Business software suite for agencies
Lyto is one software suite for agencies. It puts a client pipeline, project boards, time tracking, invoicing, a support inbox and reporting behind one login. It starts at €10 per seat per month, billed annually. A won client becomes a project, and the tracked hours become the invoice. The agency pays for one suite and keeps one client record.

|---|---|---|
| Lead → project → invoice | One connected flow. The client exists once, from pitch to payment | Typed in again at each hand-off between four tools |
| Billable hours | Tracked in Tally against the project, invoiced in Sum from the same data | Timesheet exported and typed into the accounting tool |
| Client support | Solve tickets sit next to the projects you run for that client | A separate shared inbox with no link to the work |
| Utilisation and margin | Pulse reads across projects, time and invoices in one place | A month-end spreadsheet built from four exports |
| Cost for a 6-person agency | €114 / month billed annually. All seven apps, one bill | Four per-seat subscriptions, each billed separately |

Which tools does an agency usually run?
An agency has four main jobs: winning work, delivering it, tracking the time it took and billing for it. The default answer is four tools. A CRM handles new business, a project app handles delivery, a time tracker records the hours and an invoicing or accounting tool handles the money. Each works fine alone. Together they cost your team hours spent moving the same client between them.
A won pitch gets typed into the project tool again. The project’s hours get exported and typed in again to bill them. Support emails sit in a fifth place, with no link to the rest. At month end, checking whether a client was profitable means matching four exports in a spreadsheet.
How does Lyto connect the four jobs?
Lyto puts those jobs in one login, built around a single client record:
- Pipeline tracks the new-business lead and turns it into a client.
- Workstream runs the delivery, with tasks and projects for that client.
- Tally captures billable hours against the project.
- Sum bills retainers, time and materials, and milestones from those hours.
- Solve handles the client’s support, next to their projects.
- Pulse reads across all of it, so utilisation and margin are in one view.
The client exists once. The pitch you won is the project you deliver, and its hours appear on the invoice you send. Nobody types the client in twice, and the systems hold the same data.
Where might an agency want more?
Each Lyto app covers the common work in its category. Some agencies run a full-time new-business team. Others plan resources across dozens of people, or depend on one integration ecosystem. Those agencies will find the apps too limited. Lyto fits shops of one to ten people, and up to twenty on Grow. For them, Lyto means fewer tools to set up, fewer records to keep in sync and one bill.
What changes in a normal week?
A new client signs in Pipeline on Monday. The project opens in Workstream with the same client attached. Through the week, the team logs hours in Tally against that project. When the client emails a question, it opens in Solve next to the project. At month end, Sum turns the hours into the invoice. Pulse then shows the margin on that client.
What does it cost a six-person agency?
Six seats sit on Grow at €19 each, billed annually. That is €114 per month for all seven apps on one bill. The 14-day trial needs no card, and cancelling is one click inside the app.
Questions people ask
What software does a small agency need?
A small agency wins work, delivers it, tracks the hours and bills for them. That usually means a CRM, a project tool, a time tracker and an invoicing app. Lyto puts all four in one login, plus a support inbox and reporting. It starts at €10 per seat per month, billed annually. The client record stays the same from pitch to payment.
How does Lyto connect time tracking to invoicing?
Hours are logged in Tally against a project and its client. At billing time, Sum raises the invoice from that tracked time. Nobody exports a timesheet or types the hours in again. Both apps share one customer record, so you invoice the same client you ran the project for. Pulse shows the margin.
Is Lyto a fit for an agency bigger than ten people?
Lyto is built for teams of one to ten people, and Grow covers up to twenty seats. A small or mid-sized agency fits. A large agency may need a dedicated new-business team, complex resourcing or many integrations. That agency will likely outgrow the Lyto apps, which keep to the common work.
