Work management

Plan, assign, and move client work without losing the details.

Tideflow gives teams the core project management surface they expect, with client, workspace, budget, and time context built in from the start.

Tasks, boards, and lists

Run delivery from task lists, Kanban boards, and routed task detail pages.

Teams can see what is due, blocked, assigned, overdue, and ready to move without stitching together separate tools.

  • Kanban board and sortable list views
  • Task references, priorities, due dates, notes, and attachments
  • Full-page task detail with history and financial context

Task limits can be enforced by plan.

Workspaces and private access

Group projects, tasks, and files into focused workspaces.

Agencies can separate service lines, departments, or sensitive client work while keeping account-level clients, billing, and team management unified.

  • Workspace-scoped project, task, and file routes
  • Private workspace membership controls
  • Workspace-level rate cascade support

Workspace limits can be enforced by plan.

Statuses, checklists, sub-tasks, and dependencies

Break work into smaller steps and show what is blocking progress.

Project managers get clearer delivery signals than a flat task list can provide.

  • Custom task statuses with closed-state completion
  • Task checklists and one-level sub-tasks
  • Blocked-by and blocking dependency relationships

Task templates and recurring tasks

Standardise repeatable work and generate recurring tasks automatically.

Monthly reports, retainers, support routines, and onboarding checklists stay consistent without manual recreation.

  • Save tasks as reusable templates
  • Apply templates when creating new tasks
  • Daily recurring-task generation command

Global search and keyboard shortcuts

Find tasks, projects, clients, invoices, and time-entry notes from one place.

Power users can move quickly across busy accounts without hunting through navigation.

  • Cmd/Ctrl+K search modal
  • Search across core account records
  • Shortcuts for new tasks and timers

Time and profitability

Turn every logged hour into revenue, cost, and margin insight.

Tideflow connects time tracking to billing rates, cost rates, budgets, expenses, reports, and invoice-ready work.

Ready to see it in context?

Start with tasks and time, then add rates, files, invoices, permissions, and reports as the workflow grows.

Built-in time tracking

Track time from the task your team is already working on.

No separate timer subscription, no sync gap, and no mystery about which work the time belongs to.

  • One active timer per user
  • Manual time entries with notes and billable flags
  • Timer controls on task lists, boards, and task detail

Rates and live profitability

Resolve cost and billing rates through Tideflow’s account, client, user, workspace, project, and task cascade.

Owners can see whether work is profitable while the project is still active, not after the month-end spreadsheet.

  • Cost rates vs billing rates
  • Hourly, fixed, and block-rate support
  • Task, project, client, and dashboard margin calculations

Advanced profitability visibility can be plan-gated.

Project budgets and warning signals

Set monetary or hourly budgets and show budget burn in project workflows.

Teams can catch scope creep and overrun risk before the project is already underwater.

  • Monetary and hours budgets
  • 80% and 100% budget alerts
  • Budget burn on project, workspace, dashboard, and reports surfaces

Expense tracking

Track project and client costs outside labour time.

Margin becomes more realistic when software, contractors, ad spend, materials, and other costs are included.

  • Project and client expense records
  • Billable and non-billable expense handling
  • Expenses included in profitability and reports

Financial reports and CSV exports

Review time, revenue, cost, margin, billability, budgets, clients, projects, and team utilisation.

Operations and finance teams can move from gut feel to evidence without leaving the project system.

  • Report dashboard with filters
  • Client, project, and member breakdowns
  • CSV export for deeper analysis

Financial report access is controlled by permissions and plan features.

Clients and invoicing

Connect client delivery to billing and invoice review.

Client work, contacts, invoice settings, scheduled invoice generation, PDFs, and payment status live alongside the tasks and time that created them.

Clients, contacts, and client health

Group projects, tasks, time, invoices, rates, contacts, and expenses around each client.

Account managers can see active projects, overdue work, uninvoiced value, margin health, contacts, and open invoices in one place.

  • Client contacts and invoice recipients
  • Direct client tasks and project-linked work
  • Client-level financial and delivery overview

Invoice generation and scheduling

Generate invoices from uninvoiced billable time and expenses.

More billable work makes it onto invoices, and review-first or auto-send workflows reduce end-of-month admin.

  • Draft, scheduled, sent, paid, and void invoice states
  • Review-first and auto-send client settings
  • Scheduled generation and sending commands

Invoice PDFs, email delivery, and client links

Create branded invoice PDFs and preserve sent snapshots.

