How it works

Three steps from data
to client-ready report.

Craftlane is built around your existing workflow. No migration, no training, no lock-in.

01
Define your project

Set your start and end date, total budget, hourly rate, and team capacity. Plan FTEs week by week with an inline grid — adjust any week at any time.

Free · Local file
02
Enter actuals weekly

Each week, log actual hours and invoiced amounts. Craftlane calculates burn rate, remaining budget, and variance against plan — instantly.

Free · Offline
03
Share with confidence

Export a self-contained HTML report or publish a live dashboard URL. Add your logo and brand colour. Clients see a polished, professional view — no login required on their side.

Features

Built for the realities
of large engineering projects.

Local file, always yours

Your project data is stored as a plain JSON file on your machine. Open it in any editor. Put it in Dropbox. No vendor lock-in, ever.

FTE planning grid

Plan staffing capacity week by week across the full project timeline. Grouped by month, with automatic hour totals — exactly how PMs actually think.

Four-metric chart

Planned hours, actual hours, cumulative invoiced, and remaining budget — on a single dual-axis chart with calendar week grouping by month.

One-click sharing

Publish a live dashboard URL your client can bookmark. Always shows the latest data. Password-protect sensitive projects. No client account needed.

Your brand, not ours

Add your company logo and accent colour to every shared report. Clients see your identity, not ours. Professional credibility out of the box.

Works offline, always

The full editor works without internet. On a construction site, in a data-restricted client environment, on a plane. Your tool works when you need it.

My client stopped asking for weekly update calls. They just check the dashboard. That alone saved me three hours a week.
