This is the part that decides whether a delivery date is a plan or a hope. Three things feed each other: what depends on what, who is actually available, and how long things really took last time.
Availability
Gantt, timeline and capacity planning are included from Pro. Expenses and customer reporting are part of Studio.
The Gantt view lays tasks out as bars against a calendar and draws the dependencies between them. The critical path — the chain that determines the end date — is highlighted, so it is obvious which slip costs a day and which does not.
Dragging a bar moves the task. Where dependencies make a date impossible, the view says so rather than accepting it quietly.
Capacity compares committed work against each person's work calendar — their working days and hours, including leave. A week that looks fine in a task list often turns out to be a hundred and twenty per cent of somebody once holidays are in it.
The point of the view is to have that argument before the commitment rather than after.
Tracked hours roll up per task, project, person and customer, and they are what makes the next estimate better than the last one.
Costs can be recorded against a project — a stock licence, a freelancer invoice, a render farm bill — and a receipt PDF can be generated from them. For an agency this is the difference between a project that looked profitable and one that was.
Client records sit next to the projects and hours booked against them, so “what did this client actually cost us this quarter” is a view rather than a spreadsheet evening.
Reporting is deliberately narrow, covering the questions that get asked repeatedly:
Getting the data out
A documented public API is planned, not built. Until it exists, reporting data leaves through export rather than an integration — worth knowing if you were planning to wire Ceyu into an existing billing system.
