Function Point review

Function Point is agency management software in the traditional sense: the system follows a job from client brief to estimate, schedule, time, budget and invoice. Every plan includes client management, customer and creative briefs, estimates and proposals, change order and revision tracking, campaign and project hierarchy, Gantt charts and Kanban boards. Resourcing covers forecasts by role and by staff, tentative projects and PTO tracking, and financial tools include blended, role or staff rates, expense markup, retainer management, task budgeting and batch invoicing. Reports show profitability by client, project and service and compare billable efficiency against utilization. The Standardize plan costs $53 per user per month on annual billing; Optimize, at $62, adds QuickBooks integration and custom saved reports. Function Point includes 1-on-1 implementation and a dedicated customer success manager. The trade-off is cost and a demo-led buying process with no free plan.
