Business workspace
A business workspace is one system where a company keeps its work, clients, people, time and money as connected records instead of in separate tools. In PLYNT, a task, the client it belongs to, the hours spent on it and the invoice that follows are linked, so a question about one of them can be answered from the others.
Company workspace
A company workspace is the separate space one company’s records live in. People who work for several companies use one PLYNT account and switch between workspaces; each workspace keeps its own clients, tasks, finances, members and permissions, and access in one does not carry over to another.
Connected records
Connected records are entries that reference each other rather than being copied between tools: a request links to the task it became, the task to its client and project, reviewed time to the task, and costs to the project. The benefit is traceability — a figure in a report can be followed back to the work behind it.
Work management
Work management is the day-to-day organisation of tasks, owners, deadlines and priorities across a team. Project management plans one project to a defined end; work management covers everything a team is doing at once. PLYNT combines both on company boards with list, board, calendar, week and timeline views.
Client management
In a delivery business, client management means keeping what was agreed with a client next to the work done for them: agreements, requests, projects, approvals and history. In PLYNT the client record connects to its projects and work history, so a new teammate can see what was promised without searching email and chat.
Team capacity
Team capacity is how much more work people can take on, given their current assignments, attendance and recorded effort. Checking it before accepting a request prevents a deadline from slipping because the same person was assigned again. PLYNT shows assignments, attendance and recorded time together for this decision.
Private time capture
Private time capture records application names, domains and active duration so a person can reconstruct their working day, and keeps that activity private until the person reviews it. It excludes screenshots, keystrokes, page contents and document titles, and managers do not receive a raw activity feed. In PLYNT this capture experience is in development.
Approved time
Approved time is working time that a person has reviewed and linked to a task or client, as opposed to raw tracked activity. Only approved time should count toward project effort and cost, because it reflects what the person confirms they worked on.
Operational finance
Operational finance is the money side of daily delivery: invoices, payments, expenses, receivables and what each project costs. It is not accounting or tax filing. In PLYNT these records sit next to the projects and clients they belong to, so a team can see what was collected and what is still due.
Delivery cost
Delivery cost is what it costs a company to produce the work for a project: reviewed hours multiplied by the cost of those hours, plus direct expenses. For example, 120 hours at $35 is $4,200; with $1,000 of direct expenses the delivery cost is $5,200.
Contribution before overhead
Contribution before overhead is project value minus delivery cost, before company-wide costs such as rent or management are allocated. A project worth $8,000 with $5,200 of delivery cost contributes $2,800, or 35%. It shows which work pays for the company, which a revenue figure alone cannot.
Requests and approvals
Requests and approvals give each incoming need — a client change, a leave request, an operational decision — an owner, a recorded decision and a route into delivery. In PLYNT the approval and its details stay with the request, and an accepted request carries its client, files and agreement into the task it becomes.
Partner workspace
A partner workspace is a separate company workspace in which a partner evaluates PLYNT with its own records, members and agreed access. It keeps the evaluation organised without mixing the partner’s data with another company’s operations.
Traceable business reporting
Traceable business reporting builds reports from the same records the team works in, so every figure can be followed back to the projects, time and costs that produced it. PLYNT’s operational and financial reports work this way instead of combining exports from separate tools.
AI Board
The AI Board is PLYNT’s planned view of business risks, warnings and positive changes, where each finding shows the records behind it and suggests a next step using only information the viewer is allowed to access. It is in development and is not active in current plans.
Task Composer
Task Composer is a planned PLYNT feature that turns a written brief into a draft plan — deliverables, subtasks, acceptance criteria, dates, dependencies and suggested owners — and highlights missing information before the team reviews and assigns the work. It is in development.
Time Intelligence
Time Intelligence is a PLYNT capability in development that suggests which task or client a stretch of reviewed activity belongs to. The person accepts or changes each suggestion; nothing becomes approved time without that review.
Business risk score
The business risk score is the result of PLYNT’s free business scan: 21 self-assessment questions across seven areas — money, time, margin, cash, focus, execution and data hygiene — scored from 0 to 100, where a higher score means more areas to review. It is a self-assessment based on published rules, not a measured financial loss.
