Innovation.

At Link we pride ourselves on not half-solving problems.

Many apps claim to provide WIP Reporting and Capacity Planning, but if you do a little digging, you’ll find this is nothing more than marketing hype with a hollow core. Link is different. We have reconcilable algorithms for both WIP and Capacity that account for every possible scenario you throw at it.

WIP Algorithm

WIP Algorithm

Our Work in Progress algorithm analyses WIP ledger data to provide accurate reporting on the operations of a firm, enabling you to make decisions that are backed by reliable data.

Here are 5 things you can do to test the accuracy and functionality of our WIP algorithm:

  • WIP balance reconciles to Xero Practice Manager every day
  • Accurate opening and closing WIP for previous periods
  • Invoice values reconcile between client, job & team reports
  • Invoiced & write-up values are visible for every timesheet
  • Average hourly rates available by Staff, Client, Jobs & Tasks

Capacity Algorithm

Capacity Algorithm

Our Capacity algorithm provides live insight into each team members available capacity which allows you to better plan your workflow and balance workloads.

Here are 8 things you can do to test the accuracy and functionality of our Capacity algorithm:

  • Capacity is always live and adjusts with every interaction
  • Capacity is shown as available hours to take on more work
  • Historical overruns don’t impact current month capacity
  • Tasks completed under budget increase available capacity
  • Task overruns reduce available capacity for the month
  • Leave reduces available capacity relative to target capacity
  • Time added to unallocated tasks reduces available capacity
  • Time added to future tasks adjust capacity in both months

Wilson Accounting

Stephanie Pope, Director
"We’d tried multiple other tools, but found them overly complex with too many moving parts. They weren’t particularly intuitive for day-to-day use, so the team didn’t engage with them consistently. As a result, there were gaps in how often we reviewed performance, and we lacked a simple, reliable way to stay on top of key metrics across the business."

Stephanie Pope, Director

Hunter Withers

Brigette Fulton, Director
"With our previous provider, there was low visibility across the firm’s future capacity, hindering our ability to plan ahead. We were using a manual spreadsheet to record incoming work…we were making constant status updates on the spreadsheet as work was allocated to our team, which we then updated again and again…"
