Frequently Asked Questions

How does reporting help with animation project profitability?

Reporting software combines animation project revenue with time tracking and production costs to show true profitability. You can see which animation projects are profitable, which are breaking even, and which are losing money. This helps you identify profitable project types, adjust pricing, and make data-driven decisions about which projects to take on. Profitability reports show margins by project, client, and animation phase.

Can you track production costs by phase?

Yes, you can track production costs separately for pre-production, animation, and post-production phases. This helps you identify which phases are driving costs and optimize budgets accordingly. You can see cost trends over time and compare costs across different project types. This helps you estimate future projects more accurately and control production budgets.

How does this help with team utilization?

Utilization reports show how much time each animator spends on billable animation work versus non-billable activities. You can see which animators are overloaded, which have capacity, and identify utilization trends over time. This helps you balance animation workloads, prevent burnout, and optimize resource allocation across projects. Target utilization rates help you plan hiring and capacity.

What about revenue forecasting for animation studios?

Revenue reports combine active animation project values with pipeline opportunities and completion probabilities to forecast future revenue. You can see revenue projections for the next quarter or year based on active projects, expected completions, and pipeline conversion rates. This helps you plan resources, set goals, and make strategic decisions about animation business growth.
