Corcava

Corcava is designed as an operating system for agencies and billable teams, consolidating multiple business functions into one platform. It allows teams to manage the entire client lifecycle, starting from initial sales outreach and lead tracking through project delivery, time logging, and final invoicing. The system is built around a single client record, which holds data across CRM, projects, tracked time, and billing.

For consultants and digital agencies, the platform aims to replace the need for separate tools for CRM, project management, time tracking, and invoicing. Workflows are structured to guide users from an accepted estimate to project completion, allowing users to track recorded effort separately from fixed fees. The platform supports sales and outreach pipelines, project boards, and detailed time tracking, which feeds directly into draft and final invoices.

Key operational areas covered by Corcava include Sales & Outreach (CRM pipeline, deal tracking), Delivery & Time (projects, boards, time tracking, Upwork sync), and Billing & Client Access (invoicing, online payments, client portal, and profitability tracking). The system also includes features like chatbots and videoconferencing tools to support client interactions throughout the delivery cycle.

• Consultants who track billable hours and generate invoices.
• Teams requiring a single source of truth for client records and project status.
• Solopreneurs looking to consolidate CRM, PM, and billing into one subscription.
