The Problem

Vague Email Briefs Paralyze Agency Velocity

Clients mean well, but an email saying "Please update the homepage hero image ASAP" is missing crucial specs: which format, what dimensions, which target headline, and who approved it. Project managers waste hours exchanging emails just to clarify requirements before work can start.

× Missing dimensions, asset files, and target deadlines
× Multiple client stakeholders sending conflicting revisions
× No audit trail of when the request was originally submitted
The CRDPay Solution

Standardized Intake That Enforces Quality Briefs

With CRDPay, every incoming request arrives through a standardized intake form. Required fields ensure clients attach the right assets and explain their goals before hitting submit.

✓ Custom required fields prevent incomplete submissions
✓ One-click conversion to Kanban tasks with attached briefs
✓ Clients track live status in their portal without sending follow-up emails

One-Click Task Conversion

Convert Client Briefs Straight to Sprint Tasks

Out-of-Scope Protection

Scope Creep Protection & Change Order Flagging

When a client submits an intake request that exceeds their contracted retainer hours, project managers can flag the request as "Out of Scope" with a single click, preparing a formal change order before any work begins.

Scope Check Triggered → Billable Change Order Flagged
