Synergist runs your agency. Forge builds your client tools.
Synergist is the UK-rooted agency management platform - CRM, jobs, time, planning and financials in one internal system, priced per seat. Forge builds, brands, hosts and runs the custom client-facing tools your agency needs - portals and status pages - on your domain, for one flat monthly price.

Synergist is a solid agency PSA. Forge is the managed custom layer.
Synergist is a thoughtful, UK-rooted agency management system - CRM, opportunities, jobs, planning, billing, all in one place built specifically for the way independent agencies work. If you want the back-office side of the agency to live in one capable internal system and pay per seat, it does that job well.
Where it stops is custom, branded, client-facing tools shaped to exactly how you work. Synergist is something you operate and adapt to, and it's built for your team, not your clients. Most agencies still end up wanting a branded portal each client logs into, or a status page shaped to their process - without building or hosting it. Forge builds those custom client tools around your agency, runs every piece of the infrastructure, and charges one flat fee instead of per seat.
Built for agency owners, not builders.
Opinionated presets, not a blank canvas
You don't want to describe an app from scratch - you want the right one. Forge gives you a catalog of agency tools (client portals, status pages, time tracking), set up by answering a few plain questions.
Fully managed - zero tech tax
Hosting, database, domains, secrets, updates - all on infrastructure we own and run, that your clients never see. You never connect a service, watch a meter, or redeploy anything.
Built for your whole client roster
Forge is designed around the agency-to-client relationship: a separate, branded, separately-tracked tool for each client - not one app at a time.
It gets better after launch
Every tool ships with usage analytics you can share with clients to prove value, and a feedback channel that quietly improves it - without you lifting a finger.
Flat, predictable pricing
One monthly subscription covers the AI and the hosting. No credits to burn, no usage meter to watch, simple to expense.
Improves for everyone, automatically
Because tools are built from structured presets, feedback from one agency improves the preset for all of them. The whole catalog gets better over time.
