Project Summary

Brew Interactive built a custom time management solution for a small communications agency to help the client manage team workflow and report time spent on client projects. The product, developed in about six months using React, PHP, and Node.js, lets employees log work entries and enables managers to preview deliverables and produce client-facing effort reports. Brew led organized project management (using email, Google Docs and Notion) and mentored the client through adoption, improving visibility into team utilization.

Brew managed the engagement via Notion and communicated with the client through email and Google Docs.
