How Cobalt Studios cut invoice prep time in half

A 22-person digital agency replaced three tools with Huble — and stopped losing billable hours to bad time entry.

Cobalt Studios had the operations problem every growing agency has: time tracking in one app, project management in another, invoicing in a third. By the time a client invoice went out, the spreadsheet reconciling all three was always at least a day behind reality.

The switch

They moved everything to Huble over a single quarter — projects first, then time tracking, then invoicing. Six weeks in, the operations team stopped doing the Friday reconciliation entirely.

The numbers

Invoice prep time dropped from roughly four hours per project per month to under two. Billable hour capture improved by nearly $40k per quarter because edits that used to happen days later now happen the same day, when memory is still accurate.
