For agencies and consultancies

Give client commitments a realistic place in your team's day.

Briefs, approvals, revisions and new requests arrive from every direction. Zaphiri keeps client work in one shared place, gives each piece an owner, and helps each person fit their share into the hours they actually have.

Where the work breaks today

Familiar? You are not alone.

Every client is the priority

Account leads promise dates before anyone checks who has the time to deliver them.

Approvals stall in someone's inbox

Work waits on feedback nobody is tracking, then lands on the team all at once.

Creative work gets the leftover hours

Concepts and writing get squeezed between status calls and quick changes.

From shared work to a realistic day

One flow, from the team board to each person's day.

  1. Step 1:Each client gets a Team Project

    Briefs, deliverables and approvals on one board, started from a reusable delivery template.

  2. Step 2:Every deliverable has one owner

    A named owner and a date for each piece, visible to the whole team in Team Today.

  3. Step 3:Each person plans a real day

    Their share of client work sits beside their own tasks, placed in their Best Hours.

  4. Step 4:Learn before the next quote

    Planned versus actual, week by week, shows where estimates slip before you price the next job.

Best Hours, in practice

Hard thinking goes where the energy is.

Calendar events land in Today as the non-negotiables. The work that needs real thinking is marked as deep work and comes first, then the rest of the tasks fit around it.

What fits today, and what needs discovery

Clear boundaries, before you commit.

Zaphiri coordinates the work and each person's day. It is not a resourcing, timesheet or billing system, and it can sit beside the ones you have.

Included in setup

Configure

Delivery templates for briefs, reviews and approvals. Your own terms for clients and jobs. Roles for account, delivery and leadership.

Scoped separately

Connect

Calendars and sign-in. Other tools you already rely on are scoped in discovery, with an owner for each connection.

Assessed and quoted

Extend

Client-facing portals, external collaborator access and billing workflows are assessed separately before they are promised.

Operating and control

Zaphiri Cloud, or your own Zaphiri.

Teams can start today on a Team plan. When your organisation needs its own environment, we scope a private pilot with you, hosted in a region set out in your proposal, and your IT or operations lead can review sign-in, access, data handling and exit before anyone moves real work in.

  • A private pilot if you need one. Your own environment and address, scoped with you before anything is agreed.
  • Roles you define. Who can see and change each Team Project is set per team.
  • Demonstrated, not promised. We show the controls in a working session before any pilot starts.
  • A clear exit. Export your work and leave on agreed terms.

Start with one client team.

Pick one account or delivery team of 10 to 20 people and one workflow. We will set it up and agree what success looks like before you begin.
