The problem

Process consistency is the whole job

When engagements are structured and document-heavy, an inconsistent process is not just inefficient — it is a risk.

Steps vary by who runs the engagement

Without a template, two engagements of the same type follow different paths and produce different records.

Approvals are hard to evidence

Sign-off scattered across email threads is difficult to locate when it actually matters.

Documents live in attachments

Version confusion arises the moment the current file is whichever one was forwarded last.

The solution

Structure the engagement, keep the record

Templates make each engagement repeatable, approval forms capture sign-off against the work, and the portal holds the documents.

  • Repeatable engagements — Workflow templates run every engagement of a given type through the same sequence of steps.
  • Structured sign-off — Dynamic forms with approval flow record who approved what, attached to the engagement.
  • Documents in one place — Client portals hold project files against the engagement rather than in an email chain.
  • Clear ownership — Tasks carry named owners and deadlines, so responsibility for each step is explicit.

Example workflow

A structured engagement

The same sequence every time, with the evidence of each step captured as you go.

  1. 1

    Enquiry

    A prospective client is captured and qualified against your criteria.

  2. 2

    Consultation

    An initial meeting is booked from real availability, with buffers applied.

  3. 3

    Engage

    A workflow template creates the standard steps for that engagement type.

  4. 4

    Approve

    Approval forms capture sign-off at each gate, recorded against the job.

  5. 5

    Close

    Documents and status remain available to the client in their portal.

FAQ

Professional Services questions

What teams in this segment ask before they start.

Can we make every engagement follow the same steps?

Yes. Workflow templates exist for exactly this — you define the process once and every new engagement of that type starts from it.

How is client sign-off recorded?

Through dynamic forms with approval flow. The form is routed for sign-off inside the platform and stays attached to the job, so it can be found later.

Where do client documents live?

In the client portal, against the project. Clients log in to view status and files rather than relying on emailed attachments.

Can we use our own domain and email?

Custom domain and custom email are listed under the Enterprise plan. Check the pricing page for current plan contents.
