Project management built for how your studio actually works

Five tools, none of which quite fit: tasks here, time there, client updates in email. ProjectPulse is our working demo of bespoke project management software for marketing and creative agencies — projects, boards, time and client visibility in one tool that matches your studio's rhythm.

The problem

Agency ops friction

Tool sprawl

Trello + Harvest + spreadsheets + Slack threads = nobody knows the real status.

Time leaks

Unlogged hours and scope creep quietly eat the margin on every retainer.

Client update overhead

Status decks and 'quick call?' requests burn billable hours.

Per-seat pricing

Freelancers and clients need access too — and every seat costs, monthly, forever.

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.

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

Why bespoke

Software that fits you — not a subscription you fight

Off-the-shelf

  • Your data lives inside someone else's roadmap

Bespoke, built by us

  • Fixed price up front — owned outright, no licences, no per-seat fees
  • Shaped precisely around how your business actually works
  • Only the features you need, so it stays fast and 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.
