A scoped implementation that connects pipeline, delivery, time, costs, WIP, and invoicing on one customer record, with clear ownership and process gates.
Quickstart: Prospect to Payment.
A typical implementation runs to 30 days.
- One Real-Time Operating View
- Billing You Can Send
- WIP You Can Trust
- Source-Linked Traceability
What “go live” means
Go live means your team is running real work on DAY ONE, with delivery and finance operating from the same governed record. The core flow is live, users are trained, and your first billing cycle can run without rebuilding the story in spreadsheets.
What you will have live:
- One customer record linking pipeline, engagement, delivery, and billing rules.
- First-pass invoicing from governed inputs and approvals where required.
- Audit-ready WIP with clear billable, pending, and exception states.
- Source-linked traceability from invoice line items back to time, costs, & approvals.
- A baseline operating dashboard for delivery, WIP, and billing readiness.
Designed to fit
without a drawn-out programme
Works whether your firm is 5 people or 500 people. Quickstart connects pipeline, delivery, and finance on one governed record, then scales. The rollout is the same at either end of that range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Quickstart include?
Configured core flows from quote to delivery to WIP and invoicing, plus training and go-live support.
What does “live” mean?
Real users running real work and first-pass invoicing from governed rules.
What do you need from us?
A sponsor, core users weekly, and timely decisions to keep scope governed.
Can we do this without Salesforce today?
Yes. It can be bundled if you are not using Salesforce.
What integrations are required?
None required to go live. Accounting integration and other tools can be phased.
Do we have to replace existing tools?
No. Replacement is optional. If tools are required for good reasons, DAY ONE can work with them.
How do you handle data migration?
Start with the minimum required for go-live and expand as needed.
What happens after go-live?
Stabilisation, then phased improvements based on priorities.
Is this custom implementation?
No. It is a governed rollout of standard operating flows.
How do you avoid scope blowouts?
Clear scope, weekly cadence, and decision rights. Standard before custom.
How long does Quickstart take?
A typical Quickstart implementation runs to 30 days. That holds when a sponsor can make decisions, a small core team is available weekly, and we go standard first. Where those conditions do not hold, we agree a revised plan rather than compress the scope.
