Use cases / Services

Sonaris for agencies, studios and practices

You do work for clients and bill by project, retainer or session. Sonaris keeps the enquiry, the project, the contract, the invoice and the client's guest seat on one record, so nothing is typed twice.

Start with CRM, add two more when you need them

Most services businesses start with the client record. Every other module attaches to it.

CRM · FormsAn enquiry becomes a client

A brief on your site or a booking page creates the contact and the deal, tagged by source, with the answers attached.

Projects · ProfilesThe work starts

When the deal is won, a project opens from your template and the client joins as a free guest to see their files and tasks.

Commerce · PaymentsThe contract and invoice follow

The milestone contract and the invoices come from the deal value, on the same record as the project.

Three flows that run themselves

Each one is a trigger and a few actions in Flows, working on the same record as everything else.

FlowDeal won

Open the project from a template, issue the contract, invite the client as a guest.

FlowMilestone delivered

Send the files, issue the next invoice, post to the project room.

FlowGone quiet

A deal with no reply for a week gets a follow-up task for its owner.

How seven services businesses run on Sonaris

Each story starts with one module, adds more and ends up connected by Flows. The businesses are fictional; the system is the one you get.

Also works for: Illustrators and graphic designers, who sell from a shop and take commissions, so their story sits under Products.

Growing into a group

Agencies with several offices or brands run a workspace each, isolated at the database level, with role-based permissions on every module and people who work across them joining each one.

What it replaces

One login, one invoice and one customer record instead of a tool per job.

Worked example A six-person agency $120 a month

Six seats. Twelve clients invited as free guests to their projects, chat rooms and files. One public site, two shared inboxes. Guests never need a seat, so the price grows with your team, not your client list.
