Go live in 30 days with
Quickstart: Prospect to Payment.

A fast, affordable implementation that connects pipeline, delivery, time, costs, WIP, and invoicing on one customer record, with clear ownership and process gates.

  • 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. Mid-sized firms usually feel the payoff fastest because complexity outpaces structure, but the rollout is the same.
