Why teams choose PeopleMuster

  • There's no seat floor. A 12-person studio pays for 12 people, at $3 each.
  • Leave and holidays sit in the grid. Booked leave and company holidays show on the capacity plan, by day, in under, full and over bands, before anyone reads the totals.
  • Hours come back as utilisation. People log time daily by project, a manager approves it, and utilisation returns by person, project and department with a week-over-week trend you can post to Slack.
  • The HR side is in the same bill: attendance, leave quotas, onboarding checklists, the org chart and the IT asset register.
  • Meetings file themselves. Fireflies transcripts land against the right client project, with AI-derived risk signals for leadership.
