Everything it does, without dancing around it

The long page: every module with the things you actually do inside it. If an item isn't written here, it probably isn't in the product.

Clients and records

Where everything else starts from: who they are, how they're invoiced, what you've done for them.

  • VAT number and tax code checked as you type, not afterwards
  • Certified email and recipient code for Italian e-invoicing
  • Billing address kept separate from the correspondence one
  • One client page: projects, hours, quotes, invoices, documents and notes on a single screen
  • Internal notes that never leave the app
  • Connect a mailbox and the correspondence with a client gathers on their page
  • Export and deletion of a client's data when they ask for it

Projects, milestones and tasks

The work broken into pieces you can see, assign and show to the client.

  • Projects with an hours or fixed-fee budget, status and estimated delivery date
  • Milestones with progress, shown in the client portal only if you say so
  • Tasks on a drag-and-drop board, assignable to collaborators
  • A warning on projects at risk: the ones overrunning budget or deadline
  • Progress stages with the share to invoice at each one
  • Project files in one folder, on Google Drive too
  • Links to the live environments — production, staging — with their status
  • Closing archive: a project ends without anything being deleted

Hours and timers

Time measured as it passes, not reconstructed from memory a month later.

  • Timer on the server clock, or manual entry in quarter-hours
  • Billable and non-billable hours, with a rate per project or per person
  • Hours today, by client, by project, by person, by period
  • The list of hours not yet invoiced, ready to move into an invoice
  • Report as CSV, as a PDF on your letterhead, or saved to Drive
  • Every correction stays in the activity log, with a name and a time

Hour packs and recurring items

For work sold as prepaid hours or on a retainer, where the balance has to be visible.

  • Prepaid packs whose balance drops with every hour logged
  • A warning when a pack is about to run out, before it does
  • What happens at zero is your call: block, or allow the overrun
  • The client sees the balance from their portal, without asking you
  • Recurring invoices that go out on their own, in your numbering
  • Subscriptions and fixed costs kept next to the recurring income

Quotes

From quote to acceptance without PDFs bouncing around by email.

  • Quotes in phases, with amounts, discounts, validity and terms
  • A public link: the client opens it, gets a code by email and accepts online
  • You know if it was opened, when, and how many times
  • Acceptance creates the project, the milestones and the deposit invoice by itself
  • Reminders for those who haven't replied and for quotes about to expire
  • A list of quotes never opened: the ones lost to spam are obvious
  • Conversion rate: how many you send, how many you close

Document builder

The long proposal, the one you send to the clients that matter, written inside Gestio.

  • Block editor: cover, goals, approach, phases, pricing, terms
  • A draft written by AI from a few lines of brief, then fixed by you
  • Export to PDF and DOCX on your own letterhead
  • PDF preview inside the page, on a phone too
  • Saved straight to Google Drive, in the client's folder
  • From document to a real quote in one step, without retyping the amounts

Invoices and payments

Issuing, sending, and a status that updates itself when the payment lands.

  • Invoices flat, from logged hours or from a pack, with automatic numbering
  • Deposits, balances and credit notes
  • Status driven by recorded payments: issued, partial, paid, overdue
  • Sent to the client with the PDF attached and the portal link
  • Reminders for overdue invoices, counting the days late
  • Import of the Italian XML e-invoice: the fields fill themselves in
  • Summaries by period, by client and by status

Expenses, costs and banking

The other half of the accounts: what goes out, and what a project really cost.

  • Expenses with category, supplier and the project they belong to
  • A receipt read from a photo: amount, date and supplier already filled in
  • Recurring subscriptions with a renewal reminder
  • Bank movements imported and matched to invoices and expenses
  • Collected, outstanding, and the trend against the same period last year
  • Cost per project: the real margin, not the estimated one

Italian flat-rate tax

The part usually discovered in March, kept in sight all year.

  • Substitute tax and contributions computed on money actually collected, not invoiced
  • Profitability coefficient tied to your ATECO code
  • The exit threshold watched, with a warning as you approach it
  • A calendar of deadlines, with advances and balances
  • How much to set aside, updated month by month
  • No rate hard-coded: they're settings, because they change

Calendar and reminders

Appointments and deadlines in the same place as the things to do.

  • Appointments, deadlines and project milestones in one calendar
  • Two-way sync with Google Calendar
  • Tax deadlines and milestones land in the calendar on their own
  • In-app and email notifications, chosen one by one
  • Italian times even on re-reading, no timezone surprises

Communications

What you write to clients, and how it arrives.

  • Chat with the client inside the portal, with an email notification when they write
  • Emails from your own address, from your own mailbox: they really come from you
  • Header, signature and logo with a preview before sending, plus a test send to yourself
  • Product news and announcements inside the app, no newsletter
  • Incoming requests from the marketplace and contact forms, in one queue

Integrations

The tools you already use, connected without copying files from one side to the other.

  • Google Drive: documents and project files, in the right folder
  • Google Calendar: the calendar, both ways
  • Slack: alerts where you're already looking
  • GitHub and Railway: repositories and deploy status for the projects that live online
  • Notion: notes linked to the project
  • A read-only mailbox: client correspondence on their page
  • Bank account: movements waiting to be matched
  • Every connection is revoked with one click, and tokens are stored encrypted

Access, data and security

Who sees what, who did what, and how you take it all away.

  • Multi-organisation: one organisation's data is invisible from another
  • Separate roles for owner, admin, collaborator and client
  • Two-step verification on sign-in
  • Activity log: who did what, and when
  • Full export of your data, whenever you want
  • Account deletion without having to ask anyone
  • Installs as an app on your phone, no store involved
