Short answer. A separate-tool stack can work well when responsibilities and integrations are maintained. Flotick offers a connected CRM and delivery workflow; test whether that removes coordination your agency currently repeats.
What should stay in a spreadsheet?
Keep useful specialist calculations and simple registers where they serve the team. A new product is worth testing when repeated entry, missing owners, or unclear client context create work you can identify.
What should the pilot prove?
Bring one active engagement through lead, client, project, shared document, and update. Check that the next person can find the context without reconstructing several tools. Include retained payment and accounting services in the cost comparison.
