From the first prospect conversation through project delivery, client approval, billing, profitability and the next engagement—one connected consulting operating system. ClientPulse connects business development, engagements, meetings, commitments, deliverables, people, time, billing, forecasting and margin in one intelligent system built specifically for consultants.

Why ClientPulse is different

Most systems manage one fragment of the consulting business.

A CRM may help win the opportunity. A project-management tool may organize the tasks. A time system may record the hours. An accounting system may generate the invoice. ClientPulse connects them.

Prospect Engagement

The prospect becomes the engagement — history, meetings and documents carry forward.

Meeting Approved action

The meeting becomes approved action — proposed by AI, approved by a person.

Work Deliverable

The work becomes the deliverable — with its own acceptance and sign-off trail.

Approved time Invoice

The approved time becomes the invoice — recognized revenue without re-keying.

Project data Firm visibility

Project data becomes a clear view of progress, capacity, margin and client commitments.

Nothing important has to disappear between disconnected systems.

For independent consultants

Operate with the discipline of a larger consulting firm—without becoming a system administrator.

ClientPulse helps an independent consultant manage prospects, meetings, commitments, deliverables, time, expenses and billing while keeping complete attention on the client. You may be a one-person consulting practice — your clients should experience the organization, responsiveness and follow-through of a much larger firm.

For growing consulting firms

Know what is happening before it becomes a problem.

See which engagements are moving, which deliverables are waiting, who is overloaded, where the margin is changing and which client commitments require attention. As a firm grows, the founder can no longer remain the operating system — ClientPulse creates shared visibility, accountability and control without burying the firm beneath enterprise software.

Built around how consultants actually work

AI should never quietly rewrite your project plan

ClientPulse AI identifies possible tasks, risks, actions, milestones and deliverables from meetings—but a responsible person reviews and approves each proposal before it enters the engagement. AI assists the judgment. It does not replace it.

Project activity is not the same as project health

ClientPulse connects approved work, recognized revenue, incurred cost, project progress, outstanding cash and forecast margin—so consulting leaders can see both delivery performance and financial reality.

Meetings should create progress—not more administrative work

ClientPulse turns meeting notes and decisions into reviewable execution proposals, preserving the evidence, the approver and the connection to the original conversation.

Not another disconnected tool.

Traditional CRM

Helps manage the prospect — then loses visibility when the work begins.

Traditional project management

Tracks tasks — but often misses the relationship, financial reality and client commitments.

Traditional PSA

Offers extensive administration — but can bring enterprise cost and complexity.

ClientPulse Consulting

Connects acquisition, delivery, relationships and economics in one consulting-specific operating system.

Three practices, one system of record

Each practice gets its own pipeline, stages, fields, and cadences — while leadership sees the whole firm.

Procurement & Supply Chain

Spend analytics engagements, category strategy, supplier rationalization, RFx events, and cost-takeout programs.

  • Addressable spend & baseline
  • Category / commodity scope
  • Savings target vs. realized
  • Supplier & contract inventory
  • RFx milestones and award dates

Program & Project Management

PMO stand-ups, transformation programs, ERP and systems rollouts, staffing plans, and steering-committee cadence.

  • Workstreams & phase gates
  • RAID log (risks, actions, issues, decisions)
  • Consultant allocation & burn rate
  • Milestones vs. baseline schedule
  • Steering-committee readouts

Mergers & Acquisitions

Buy-side and sell-side diligence, synergy modeling, Day-1 readiness, TSA tracking, and post-merger integration.

  • Deal stage & diligence workstreams
  • Synergy targets by function
  • Data-room and request-list status
  • Day-1 / Day-100 readiness
  • TSA exit and integration milestones
New — CP Intelligence

From a LinkedIn profile to a validated, sendable engagement sequence

Paste a prospect's profile. Get researched intelligence, a four-email sequence, discovery questions and correctly ordered CRM tasks — with every client-result claim traced to evidence you are actually permitted to use externally.

1 · Profile in

Role, seniority, remit and public company signals read straight from the LinkedIn profile you paste.

2 · Intelligence

Business hypothesis, likely priorities, matched practice areas and the angle that earns a reply.

3 · Four emails

Initial plus three progressively shorter follow-ups, each with one distinct purpose, in a senior-advisor voice.

4 · Discovery questions

What to ask on the first call — framed as areas to explore, never as problems you assumed.

5 · CRM tasks in order

Research day 0, send or schedule day 1, discovery prep day 2. Research always before sending.

6 · Controlled sending

Approving saves a draft sequence. Nothing sends until you review the account, recipient and schedule and press start.

Confidentiality enforced structurally

Only proof points that pass your confidentiality ceiling and are cleared for external use can be referenced. Internal project prose never reaches the model, evidence is assembled on the server, and anything removed is shown as blocked internal content — excluded from the draft and from what is saved.

Verified delivery, on the client record

Scheduled, queued, sent, delivered, failed, bounced or cancelled — a step is only marked sent when the provider confirms acceptance, and a late bounce or complaint pauses every remaining step automatically.

From network to opportunity

Turn every connection into a measurable consulting opportunity

See how ClientPulse moves a relationship from first contact to a scoped, staffed and billable engagement — in 30 seconds.

Everything the practice runs on

The full ClientPulse platform, retuned for professional services.

Deal & opportunity pipeline

Full CRM pipelines with drag-to-advance stages — qualification, scoping, proposal, SOW, staffed, delivered. Weighted value and win/loss reason on every deal.

Enterprise account records

Built for $250M–$20B revenue clients: parent/subsidiary structure, multiple buying centers, procurement contacts, MSA and rate-card terms.

Consultant bench & staffing

Add professional staff by practice area, seniority, bill rate, certifications (CPSM, PMP, CFA, Six Sigma), and utilization target.

Internal + external video sessions

One-click working sessions between your team and the client's. Recordings are never stored — only the AI transcript recap lands on the account timeline.

AI meeting recaps & action items

Every call and video session becomes clean bullet notes, decisions, and owners — attached to the right account, deal, and workstream.

Sequenced outreach & nurture

Multi-step email sequences aimed at deals and opportunities: post-discovery follow-up, proposal chase, dormant-account revival, and quarterly executive check-ins.

Voice intake & dictation

Dictate a new account or a meeting debrief between flights; AI fills the fields and files the notes.

Booking & calendar sync

Client sponsors book discovery, working sessions, and steering committees against each consultant's real availability, two-way synced with Google Calendar.

Engagement document vault

NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, request lists, and readout decks stored per account with the full email thread beside them.

Practice dashboards

Open pipeline by practice, won this quarter, tasks due, overdue follow-ups, and consultant utilization at a glance.

Confidentiality by design

Row-level isolation per firm, no stored meeting video, SSO-friendly sign-in, and auditable communication history for deal work.
