The subscriptions cost £705. The real waste comes afterwards.
Here's what a 20-person agency pays to manage client work:
→ PandaDoc for proposals: £49/month
→ Monday.com for projects: £380/month (£19 × 20 seats)
→ Harvest for time tracking: £240/month (£12 × 20 seats)
→ Xero for invoicing: £36/month
→ Google Sheets for forecasting: free but nobody updates it
Total: £705/month across 5 disconnected tools.
But the real cost isn't the subscriptions.
It's the 3 hours your PM spends recreating the SOW scope in Monday.
It's the invoice that doesn't match the SOW rate because someone typed £85 instead of £95.
It's the revenue forecast that's 6 weeks out of date because updating a spreadsheet isn't anyone's job.
The SOW says one thing.
The project tracker says another.
The invoice says a third.
The forecast says nothing.
I spent 20 years watching this happen in enterprise ERP.
Then I built something about it.
More soon.
