kofel Studio: the beta is open
We built kofel Studio to run our own studio: ERP, CRM, projects, and time tracking with an AI co-pilot. It works, so we're opening the beta and looking for a few like-minded teams to grow it with us.
Here’s the honest version: we didn’t set out to sell software. We set out to run our own studio without five browser tabs and a spreadsheet holding it together. So we built the tool we wanted, kofel Studio, and we’ve been running the whole place on it for months.
It works. We keep our projects, time, leads, quotes, and invoices in it every day, and the AI co-pilot actually reads that data instead of the internet. Because it’s the thing we depend on, we look after it like our own home, not a product we ship and forget.
That’s exactly why we’re opening it up. kofel Studio is in open beta, and we’re looking for a few like-minded teams to grow it with us.
We’re not chasing a thousand signups. We’d rather welcome a handful of studios, agencies, and small teams whose work rhymes with ours. Projects, clients, hours, invoices. They land in the same CRM we use, and we build the thing together. You get a tool that’s already load-bearing; we get people who’ll tell us where it bends. When you ask for something, you’re not filing a ticket into the void. You’re shaping software the makers use themselves.
What’s in it today:
- Projects & Kanban: budget, timeline, and tracked hours per project; a board that moves tasks from backlog to done.
- Time tracking without pressure: start a timer or log it later, marked billable and billed, per person and project. No silent surveillance.
- Leads → quotes → invoices: a pipeline with value and probability; a won lead becomes a quote, an approved quote becomes an invoice.
- CRM that remembers: customers, contacts, meeting notes, and files in one place.
- Finances in view: expenses, balance report, and per-project profitability.
- A co-pilot that read your data: it answers from your projects, invoices, and notes, not from the web.
It’s still a beta. Some edges are rough, and we’d rather you find them with us than after launch. Everything is EU-hosted.
If that sounds like your kind of place, come build it with us.
