Worklenz

Worklenz delivers an all-in-one project management platform purpose-built for teams that bill clients for their time and expertise. The task management system supports list, Kanban board, and timeline Gantt views with priorities, due dates, assignees, labels, and subtasks. Built-in time tracking offers both start-stop timers and manual entry, logging billable hours directly against tasks and automatically aggregating time data into project-level cost reports. The resource management module provides a visual team utilization dashboard showing capacity allocation across all active projects, helping managers avoid overallocation and balance workloads. Client portals give external stakeholders direct visibility into project progress, task status, and deliverables without requiring internal account access. Financial insights track budgets versus actuals, showing project profitability, cost breakdowns, and burn rate in real time. The analytics engine generates reports on project health, team workload distribution, task completion trends, and time allocation patterns. Project templates enable one-click setup of common agency workflows with pre-configured task structures, milestones, and assignments. The React frontend uses Ant Design components with TypeScript, while the Express.js backend connects to PostgreSQL for data and Redis for caching. Docker Compose deployment includes Nginx reverse proxy with SSL/TLS support, automated database backups, health checks on all services, network isolation, and MinIO for object storage. On RepoCloud, deploy Worklenz on a dedicated VPS with root SSH access, persistent PostgreSQL storage for your project data, and complete control over client portal access and team configurations, all under the AGPL-3.0 license.
