Social media agencies lose money when work and budgets drift out of sight.
Pain points
- Hours disappear across tools, chats, and context switches — no reliable picture of true effort.
- Campaign spend crosses 80% or 100% of budget before anyone notices.
- Owners see revenue, but not labor cost, profit, or margin per client in one place.
- Clients ask for status, but sharing spreadsheets risks exposing rates and internal margins.
- Studio floor tracking is too slow for touch kiosks and live production days.
- Security noise (wrong PINs, link scanning) goes unnoticed until it becomes an incident.
How AgencyPulse solves this
- One cockpit: time logging, Team Lead heatmap, executive KPIs, and master data.
- Traffic-light budget alerts catch drift early; AI estimator checks plans before booking.
- Secure client portals (`/portal/c/…` + PIN) show progress without internal rates.
- 800×480 kiosk start/stop keeps floor time honest; `/dev/status` + n8n surface fraud alerts.