The document a client receives is stable, downloadable, and consistent with the account’s invoice settings.

  • Downloadable PDF invoices
  • Email delivery with PDF attachment
  • Signed public invoice download links

Forms for intake and requests

Collect client or internal requests through public or private forms.

New work can arrive in a structured format and become a task automatically or after review.

  • Public and private forms
  • Review or auto-create submission modes
  • Field mapping into task titles and descriptions

Files and collaboration

Keep project context, files, updates, and decisions with the work.

Tideflow supports project files, task attachments, public share links, activity logs, notifications, mentions, and support conversations.

Ready to see it in context?

Start with tasks and time, then add rates, files, invoices, permissions, and reports as the workflow grows.

Files, folders, attachments, and share links

Manage account and project files with folder organisation and secure downloads.

Teams can keep working files close to the project and share specific files without making storage public.

  • Chunked file uploads and folder management
  • Task attachment aggregation on projects
  • Revocable share links with expiry and download counts

Storage quota and share links can be plan-gated.

Activity, email notifications, and in-app notifications

Track what changed and notify the right people.

Teams can follow assignments, status changes, mentions, invoices, budgets, files, and support activity without checking every screen manually.

  • Task activity log
  • Email notifications for key workflow events
  • In-app notification centre

@mentions in task notes

Mention teammates directly inside task discussions.

Questions and decisions stay attached to the task instead of disappearing into chat.

  • Scoped mention search
  • Mention notifications
  • No duplicate notifications to the note author

Help centre and support tickets

Give users self-service help and a direct route to support.

Customers can learn the product from inside the app, while support teams can prioritise and manage tickets separately.

  • In-app help articles
  • User support ticket workflow
  • Dedicated support-agent panel with metrics and assignment

Priority support can be plan-gated.

Team, security, and billing

Control who can see, change, export, bill, and administer the account.

Role-based permissions, private workspace assignment, two-factor enforcement, trials, billing, plan limits, and account administration are built into the platform.

Team invitations and custom roles

Invite people into an account with the right role and private workspace access.

Owners can keep sensitive financial, billing, deletion, export, and admin capabilities away from people who do not need them.

  • Owner, admin, member, and custom roles
  • Read, write, delete, manage, send, share, and export permissions
  • Role builder with grouped permission controls

User seats can be limited by plan.

Security settings and two-factor enforcement

Users can enable TOTP-based two-factor authentication, and plans can require it.

Higher-trust teams can enforce 2FA before users continue into the app.

  • Fortify-powered two-factor setup
  • Recovery codes and challenge flow
  • Plan-gated 2FA enforcement middleware

2FA enforcement can be plan-gated.

Billing, trials, subscriptions, and plan limits

Manage free plans, cardless trials, Stripe subscriptions, lifetime purchases, downgrades, and feature limits.

Accounts can start easily, upgrade cleanly, and keep historical billing and invoice records intact.

  • 14-day paid-plan trials without a card
  • Stripe checkout, webhooks, dunning, and grace periods
  • Project freezing and limit enforcement on downgrades

Onboarding and sample data

Guide new account owners toward the first actions that prove the product’s value.

Teams reach the tasks + time + rates = profitability workflow faster.

  • Post-registration welcome modal
  • Outcome-based setup checklist
  • Optional sample workspace data

Admin operations

Super admins can manage accounts, plans, discounts, feature overrides, articles, AI settings, and support roles.

The product has the internal controls needed to operate a SaaS business, not just the customer-facing app.

  • Plan and feature assignment admin
  • Account, user, discount, and support-agent management
  • Article CMS and AI provider settings

Why it converts

A feature set designed around the way service businesses make money.

Generic project tools usually stop at tasks and dashboards. Tideflow connects the operational workflow to the commercial one: time, rates, budgets, expenses, invoices, permissions, and reports.

For owners

See revenue, cost, margin, budget burn, overdue invoices, and client profitability without waiting for manual reporting.

For project managers

Plan the work, spot blockers, watch budgets, review files, and understand what is ready to invoice.

For delivery teams

Work from tasks, boards, lists, timers, notes, attachments, mentions, templates, and recurring work.

For operations

Control roles, plan limits, billing flows, account settings, support, security, and admin workflows from one system.

Work that moves forward

Start with the work. Keep the margin visible.

Tideflow brings client work, time tracking, invoicing, files, reports, and profitability into one connected workspace for service businesses.
