The Uku monitoring process

01

Agreement

Enter the client agreement in Uku β€” by time or by volume (documents, payroll, VAT). Set the allowed fluctuation.

02

Tracking

Uku reads time entries and the document log in real time. Workload vs. agreement updates automatically β€” no end-of-month reconciliation needed.

03

Decision

When a client drifts from the agreement, you see it immediately in one view β€” green, orange, or red. React before losses pile up.

Business Efficiency

Lead smarter

Monitoring grounds your decisions in data β€” not gut feeling.

  • Save analysis time β€” all client agreements on one screen, not monthly Excels
  • Grow your profit β€” see at a glance who brings in money and who eats hours
  • One-glance overview β€” time, entries, documents, payroll, and VAT together
  • Control over time spent β€” actual workload per client, in real time

Fair Pricing

Uku tells you right away when a price needs to change

  • Red β€” over-fulfilment β€” the client pays less than the work actually demands
  • Green β€” the agreement holds, profit is on track
  • Orange β€” there is still room, but the limit is approaching

The colors give you a clear signal for the pricing conversation β€” not gut feel, but data.

FAQ

Questions about agreement monitoring

Client agreement monitoring automatically compares the work you agreed upon with the client to the actual work done. It tracks both time spent and volume of work, so you always know whether a client is profitable β€” or whether you're doing free extra work.
Uku uses a simple color-coded system. Red means the client exceeds the agreed plan β€” you're doing more work than you're being paid for. Green means work is within the agreed limits. Orange means there is room for additional work within the agreement.
You can set up monitoring for all your clients at once. Define the agreed time and work volume per client, set allowed fluctuation, and Uku starts tracking automatically. It's easier than filling an Excel sheet.
Yes. Monitoring is based on real-time data from your team's time tracking and task completion. You see the current state of every client agreement, not last month's numbers.
Absolutely. The automated monitoring reports show exactly when you need to raise your price. When a client consistently exceeds the agreed plan (red), you have clear data to support a price conversation.
Billing handles invoicing β€” creating and sending invoices. Monitoring tracks whether the work you're doing matches what you agreed to. They work together: monitoring tells you if your pricing is right, and billing executes the invoicing.
