Introduction
Despite the widespread adoption of project collaboration tools, many software companies still struggle to assess the profitability of their projects and manage resources effectively. Recognizing the need for a unified solution, our client set out to create Forecastify, a web-based ERP system designed specifically for digital agencies.
