What computer software are you using at your agency to create and track project estimates and SOWs? I’m looking for a more streamlined way to generate and especially see all active project estimates and SOWs in one interface/dashboard.

Currently, we are using Google Sheets to generate estimates, SOWs and project workback schedules. And Harvest to track time against agency staffing fees.

I’m interested to know what others are using out there - thank you!

Who else started with small businesses and moved up to medium and large at agencies structured to handle it? I handle 40 clients and some 60 Content managers, ad managers, designers, developers, and a smattering of other positions.
