Projects
Projects and Budgets, Simplified.
Project tracking software for teams that need to keep projects, tasks, hours, expenses, budgets, and costs together without chasing spreadsheets or disconnected reports.
Project tracking software that keeps work and costs connected
MindSalt helps teams see the project story behind the numbers. Track time, expenses, tasks, rates, budgets, and billing together so managers can spot budget drift, review project costs, and understand profitability before the work gets away from them.
Tasks
Organize each project around the tasks your team actually works on, then track time where it belongs. Tasks can be billable or non-billable, active or closed, and tied into project budgets so the details stay useful after the timesheet is submitted.
Project Access
Keep the right projects in front of the right people. Make projects open to everyone or limit access to specific employees and teams, then use project-level rates when a client, contract, or special pricing rule needs its own setup.
Set Project Dates
Set project start and end dates so assigned employees can only track time and expenses during the approved project window. It’s a simple way to support contract terms and prevent out-of-scope entries.
Budget by Project or Task
Set budgets by hours, billing, or cost, then track them at the project level or for individual tasks. Expenses can be included too, giving your team a more complete view of project costs, progress, and profitability.
