From the pitch to the paid invoice.
CustoDesk gives agencies and consultants one place for the proposal, the contract, the hours behind the work and the bill at the end of it. Send the scope, get it signed, track the time against it, and invoice it without opening a second tool.

Tell us about your business and pick a time. We set CustoDesk up for a business like yours before the call, then walk you through it.
One approved scope, with the signature and the hours already attached to it. Invoicing it is not a reconstruction, because nothing about it lives anywhere else.
One login is the product. This is the section that shows it.
One platform, start to finish
Right now the proposal is in one tool, the contract is in another, the hours are in a spreadsheet somebody has to remember to fill in, the invoice is behind the accounting login, and nobody can say what a client has actually cost you.
An enquiry comes in through your form and lands as a client with their answers attached
Forms & Checklists
You send the scope as a proposal, and they approve it from their phone
Quotes
The contract goes out from a template and comes back signed and timestamped
Contracts & eSign
The team log their hours against that client's job as the work happens
Time Tracking
Approved hours become the invoice, and the card payment lands in your own Stripe account
Invoices
five steps, five apps, one login. Nothing was exported, nothing was typed in twice, and it stayed the same customer the whole way down.
Every app named here is shipped and running. None of it is a roadmap.
The apps behind that, and what each one does for you
Send the scope as a proposal they approve online, in the word your clients expect, and ask for a deposit before the work starts.
Contracts and statements of work from reusable templates with the client's name dropped in, signed on a phone, with who signed and when kept on the contract.
Turn approved hours into an invoice that chases what is owed on its own. Retainers go out on a schedule you set once.
One enquiry form, one brief, one onboarding checklist. Share the link and every response arrives as a client profile with the answers already on it, rather than as an email you have to unpick.
Everyone logs hours against the client and the piece of work, so you can see what a retainer really costs you before you renew it, and bill the hours you meant to bill.
The same apps you have just read about, as one switch.
All of it, switched on together
The Client Work Bundle is exactly the apps on this page, on from day one, with nothing to connect and nothing you are stuck with.
- One login for every one of them, and for whoever you add to the team.
- Your whole team in all of it. Two of you or twenty, it works the same.
- On and off in a click add an app the month you need it, drop one the month you don't.
A bundle is only ever its apps, and nothing is marked up for being in one. See how pricing works.
Nothing here is needed on day one. That is the point of it being a switch.
Then it grows with you, one app at a time
Each is one switch, the day the business asks for it, and it opens already knowing your customers.

Worth knowing before you sign up
There are two of us. Is this built for a big agency?
It is built for whoever turns it on. Nothing here needs a team: no roles to configure, no approval chains, no seats to hand out. The proposal, the contract, the hours and the invoice in one place is worth it on your own, and the day you take somebody on they are one invite away.
We bill fixed fee, not by the hour.
Then bill fixed fee. Tracking hours and billing hours are two different switches: the time you log can become invoice lines, or it can just tell you what a project cost you while the client sees the price you quoted. Plenty of studios use it only for the second.
Where does the actual work live?
In the free Core Workspace that comes with every account: projects, tasks with their own statuses, subtasks, dependencies, comments, and List, Board, Calendar or Table views of any of it. That part costs nothing whether or not you ever switch on a paid app.
Can I start with just invoicing and contracts?
Yes, and it is a normal place to start. Add time tracking the month somebody asks where the hours went, and forms when you are tired of the same three emails. Each one opens already knowing your clients.
We are on retainers, not projects.
Set the schedule once and the invoice raises itself, weekly through to yearly, sent automatically or dropped in as a draft for you to look at. Pause it when a client pauses, and resuming picks up from the next one rather than firing every invoice it missed.
Do I pay for every person in the studio?
No. Every price is per workspace, not per person, so the whole studio works in every app you switch on. Hiring a third designer does not change the bill.
