Custom software for agencies and consultancies

The short answer

Agencies rarely need more software; they need fewer, better-connected tools. The recurring problem is that time, capacity, margin and client reporting live in separate products that do not agree, so nobody can answer which projects actually make money.

The problem

“We cannot tell which clients are profitable until the quarter ends.”

Agency director

Time sits in one tool, invoices in another, capacity in a spreadsheet someone maintains by hand. Each is fine alone. Together they mean profitability is a backward-looking guess, and by the time you see a loss-making account it has been loss-making for months.

What you get

Built for how agencies and consultancies actually work.

The same care as any project, aimed at the things that matter in your sector rather than in general.

Time and capacity in one view, per person and per project
Margin visible while a project runs, not after it closes
Client-facing reporting generated instead of assembled by hand
Utilisation that accounts for the unbillable work honestly
Connections to the finance tool you already use
Data brought across from whatever you are replacing

Is this you?

We'd rather tell you now than in month two.

This is for you if

You bill for time and cannot see margin until it is too late
You pay for several overlapping subscriptions that do not connect
Someone spends hours a week assembling reports manually

It's probably not if

An off-the-shelf agency tool genuinely fits — we will say so
The real problem is that nobody logs time, which software will not fix

Common questions

The things people ask before they commit.

Why not just use an off-the-shelf agency tool?

If one fits, use it, and we will tell you when that is the answer. Custom is worth it when your commercial model is unusual, or when you are paying for five tools to do one job badly.

Can it handle retainers and fixed-price work together?

Yes, and this is usually why off-the-shelf tools fail. Most assume one billing model. Mixed retainer, fixed-price and time-and-materials is exactly the case that justifies building.

How long before it is useful?

You will be logging real time into it within the first month. We deliberately ship the narrow useful thing early rather than a complete system at the end.
