Read the overview
Trakkar shows what each client project is costing you while the work is still going on. Set an hourly cost for each person and track time against projects. The Profitability report then shows cost to date against each project's value. Hours, tasks and invoicing sit in the same tool, so you see the margin before the invoice goes out.
Trakkar costs ₹120 per user per month plus GST, billed in INR.
How billable hours impact project profitability
Billable hours affect profitability on both sides. On hourly work, billable hours that never get logged are revenue you can't bill. On fixed-fee work, revenue is set, so every extra hour adds cost at the rate of the person who logged it, and margin falls. Rework the client doesn't pay for adds cost with no added revenue.
In Trakkar, you give each person an hourly cost rate and enter a value for each project. Each project's Budget tab then shows value, cost to date, profit and margin, with a health badge: On track, Margin thin, Loss or No value set. So you can see the margin slipping while the work is still running, before the invoice goes out.
What project profitability tracking shows for every project
Agencies often find out a project lost money after it closes. By then the hours are spent. Trakkar keeps the numbers current, because the project report reads from the work your team logs every day.
In the reports shown on this page, you can see for each project:
- Hours logged.in the dates you pick.
- Margin health.Each project's Budget tab shows a badge based on its margin: On track, Margin thin, Loss or No value set.
- Cost to date against project value.in the Profitability report.
All time tracking details
Here is what you get:

- Margin health. Each project's Budget tab shows a badge based on its margin: On track, Margin thin, Loss or No value set.
- Cost to date against project value in the Profitability report.
See a project with hours, the team and the client on one record if you want that view in the product.
In Trakkar, a project ties together its tasks, tracked hours, team, client and payments. Open the report and it is already up to date. Nothing to export, nothing to rebuild in a spreadsheet.
How Trakkar works out project cost
The idea is simple. Every hour your team spends on a project has a cost.
Accurate hours, so the numbers hold up
A profitability report is only as good as the hours behind it. If people rebuild their timesheets from memory on Friday, the margin you see is a guess.
Trakkar's desktop app tracks time on Windows and macOS and flags idle time. When work happens away from the tracker, people add a manual entry, and managers approve any time corrections in Time > Requests. You can also mark projects or tasks as non-billable. Internal rework then stays visible in your costs without inflating client totals.

Invoicing in the same tool
Invoicing comes in the same plan. You create invoices and quotations with GST and GSTIN for Indian businesses. You can send quotes, track whether they're accepted and see which invoice each one became, and record partial payments and TDS. Unpaid invoices show on your Finance overview, grouped by how late they are (1-30, 31-60, 61-90, 90+ days). Since projects, hours and invoices live together, you can check a project's margin before you bill the client.
For how time tracking and GST invoicing work in the same account, see time tracking and invoicing software.

Frequently asked questions
What is project profitability tracking?
It means watching what a project costs you against what it is worth, while the work is still going on. In Trakkar, tracked hours and each person's hourly cost give you cost to date for every project.
How does Trakkar work out the cost of a project?
You set an hourly cost for each person, and a project rate where it differs. Trakkar uses the hours tracked on the project to show cost to date against the project's value in the Profitability report.
Does non-billable work count?
You can mark projects or tasks as non-billable. Internal rework stays visible in your costs without inflating client totals.
Can I see profitability before the project ends?
Yes. The project report reads from the hours, tasks and team your people log every day, so it is current whenever you open it.

Yes. Invoices and quotations come in the same plan, with GST and GSTIN supported for Indian businesses.
