Software Development Agencies
Software development agencies operate on tight margins with complex projects. Between sprint planning, resource allocation, and client communication, keeping track of profitability can feel impossible. Monton brings clarity to chaos.
The Software Agency Challenge
Software development agencies face unique operational challenges:
Project complexity: Multi-phase projects with changing requirements and technical debt.
Skill-based allocation: Matching the right developers with the right stack and experience level.
Estimation accuracy: Software projects are notoriously hard to estimate, leading to budget overruns.
Multiple billing models: Time & materials, fixed-price, and retainer agreements all at once.
Technical debt tracking: Balancing billable work with internal improvements and maintenance.

Real-World Use Cases
Improving estimates: A web development agency analyzed 6 months of project data in Monton. They discovered their estimates consistently underestimated QA time by 30%. Adjusting their estimation template immediately improved project profitability.
Skill-based allocation: With 15 developers across different stacks, finding the right person for each project was chaos. Monton's skill-based search now instantly shows available developers with the required expertise.
Fixed-price rescue: A fixed-price project was 70% over budget before Monton flagged the issue. The agency renegotiated scope with the client, saving the relationship and recovering costs.
