Run every project and team, on software you own
Most growing teams end up juggling a stack of disconnected tools — one app for the kanban board, another for sprints, a spreadsheet for timesheets, a separate place for clients, and email for everything else. ChetsPMS replaces that sprawl with a single, self-hosted platform that brings agile project delivery and the people side of the business together: projects, sprints, boards, backlog, tasks, time tracking, clients and built-in HR — all in one system you fully own.
This is the self-hosted single-install edition: you install it once, on your own server, for your own company. No multi-tenant overhead, no per-seat cloud bill — just professional, agile-grade tooling that belongs to you.
Why ChetsPMS
- You own it. Self-hosted on your own infrastructure, so your projects, client data and team records stay under your control — not locked inside someone else's cloud.
- One purchase, no subscriptions. A single license for your whole company instead of a recurring per-user bill that grows with every hire.
- Project delivery and HR, together. Plan sprints and log hours in the same place you manage people, holidays and roles — no second system to reconcile.
Who it's for
ChetsPMS is built for the teams who actually ship the work:
- Agile software teams running scrum and kanban
- Digital agencies juggling clients and parallel projects
- Product and engineering teams managing a backlog and sprints
- Consultancies that bill against tracked time
- Growing companies that want project delivery and HR in one self-hosted system
A complete tour of what's inside
Projects & proposals
Spin up projects, turn proposals into active work, and stay ahead of deadlines with overdue reminder notifications. A roadmap view keeps the bigger picture in front of the whole team so priorities never drift.
Agile boards & tasks
Work flows across a kanban board with drag-and-drop columns, a pane view for focused execution, and overdue notifications so nothing stalls silently. Dynamic task types and custom fields let you shape the board around how your team actually works.
Sprints & backlog
Plan and run sprints, groom a prioritised backlog, and pull work into each iteration with the cadence agile teams rely on — keeping delivery predictable sprint after sprint.
To-dos, meetings & knowledge base
Personal to-do checklists keep individual work on track, a meetings module (with Zoom integration) organises the conversations around delivery, and a built-in knowledge base keeps documentation where the work lives.
Clients
Manage client records alongside the projects they belong to, so account context, deliverables and history all sit in one place instead of scattered across inboxes.
Timesheets & time tracking
Log hours against work with timesheets, and keep everyone aligned with a daily work email summary — giving you accurate, billable time without a separate tracking app.
Built-in HRM
A full people layer ships in the box: user management, team management, holidays management and company-wide announcements — so the team behind the projects is managed in the same system as the projects themselves.
Roles & permissions
Flexible role management with granular permissions and menu allocation gives each person exactly the access they need, from admin down to client — keeping sensitive data and actions properly scoped.
Reports & dashboards
Reports surface what's happening across projects and people, a customisable dashboard puts the right metrics front and centre, and activity logs record who did what for accountability and audits.
Integrations & automation
Connect the tools you already use — Slack for notifications, Zoom for meetings, and OpenAI for AI-assisted work — plus cron-driven automation, auto backup, and configurable email settings, templates and notifications.
No-code extensibility
A custom module generator lets you build new no-code modules without touching the codebase, a file manager keeps documents organised, and company and system settings let you tailor the platform to your business.
Branding & localization
Make it yours with 14 interface languages and selectable dark, light and gradient themes.
A day with ChetsPMS
A new project lands; you convert the proposal into active work and lay it out on the roadmap. The team plans the sprint, pulls items from the backlog onto the kanban board, and starts moving cards across columns. As people work, they log hours on their timesheets and a daily work email keeps everyone aligned, while overdue reminders flag anything slipping. A client check-in is scheduled through the meetings module and runs over Zoom; notes land in the knowledge base. Behind the scenes, HR records a team member's holiday and posts a company announcement. At the end of the day, the dashboard and reports show exactly where every project stands — no spreadsheets to stitch together, no second app to reconcile.
Built on a modern, maintainable stack
ChetsPMS is built on Laravel with Blade and Bootstrap — a stable, widely-understood stack that any Laravel developer can customise and extend. It runs on MySQL or PostgreSQL (with Redis and SQLite supported), the interface is responsive for phones and tablets, sign-in is secured with email and password, and you can deploy via Docker, on a VPS, in the cloud (AWS, DigitalOcean) or on cPanel.
