Profitability tracking is here

We built Astravue because staying organized is the difference between an agency that scales and one that quietly bleeds margin. This release is the first real step toward giving you visibility into the number that actually matters: are you making money on this project, right now, not just at invoice time.

Here's what we built to make that happen:

• Project types. Every project can now be set as Fixed Fee, Time & Material, or Retainer, each with fields built around how that engagement actually makes or loses you money.

• Budgeted vs. Actual tracking. See contract value vs. spend on Fixed Fee, hours against your not-to-exceed cap on T&M, or hours against your cycle allowance on Retainer. All calculated automatically from logged time, no manual math required.

• Margin threshold alerts. Set a threshold on any project. Cross it, and you'll know immediately, before it becomes a real problem.

• Stakeholder notifications. Alert the right people the moment margin is at risk, whether they're already on the project or not.

Why it matters

Most PM tools tell you what's overdue. Almost none tell you what's unprofitable until the invoice is already sent and the damage is done. This is step one toward closing that gap.

Coming next

We're already working on rate cards, timesheet approval flows, and deeper retainer overage handling. If there's something you need sooner, tell us. This roadmap is being built with you, not just for you.
