Bespoke Software for Professional Services Firms
I help agencies, consultancies and other professional services firms build bespoke web applications that support their day-to-day work – from enquiry and proposal, through delivery, to reporting and invoicing.
Off-the-shelf CRMs and project tools can be useful, but they rarely reflect your exact processes and often end up supplemented by spreadsheets and email trails. A tailored .NET system can bring your core workflows into one place, while still integrating with tools like Outlook, Teams and accounting software.
What these systems often include
- Lead and client management with a lightweight CRM
- Proposal, project and retainer tracking
- Task, milestone and deliverable visibility
- Timesheets and simple time tracking if required
- Client portals for sharing progress and documents
Why go bespoke instead of another generic tool?
A bespoke solution can be a better fit when:
- Your workflow doesn’t fit neatly into a standard project-management model
- You have compliance or reporting needs that generic tools can’t cover
- You want tight integration with an existing SQL Server system
- You value owning your data and avoiding per-seat SaaS pricing over time
The emphasis is always on clarity and practicality – giving your team a system that supports the way you work, rather than dictating it.
Typical features
- Lead and client CRM
- Project and retainer tracking
- Simple time and task tracking
- Client portals for sharing updates
- Reporting dashboards for partners/directors
- Integration with email and accounts tools
Good fit if you…
- Run a consultancy, agency or B2B services firm
- Use multiple tools and spreadsheets to track work
- Want better visibility of pipeline, work-in-progress and utilisation
- Prefer a tailored system over yet another subscription tool
