Streamtime is a system you adopt. Forge builds the tool you need and looks after it.
Streamtime covers jobs, time, quoting and invoicing in one internal system you configure and pay for per seat. Forge is a different kind of answer. Instead of migrating to another platform, we build custom software for people businesses - agencies, accountants, lawyers, consultants, recruiters - around the apps you already use, and look after it on a monthly plan: client onboarding, reporting, portals, syncs, time and margin tracking.
Nothing technical on your side · we build it and look after it · runs on your own accountsForge isn’t another tool to configure. We build the tool you actually need and look after it.
Streamtime is a platform. Forge is a service.
Streamtime is a capable system for running jobs, time, quoting and invoicing. If you're ready for the rollout and have someone to own it, it can be the right call - and if you already run it happily, keep it; we can build around it.
But many agencies don't need a new system of record - they need the manual work gone. Forge finds where your team's hours go, then builds the custom tools that give them back, then looks after them on a monthly plan. It all runs on your own accounts, so you own it - and nothing technical lands on your team.
A team that does the work, not another tool.
We build it - you don't configure anything
You don't buy a tool and then spend weeks setting it up. We find the manual work slowing your team down, then design, build and test the tools that give those hours back. Nothing technical on your side.
We look after it, too
It runs on your own accounts, so you own it. We monitor it, fix it when a connected tool changes and update it when your process changes - all part of your run plan. Nobody in your firm becomes the part-time admin.
Works with the tools you already have
ClickUp, Trello, Google Sheets, Slack, your CRM, your invoicing tool. We build the links between them, so your team keeps working where it works today - no migration project.
Made for how you actually work
Client onboarding, reporting, branded client portals and status pages, time and margin tracking, AI assistants for the team - built around your clients, your process and your terminology. AI drafts, people decide.
Published pricing, no per-seat fees
A run plan from $2,000 a month (Starter, Growth or Embedded) with your first build included, 3-month minimum, AI usage at cost. Your price doesn't climb as your team grows.
Starts with a 2-week ops audit
We map where your team's hours go and put a number on it, then recommend what to build first. The $2,500 audit is credited to your first month.
