One tool, instead of the five you're currently duct-taping together

Five subscriptions, none of which quite fit: tasks in one, time in another, client updates lost somewhere in email. ProjectPulse is our working demo of bespoke project management for marketing and creative agencies — projects, boards, time and client visibility in one tool that matches your studio's rhythm instead of fighting it.

The problem

Agency ops friction

Death by subscription

Trello plus Harvest plus a spreadsheet plus forty Slack threads equals nobody actually knowing the status.

The timesheet nobody fills in

Hours logged on Friday from vague memory, so the margin on every retainer quietly evaporates.

'Just a quick call?'

Status decks and 'got five minutes?' requests that somehow cost you three billable hours.

Everyone's a paid seat

Freelancers need access, clients need access, and every last login is another charge, every month, forever.

Try ProjectPulse yourself

A working demo of project tracking, task boards and time logging for an agency. Real screens, real flows, sample data — and every timesheet filled in on time, which we admit is the most fictional part. Open it and have a poke around.

What we build

What a bespoke agency system can include

ProjectPulse shows the pattern. Yours reflects your services, your stages and how you bill — retainer, project or hybrid.

Boards your way

Task boards that mirror your real pipeline stages — not someone else's idea of agile.

Time logging people use

One-tap timers on the task you're in. Time capture goes up, invoicing arguments go down.

Retainer burn-down

See hours against retainer per client in real time — scope creep caught in week one, not month three.

Client windows

Clients see their projects' status live — approvals, previews, timelines — without a single status deck.

Resourcing view

Who's under water, who has capacity, what's landing next week — across the whole studio.

Profitability per project

Logged time × rates vs. quoted: know which work makes money and which just makes noise.

How it works

From "this is doing my head in" to shipped — in weeks

Free tech audit

We map how you work today and pinpoint exactly what's costing you time or customers.

Fixed quote

A clear scope and a fixed price, in writing. You know the number before we start.

Delivered in weekly increments you can see and steer — no black box, no drift.

Launch

Tested, your data migrated, live in weeks. We're there for the go-live, not gone.

Full source, docs and UK hosting. Own it outright — grow it with us or anyone.

  • Shaped precisely around how your studio actually works
  • Only the features you need, so it stays fast and stays simple

  • UK-hosted, GDPR-first, and it grows when you do
FAQ

Questions we get asked

We're settled in Trello/Asana — why move?
If it fits, stay! Agencies come to us when the workarounds pile up: client visibility, retainer tracking and profitability usually need three extra tools. One bespoke system replaces the sprawl — and the subscriptions.
Can clients and freelancers get access without extra fees?
Yes — that's the point. Role-based access for unlimited clients and collaborators, because you own the system. No per-seat maths.
What does an agency PM tool cost to build?
Fixed price agreed up front — see the cost guide. Stack it against your current tool subscriptions over two years.
Can it invoice or feed our accounts?
We usually integrate with Xero/QuickBooks or your invoicing flow so logged time becomes draft invoices without re-keying.
