Use cases

One tool, the jobs a small firm bills

mbovy is not a blank board you have to shape yourself. Each use below starts from a ready example built for it, with its customers, tasks and people, so the first thing you see already looks like your firm.

For lawyers, consultants, architects and anyone who sells time

Billing by the hour

A timer on every task, a weekly timesheet, and each client's hours priced at their rate on a statement you send with the invoice. The example is a legal case: a succession in three phases, with the hours on each step and a note only you can see.

A timer ring beside a week of time blocks, one column per day

For accounting firms, bookkeepers and IT maintenance

Retainers and recurring work

A monthly fee per client, the filings and payroll runs that come round every month moved around your holidays, and the extras charged on top. The example is a year-end close for a client on a monthly retainer.

A month of dots with one task repeating every week and one due date moved past a holiday

For studios, agencies and event planners

Projects with a deadline

Phases, tasks and subtasks, a task that cannot start before another finishes, a Gantt chart of the plan, and the estimate against what it took. The example is an event in three phases, with a team and hours already logged.

Phases as bars on a timeline, one waiting for another to finish

For shops, clinics, offices and anyone who serves the public

Claims and suggestions

A QR code on the counter or a link on your website. Each claim becomes a task with an owner, and the customer follows it on a page of their own.

A QR code, the form it opens, and the request on its way to the team

For a support team of two to ten

Support desk

Requests come in through a support form and are worked as one queue: highest priority first, each with an owner, and a weekly review so nothing waits unseen.

A queue of requests stacked by priority, each with its owner

No clients, just a team and its tasks? Basic mode hides projects, phases and types: one shared list of tasks, and nothing else to set up.
