔️Killer-feature: a single project dashboard that includes general information about the project (project name, project start/end date, involved employees), employee rates (fixed price, time to material, hourly payment) and the financial part (main payments, additional payments and the budget burn-down schedule, which is formed on the basis of all the above data). It is this feature that helps to avoid overspending of project budgets - thereby increasing their profitability. ✔️and many more… ❓for whom: small-medium outsource companies working on a project basis. ❓how much: three types of monthly subscription depending on the tariff. BUT, for Product Hunt users, the first month is free. ❓integrations: we integrate if.team with any existing service. 🔜coming soon: virtual AI assistant that will help managers monitor projects and collect feedback from employees. So, if your company also has problems with project budget overruns, you should definitely try our product. We will help you increase the profitability of your company. 🔽For more information, you could book a demo with our CEO: https://calendly.com/frolov-if-t... Finally, the entire if.team is here for you to get your queries resolved. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about the product or integrations in general.

Congratulations on the launch, wishing you the very best with your product! If.team literally help us beyond imagination with our tasks!

The agencies I know are going to love this! It's always been a pain for them to include multiple freelancers and their rates in a project, and link that information with the time tracking element, and even worse, track their budget burn-down schedule (I didn't even know that was a term before today).

looks cool, congrats on the launch, guys! will check it out with my team

Wow, if.team sounds like a game-changer for project-focused companies! As someone who values efficient cost control, I'm intrigued by your task-driven approach. Can you share more about how if.team integrates employee rates and iterations into the flow controller? Also, I'm curious to know how it handles unpredictable expenses. Is there a feature that allows users to input and track these unexpected costs? Have you considered further integrating with any accounting software to streamline the cost management process? It could be a valuable resource for users who want to sync their financial data seamlessly. Overall, it seems like if.team has the potential to save companies a ton of time and effort in managing project costs. Have you had any beta testers try it out yet? I'd love to hear some feedback from users who have already experienced the benefits of your service. Keep up the great work!

This launch is great. By the description i think i am going to give it a try. Bravo to the developers.

Wow! It’s something new on the market. I’ve tried to use this app to manage my team and I’m as a project manager, is so satisfied! Recommend you 👏🏻

Wow! This product has a very nice design and, judging by the screenshots and description, handy functionality. We work with this every day in our project, but for now, we use hybrid accounting systems. If this product really works, then it will be the game changer on the market!

Great job on creating if.team! As someone who works in a project-focused company, I can definitely see the value in a task-driven cost controller. It sounds like your product considers all the necessary factors to simplify project cost management. I have a couple of questions about if.team. Does it integrate with other project management tools like Asana or Trello? It would be great to have all project-related information in one place. Also, I'm curious about the user onboarding process. You mentioned that users can get up and running in just 10 minutes. Could you share more details about how intuitive the interface is and what kind of support is available if someone needs assistance during the setup? Looking forward to hearing more about your product and how it can benefit project-focused companies like ours! Keep up the great work!

I really enjoy using if.team! As a freelancer, I understand the challenges of project management and cost control. Thanks to if.team I have made a significant improvement in my project management. Fast onboarding, role assignments, and a single project management dashboard are game-changers. This helped me avoid going over budget and improve profitability. Plus, the upcoming AI assistant feature sounds incredibly promising! Highly recommended for anyone doing project work.

Congrats on the launch! I am co-founder of a small design agency and I would say overspending is a big problem for us too. I will definitely try it!

Congratulations on the product launch! Does if.team offer any features for generating reports and analyzing project expenses?

Kudos to the team for the launch! Can you explain how if.team ensures the security and privacy of users' financial data?

This is really useful and comfortable time management system. I use it to watch how many time I have already been spent for any task. It helps me to achieve deadlines and better monitor my working performance. I recommend it both for personal usage and teamwork.

Great concept. While many platforms often neglect the financial aspects, if.team addresses the overspending issue head-on. Definitely a game-changer.

I haven’t used it yet, but I am sure it’s so useful product for companies working on project basis. I will follow you.

I've had the pleasure of working with the task-driven cost controller service provided by this company, and I must say it's been a game-changer for our project-focused company. Their innovative approach to cost control, tied directly to task management, has streamlined our financial operations and significantly improved our project management efficiency. The platform is user-friendly and integrates seamlessly into our existing workflow. It has allowed us to keep a closer eye on project costs, identify potential overspending early, and make informed decisions to stay on budget. The real-time tracking and reporting features are particularly valuable, giving us insights that were previously hard to come by. Furthermore, the company's customer support has been outstanding. They've been responsive to our inquiries and have provided valuable guidance in setting up and optimizing the system for our specific needs.

Congrats on the launch! This looks really nice! It is very cool that you will connect the virtual AI assistant. I think all employees will appreciate this tool.

Congratulations on the launch! Using this product is an absolute delight! It impressed me from day one and continues to do so. The product's interface is very user-friendly and intuitive. All features and capabilities are easily accessible and comprehensible.

I'm impressed with the interface design! Are there any plans to develop a mobile app for if.team?
