## Use cases
- [All use cases](https://timix.ai/use-cases)
- [IT services & MSPs](https://timix.ai/use-cases/it-services): Ten clients, one team — and T&M hours falling between the tickets.
- [Law firms & legal teams](https://timix.ai/use-cases/law-firms): Six-minute increments that never make it from the matter to the bill.
- [Consulting & engineering firms](https://timix.ai/use-cases/consulting): Revenue per engagement is easy. Margin per engagement is the surprise.
- [Design studios & creative agencies](https://timix.ai/use-cases/design-studios): Fixed fees, round-four revisions — and nobody counted the hours.
- [Construction & contractors](https://timix.ai/use-cases/construction): You don't know what a job really cost in labor until it's closed — and the bid's already blown.
- [Architecture firms](https://timix.ai/use-cases/architecture-firms): The design fee is fixed — but you can't see a phase eating it until the fee's already gone.
- [Fixed-fee & fixed-price projects](https://timix.ai/use-cases/fixed-fee-projects): The fee is locked, the hours aren't — and the overrun only shows up after you've eaten it.
- [Project budget tracking](https://timix.ai/use-cases/project-budget-tracking): By the time the monthly report shows the overrun, the budget's already gone.
- [Professional services firms](https://timix.ai/use-cases/professional-services): You need hours, utilization, rates, and margin in one place — without buying a heavyweight PSA.
- [Marketing & advertising agencies](https://timix.ai/use-cases/marketing-agencies): Your best client is your least profitable — you've just been over-servicing the retainer all year.
- [Software development shops](https://timix.ai/use-cases/software-development-shops): Fixed-bid builds eat margin on scope creep — and nobody logged the hours.
- [Client & project profitability tracking](https://timix.ai/use-cases/client-profitability-tracking): Revenue is easy to see. Profit per client is the surprise.

- [Time & Materials (T&M) tracking](https://timix.ai/use-cases/time-and-materials-tracking): Under-recorded T&M hours are revenue you already earned and lost.
- [Bookkeeping firms](https://timix.ai/use-cases/bookkeeping-firms): Fixed monthly fee, unfixed hours — and the small clients quietly run at a loss.
- [Lightweight PSA alternative](https://timix.ai/use-cases/psa-software-alternative): You wanted billable hours and margin — not a six-week PSA rollout.
- [Effortless time tracking](https://timix.ai/use-cases/easy-time-tracking): A timesheet your team avoids is a timesheet that lies.
- [Billable hours tracker](https://timix.ai/use-cases/billable-hours-tracker): An hour you don't capture isn't unbilled — it never existed.

- [Engineering firms](https://timix.ai/use-cases/engineering-firms): Fixed fees, T&M caps, and civil-structural-MEP teams — and the phase that blew the fee shows up after it's spent.
- [Video & media production](https://timix.ai/use-cases/video-production): Two revision rounds quoted, five delivered — and the extra post hours never reached an invoice.
- [Freelancers & independent consultants](https://timix.ai/use-cases/freelancers): The hours you forget to log are the pay cut you never agreed to.

## Tutorials
- [All tutorials](https://timix.ai/tutorials)
