Does Pike replace Jira?

Pike covers tasks, boards, timelines, and dependencies, which is enough for many agency teams. Teams with deep engineering workflows can keep their dev tool and run planning, time, and finance in Pike.

Can we run fixed price and time and materials side by side?

Yes. Billing type is set per project: fixed price, time and materials, or capped time and materials. Finance reports roll all of them into one margin view.

How do support retainers work?

Run each retainer as a project with a time budget for the period. Logged hours count against it, and you can bill a fixed amount on a recurring invoice.

Which accounting systems does Pike connect to?

QuickBooks, Xero, Visma e-conomic, and Microsoft Business Central. Customers and products sync in, and invoices created in Pike can be pushed out.

Can developers log time without leaving the task?

Yes. Start a timer from the task panel. It keeps running when Pike is closed, and the hours land on the project with the right rate.

Estimate the build
then watch the actuals

Pike runs the board, the team's bookings, and the project finances from the same tasks. Delivery leads see estimate against actual hours while the sprint is still open.

Where builds lose money

The estimate lives in a proposal, the hours in a timesheet app, and the tickets in a dev tool. Nobody sees all three until the project closes.

Estimates that drift quietly

A two-week integration turns into five. The tickets moved, but the hours never met the budget until the invoice was due.

Developers spread too thin

Your tech lead carries a build, two support retainers, and a pitch. The overload shows up as missed dates instead of a red cell in the plan.

Invoices built by hand

Someone exports hours, cleans them in a spreadsheet, and keys them into accounting. Unbilled time slips through the gaps.

Estimates

Estimate against actuals, per project

Set a time budget on the build. Planned hours come from bookings, actual hours from the timesheet.

Delivery leads see the gap while the sprint is open, and can move scope or people before it reaches the margin.

Invoicing

Invoice straight from approved hours

Pick approved, unbilled entries and Pike builds the invoice lines at each person's rate.

Billed entries are marked, so nothing goes out twice. Push the invoice to QuickBooks, Xero, or e-conomic.
