An operating system for a consultancy

CLIENT: Kaizen Labs product

One system for a consulting business end to end, from lead capture through project lifecycle, invoicing and the follow-ups in between, instead of a CRM bolted to a website bolted to a spreadsheet.

CRM dashboard for the consultancy operating system. All displayed names, companies, counts and dates are placeholder values, and the sidebar logo is blurred.
// overview

Consultancies run on a public site that captures leads, a CRM that forgets them, and a spreadsheet that tracks the actual project. Nothing joins up, so the same client gets entered three times and follow-ups happen when somebody remembers. The work is real; the system around it is three systems pretending to be one.

This is one line end to end: lead capture from the public site straight into the client record, opportunity through to won work, project lifecycle against that same record, invoicing and payment attached to the project, and follow-up on whatever is overdue at any stage. It grew out of a consultancy build where the public site and a client record system shipped as one stack, and is now a Kaizen Labs product in development.

// specs
Covers
Lead capture → opportunity → project lifecycle → invoicing → payment → follow-up
Shape
Public site and authenticated application on one stack, one client record
Where AI sits
Lead qualification against configured triggers, follow-up drafting from lifecycle stage, and project-status summaries for review
// what it does
01

Lead capture from the public site straight into the client record, with no re-entry

02

Inbound leads qualified against triggers you configure, rather than sorted by hand

03

Follow-ups drafted from where the client actually is in their lifecycle, for a human to send

04

Project status summarised onto the dashboard for review, instead of assembled for a meeting

05

Project lifecycle against the client record, not a separate spreadsheet

06

Invoicing and payment status attached to the project it belongs to

// how it runs
PUBLIC SITE → CLIENT RECORD → PROJECT → BILLING
  1. Public site
  2. Lead capture
  3. Client record
  4. Project lifecycle
  5. Invoicing
  6. Follow-up
// how we worked
01 / Diagnose

Started from the re-entry: the same client typed into a form, a CRM and a spreadsheet, and the follow-up that falls between all three.

02 / Ship

Public site and authenticated application on one stack, sharing one client record rather than syncing three.

03 / Scale

One stack, one client record: a new module attaches to the same record rather than adding a fourth system.
