The customer layer

A CRM shaped like your business

A CRM for small and medium businesses — the parts you'll actually use, and nothing else. Customized the way your business already works.

Why it's different

Three things you'll notice in the first week

It lives in your Command Center

Your customers sit in the same platform as your dashboard, your agents, your documents and your automations. No integration to buy, no sync to babysit, no second login for the team.

Customized exactly to your business

Tell the Architect what your business calls things and how your process runs. It renames the objects, builds the pipeline, adds the fields and wires the automations — then shows you the change and waits for your yes.

No fluff to click past

A small, fixed set of objects — companies, contacts, partners, deals — and everything about them is yours to name. Nothing on the screen exists because an enterprise buyer once asked for it.

Who builds it

The Architect does the setup. Real people do the hard parts.

You're never handed an empty CRM and a link to the documentation. Two things stand between you and a system that fits your business — one is an agent, and one is a team of humans who do this for a living.

In the product, any day

The Architect

An agent in your Agent Hub whose only job is your setup. Ask in plain language and it does the work in front of you — then shows you the change and waits for your approval. Owners and admins only, and nothing it does is one-way.

  • Rename objects, stages and statuses
  • Add pipelines, record types and fields
  • Write and edit automation rules
  • Reshape any of it later, in a sentence
With you, on a call

Our team

Real people — the same ones who run our own business on this platform. We map your process, stand up the first version with you, and build the genuinely custom pieces no agent should take on alone.

  • Discovery and process mapping
  • Data migration from what you run today
  • Connector, email and notification setup
  • Custom builds, integrations and bespoke agents
How the partnership works

Nearly everyone uses both. We build the first version with you so it's right on day one, and the Architect keeps it current as the business changes — without a support ticket, a consultant, or a wait.

Customizing it

Describe it. Don't configure it.

Most CRMs are customizable in the sense that you can go and do it yourself. Here you say what you need in your own words, and the Architect — an agent sitting in your Agent Hub — makes the change, shows you exactly what it did, and waits for your yes.

You say

“We're a law firm. Call contacts Clients, and give me a Matter pipeline: intake, active, on hold, closed.”

It does

Renames the object across every screen, creates the Matter record type, and builds the four stages as pipeline columns.

You say

“Matters need a court date, a practice area dropdown, and the referring attorney.”

It does

Adds three custom fields — a date, a select with your options, and a relationship pointing at a contact — scoped to Matters only.

You say

“When a Matter moves to Active, email the client the welcome letter and create an onboarding task for the paralegal.”

It does

Writes a trigger rule on the stage change with two actions, then logs every firing so you can see it worked.

Every structural change is proposed, previewed and approved — and a bad reference is rejected when it's written, not discovered three weeks later by the person who trusted the field.

What's inside

Everything a small business needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

Not an enterprise CRM with the hard parts switched off. A small set of things, grouped the way you’d actually ask for them.

Your customers
Companies and contacts
Two directories. Searchable, filterable, owned by someone.
Partners and referrals
Who sent you whom, in your industry’s words.
Pipelines you define
Deals, matters, listings, jobs. Your stages, your board.
Custom fields
Nine types. Scope one to a record type or to everything.
Your day
Saved views
Shape a list once, star it, share it with the team.
The numbers up top
Open pipeline, new this month, accounts nobody has touched.
One timeline per record
Notes, calls, meetings, email — by a person or an agent.
Documents on the record
Attach a contract; your agents can read it.
Your team
Import from a spreadsheet
Drop the CSV, check the mapping, commit.
Email sequences
Multi-step follow-up. The opt-out always works.
Permissions
Grant exactly what you mean. No role matrix to study.

Automations

It reacts to the record, not to a schedule

A rule is one trigger, your conditions, and a list of things to do — authorable by the person who runs sales, not by a developer.

When this happens

  • A deal is created, updated, assigned, or moves stage
  • A deal is won or lost
  • A company or contact changes status
  • Activity is logged on a record
  • A linked task is completed

Do this

  • Notify a teammate
  • Send an email
  • Create a task
  • Update a field on the record
  • Log an activity
  • Enroll in a sequence
  • Hand off to a full workflow
A rule, in full

When a company's status changes to Customer and the account owner is on the sales team → send the onboarding email, create a kickoff task due in two days, and notify the operations lead.

Every firing is written to a ledger — including the times it looked at a record and decided not to act. When an automation didn't do what you expected, you can see why.

How it compares

Powerful like Attio. Simple enough to actually roll out.

We took the good idea from the modern CRMs — rename anything, relate anything — and removed the part where you have to build it yourself.

Attio and Folk are genuinely good tools, and if you enjoy building your own system you will like them. Most owners we meet don't want a project — they want the thing to exist by Friday.

Scenarios

One engine, renamed for your trade

Same CRM in every example below. What changes is the vocabulary, the stages and the fields — which is exactly the part you're allowed to change.

Law firm
Contacts → Clients · Deals → Matters
Intake pipeline for matters, a court-date field, the engagement letter on the matter.
Real estate
Companies → Brokerages · Deals → Listings
Separate Listing and Buyer pipelines, showing-to-closing stages, disclosures on the deal.
Plumbing & field service
Companies → Customer Accounts
Most work is repeat, not a pipeline — accounts carry their own history and lifetime value.
Trucking & logistics
Companies → Shippers · Partners → Brokers
Shippers and brokers in one hierarchy, so you see which broker actually sends freight.
Staffing & recruiting
Deals → Placements
The client and every open requisition in one pipeline, agreements filed on the placement.
Restaurant & catering
Deals → Catering Inquiries
Inquiry-to-confirmed for the bookings worth chasing. Day-to-day covers stay in your POS.

It's one system

The CRM is a layer, not an app

It runs on the same three layers as everything else in your Command Center — which is why an email, a document and a task all know about the same customer.

Questions

What owners ask us first

Do I have to move off the CRM I already use?

No. If you run HubSpot, Zoho or another commercial CRM, we connect to it and let your agents read and act on it live — your system stays your system of record. Our CRM is for the businesses whose customer data is currently spread across a spreadsheet, an inbox and somebody's memory, or who want the pipeline sitting next to everything else they run.

Can I buy the CRM without Project Management?

Yes. They are two separate modules that share one platform. Buy either one, or both — a record on one side can link to work on the other, but neither needs the other to be useful.

My business does not really have a sales pipeline. Is this still for me?

Yes, and this is the part most CRMs get wrong. Companies and contacts are permanent records with their own lifecycle — prospect, customer, churned — and they never have to be dragged onto a board. Pipelines are optional, and you can run several different ones for different kinds of work.

Who is allowed to change the structure?

Owners and admins. Renaming objects, adding fields and changing stages is shared team infrastructure, so it is deliberately not something an individual member or an agent can do on their own. Members get exactly the per-record write access you grant them.

Is my customer data fed into an AI model?

Your records are never embedded into a search index or baked into a prompt. When an agent needs to know something about a customer it queries the record live, through the same permissions you gave the person asking, and the request is logged. Only the documents you deliberately attach are indexed for search.

How long does setup actually take?

It starts as a conversation, not a configuration project. We map your business on a discovery call, stand up your objects, pipelines and fields with you, and import what you already have. From then on you reshape it by asking the Architect, and our team stays available for the bigger pieces — that part never stops being a conversation.
