Safer customer records

Archive old records, merge duplicates, record consent, honor unsubscribes, and confirm an existing business relationship before sending CRM email.

Scheduling plus relationships

Every booking can become useful customer context

A client record should not be a disconnected address-book entry. Scheduling Studio brings meeting activity and CRM work together, so the next conversation starts with context.

  1. 1

    Clients are organized in one workspace

    Search by name, email, company, or tag and filter active, inactive, lead, archived, and favorite records.

  2. 2

    History updates around customer activity

    Review scheduling and communication events without assembling the story across several tools.

  3. 3

    Follow-ups keep the relationship moving

    Create the next task while the conversation is fresh, then work from one upcoming-actions view.

Clear answers

Free CRM questions

Is the Scheduling Studio CRM really free?expand_more

Yes. Core client management, history, notes, follow-ups, pipeline tracking, CSV tools, archive and merge, and consent controls are included in the Free plan. Invoicing is separate.

Does it work for businesses that already have customers?expand_more

Yes. Download the CRM CSV template, keep its header row, add your customer information, and import the file into Scheduling Studio.

How does the Follow-up & Revenue Radar work?expand_more

The Radar continuously analyzes your bookings, signed agreements, phone leads, and invoices. It automatically highlights stalled proposals, uncontacted callers, and no-shows with pre-drafted 1-click messages so opportunities never slip through the cracks.

Can I generate agreements and invoices directly from a CRM deal?expand_more

Yes. When viewing any CRM client or deal, you can click Prepare Agreement to pre-populate custom templates (like Service Agreements, Proposals, or Estimates) with the deal value and client details. When the client signs, the CRM deal automatically advances to Won and creates the initial deposit invoice.

What happens if I stop the invoicing trial?expand_more

The free CRM remains available. Existing invoices and payment history remain visible, but creating or sending new invoices requires an eligible paid plan after the trial ends.
