Features

Everything Kaizen does, from client records to invoices to Kai

Kaizen replaces the scatter of spreadsheets, email threads and separate apps with one portal that holds your clients, invoices, proposals, questionnaires, documents, project information and updates. Kai sits across all of it and can create or update anything you ask for.

This page is the full tour. Every section links to the detail if you want to go deeper.

Clients and projects

Every client gets a record holding contact details, history, notes and every invoice, proposal, questionnaire and project attached to them. Six months later, when they come back and ask about something you agreed, it is one page rather than a search across three apps.

When a client wants a progress update, you can share the project list with them so they can see what is done, what is in progress and what is next.

Everything Kai creates is a normal record in your portal — fully editable, exactly as if you had built it by hand.

Project information and workflow tracking

Every project gets a home: scope, key details, files, status and what happens next. Workflow tracking shows you where things actually are rather than where you hope they are.

This is the section that quietly answers the question every service business asks itself on a Monday morning, which is “right, what is actually going on?”

Kai, across everything above

Kai can create and update any of it through conversation. Ask it to raise an invoice, draft a proposal, build a questionnaire, add a client or update a project, and it does. Ask it what needs attention and it tells you.

This is the feature that changes how the rest of the features feel. Everything above stops being a series of screens to navigate and becomes a set of things you can simply ask for.

what needs attention before Friday?

Two things. The Harbour Coffee proposal expires Thursday, and INV-0051 is six days overdue. I can chase both now.

A better alternative to spreadsheets and email. You keep your process. You just stop keeping it in six places.

If you currently run client admin on spreadsheets, email threads and a folder of documents, Kaizen replaces all three without asking you to change how you work.

Start with whichever part annoys you most. See pricing or book a walkthrough.

Feature questions

Kaizen includes client management, leads and lead forms, invoices, proposals, questionnaires, project information, business documents, internal records, workflow tracking, project updates and Kai, the AI assistant. Clients, leads, lead forms and up to 10 invoices a month are free; everything else is on Companion. It is designed as one system rather than a bundle of separate tools, so records connect to each other automatically.

Yes, Kaizen is designed specifically to replace spreadsheets and email threads for client admin, without forcing you to change your process. Spreadsheets fail because they hold data but no context, and email fails because information arrives in the order it was sent rather than the order you need it. Kaizen keeps every invoice, proposal, form and document attached to the client and project it belongs to, so finding something takes one search instead of a memory test.

Clients see their own portal: their invoices, contracts, projects and questionnaires, plus the accepted proposal. They never see drafts, your internal notes, your margins, or anything belonging to another client. An invoice appears only once it is sent and a contract only once it is out for signature.

Kaizen handles creating, sending and tracking invoices, but it is a business portal rather than a full accounting package, so most people keep their accounting tool for filing and reconciliation. The practical split is simple: Kaizen is where the invoice is created and chased, your accountant's software is where the year-end lives. If you are on Making Tax Digital, keep using your compatible accounting software for submissions.
