Ignition + Agency Management Software: Why you need both

No. Ignition is designed to work alongside your project and task management tools. While agency management software supports delivery and internal operations, Ignition focuses on the client-facing experience—proposals, billing, payments, renewals, and revenue reporting.

Whether you use platforms like Streamtime, Workamajig, Bonsai, or Scoro or another tool, Ignition handles the front-end of your client engagement process, so your existing systems can focus on internal operations.

Some platforms offer basic functionality for proposals or invoicing, but it’s often manual or limited. Ignition offers advanced automation, templates, upsell features, payment scheduling, and upfront collection. It improves both your efficiency and client experience.

Ignition integrates directly with tools like QuickBooks Online, Xero,  and Slack. Through Zapier, you can also connect Ignition with over 7,000 apps—like ClickUp, Asana, Trello, Monday.com, Scoro, and Notion—to automate tasks across your proposals, billing, and project workflows. This gives you the flexibility to keep your current stack while streamlining how revenue flows through your agency.

Ignition helps agencies and service-based businesses manage proposals and engagement letters, automate billing, and collect payments securely. It streamlines workflows, ensuring you save time and get paid faster.
