Agency Work OS

Definition: A workspace tailored to digital agencies — client projects, time tracking, deliverables, and guest access for clients.

What it is

An agency work OS is a workspace pattern optimized for client-services businesses (digital agencies, consultancies, design studios). The defining requirements: per-client project structure, free or low-cost guest seats for client access, deliverable approval workflows, and a CRM that handles both prospects and active clients.

Why it matters

Agencies have unique workspace needs — they live in client folders, not departments — and most horizontal SaaS isn't designed for that pattern.
