For agencies

Built for the way software agencies actually work.

Development agencies aren't factories — but they still need operational discipline. Every project involves people, scope, time, budget, approvals, and financial outcomes. Kovalyn keeps those pieces connected.

Use cases

One platform. Many agency shapes.

Project-based agencies

Track fixed-bid projects from estimate to delivery. Monitor scope creep, internal cost, milestone progress, and invoice status — all linked.

Retainer-based agencies

Track monthly retainers, consumed hours, rollover rules, overages, client requests, and profitability per contract.

Contractor-heavy agencies

Manage external contributors, cost rates vs billable rates, project assignments, and payment status without spreadsheets.

Hybrid agencies

Support a mix of fixed-price projects, hourly work, retainers, maintenance plans, and support contracts in one workspace.

Growing freelancers

Move from spreadsheets and memory into a real operational system before the business becomes chaotic.

Boutique product studios

Run client work and internal product development on the same operational record, without sacrificing visibility on either.

Pain points we hear

Sound familiar?

"We use too many disconnected tools."

"We don't know which projects are actually profitable."

"Retainers are hard to track against actual hours used."

"Scope creep eats margin before anyone notices."

"Client approvals get buried in email."

"Contractor hours and costs are difficult to reconcile."

"Enterprise ERP tools are too expensive and too generic."

"Closed SaaS platforms don't fit how our agency actually works."
