ARROW RETAINER

Retainer management software for pre-paid hours

How much of the block the client bought is left?

Retainer sells the hours before the work happens. A client buys a block — forty hours for the month — and logged work draws it down. This is a retainer, not time-and-materials: the point of the product is the balance.

What Arrow Retainer does

  • Purchased blocks, with rollover and period
  • Burn rate and the exhaustion date it implies
  • Low-balance warning before the client hits zero

Who it is for

Agencies, consultancies and support providers who sell hours in advance and need account managers — and clients — to see the remaining balance at any time.

How it connects to the suite

Standalone, Retainer answers its own question. Inside Arrow it shares one sign-in, one people directory and one licence store with every other product.

Questions

Arrow Retainer FAQ

What happens when a retainer runs low?

Arrow Retainer warns before the balance reaches zero, using the current burn rate. Each budget carries two ceilings — hours and money — which flag an overrun rather than block the work.

Does a retainer have to be monthly?

No. A budget can cover any dates you choose, and the next period repeats the same shape.
