Ardovo gives IT firms a services pipeline, quote and SOW tracking, and Rook to follow up on proposals and nurture accounts, so more projects close and more clients move to recurring engagements.

What IT services firms teams need from a CRM

Project and recurring pipeline

Track project and recurring-contract opportunities so both one-time and recurring revenue are managed.

Quote and SOW tracking

Keep every quote and statement of work visible so deals do not stall on paperwork.

Account expansion

Surface clients ready to expand into managed services and recurring contracts.

Rook follows up

Rook chases outstanding proposals and nurtures accounts so nothing goes cold.

The project-to-recurring path

The most valuable IT clients start with a project and grow into recurring managed services. Firms that do not track and pursue that path leave predictable revenue unclaimed.

  • Proposals stall without follow-up
  • Recurring expansion not pursued
  • Accounts not nurtured between projects
