About helloHQ

HelloHQ is a project management software from awork that supports efficient business processes for agencies. It combines centralized key metrics, individual dashboards and reportings, and role-based access so teams can manage their workflows effectively. With over 750 agencies already using the platform, helloHQ offers direct tool integration options, including PowerBI, allowing for improved analysis and reporting capabilities tailored to specific needs. Its all-in-one solution facilitates a comprehensive approach to managing projects while ensuring that critical data is accessible and actionable. Key capabilities: centralized key metrics individual dashboards and reportings role-based access improved analysis options direct tool integration Best for: agencies that need an efficient workflow management solution.

HelloHQ by awork is a modern, lightweight enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution aimed at small-to-medium service businesses and creative agencies that need integrated project, time and financial management without heavyweight ERP overhead. The product’s primary purpose is to centralize quoting, project planning, time tracking, invoicing and basic accounting into a single, collaborative workspace; key features include quote-to-invoice workflows, resource planning, time and expense capture, simple purchase order handling, and dashboards that surface utilization and margin KPIs. The user interface is clean, contemporary and deliberately minimal: a sidebar navigation, project-focused workspaces and timeline boards make it intuitive for non-technical staff, while inline editing, drag-and-drop scheduling and clear visual indicators (utilization bars, budget burn-downs) reduce friction for day-to-day use. Functionality balances depth and simplicity—HelloHQ supports multi-currency invoicing, rate-card based billing, role-based permissions, approval workflows and exportable financial summaries for accountants—its standout capability is tight, real-time linking of time entries to budgets so managers can see margin impact immediately.
