CRM for Agencies That Sell and Deliver

KudosCRM carries a client from quote to order to delivery project without anyone retyping the scope. You see what each project was sold for, what has been invoiced, and which ones are slipping, all on the client’s record.

Quotes from your catalog and price books, versioned as scope changes
Accepted quotes convert to orders without re-keying a line
Won work becomes a project with a health badge and an owner
Budget against invoiced for every project in delivery reports

14-day free trial of Professional, no credit card required.

What Is a CRM for Agencies?

A CRM for agencies keeps the pitch, the quote, the signed scope and the delivery work on one client record, so nobody re-enters what was sold. In KudosCRM the accepted quote becomes an order, the won deal becomes a project, and the whole story stays on the client’s page.

How Does an Agency Run a Client Engagement in KudosCRM?

In five handoffs, each one reading from the step before. Nothing about the scope is typed twice.

1

Price the scope

Build the quote from your products, with the client’s price book applied automatically.

Quotes · Price books

2

Send and version it

Track status through Accepted. When terms change, issue a new version so the history stays.

Quotes

3

Turn it into an order

The accepted quote converts into an order and lands in your fulfilment queue.

Orders

4

Deliver the project

Open the project with members, tasks and files. Drag it between statuses as work moves.

Projects · Workload

5

Bill against the budget

Uninvoiced orders form your billing queue, and delivery reports compare budget with invoiced.

Orders · Delivery reports

Why Do Agency Handoffs Break between Sales and Delivery?

Because the pitch lives in one tool and the project in another. The account lead knows what was promised, the delivery team starts from a blank brief, and the client repeats themselves.

The Problem

Scope Gets Lost in the Handoff

The signed scope sits in the sales tool while the team delivers from a forwarded email
Delivery opens a blank project and asks the client to explain the brief again
Nobody sees a project slipping until the client emails to ask where it is
Nobody knows a retainer has gone over budget until the invoice is disputed

How KudosCRM Handles It

One Record from Pitch to Project

Quotes, orders and projects share one client record
Health badges and Command Center surface slipping projects every morning
Company 360 gets the delivery lead ready for a status call in two minutes
Delivery reports put budget next to invoiced for every project

See Which Client Projects Are Slipping Before the Client Does

Every project carries a status, an owner, a progress read and a red, amber or green health badge. Scan the board for colour first, then check Workload before you promise the next client a start date.

Health you can read in a glance

Red and amber badges tell you which projects need attention before you open one.

The full working file

Tasks, files, members, notes and a timeline of what changed, on every project.

Workload before you overbook

Due-today and overdue counts sit next to each person, so you rebalance before a deadline slips.

One morning queue

Command Center pulls slipping projects, stalled deals and overdue tasks into a single at-risk list.

Know What Each Project Was Sold for and What You Have Billed

Delivery reports put budget next to invoiced for every project, so an engagement drifting past its scope shows up while you can still talk about it.

Uninvoiced orders

Your billing queue: sold work that has not been invoiced yet.

Unshipped orders

Your fulfilment queue: sold work that has not been delivered yet.

Cycle time

How long projects take from start to done, over any date range.

On-time rate

The share of projects completed by their due date, month by month.

Run Every Client Kickoff the Same Way

Task templates turn your onboarding into a reusable task type. One pick fills in the custom fields, spawns the default subtasks and merges in the client’s details, so the fifth kickoff looks like the first.
