Why software consultants need this

Solutions-driven work deserves a CRM that moves as fast as you do

Digitalization work is in constant demand, and every consulting firm competing for it looks the same on paper. What sets you apart is how fast you respond, how organized your delivery is, and how little falls through the cracks between scoping and sign-off.

Inquiries don't wait for office hours

A prospect messaging at 9pm about a project shouldn't have to wait until morning. Zayda answers by email, WhatsApp and SMS the moment they reach out.

🗂

Every client, every project, one screen

Scoping calls, proposals, contracts, and delivery notes for every client live in one pipeline instead of scattered across inboxes and spreadsheets.

🤝

Small teams, full visibility

Built for lean consultancies and solo consultants who need the structure of a big firm's CRM without the setup overhead.

  • Email, WhatsApp and SMS go out instantly, then an AI call while the inquiry is still warm.
  • You set the tone, script and hand-off rules; the AI never goes off-script.
  • Zoom, Teams and Google Meet scoping calls are recorded and summarized automatically.

Less busywork

Zayda automates the follow-ups you keep meaning to send

Set the rules once. Zayda keeps every deal moving in the background, even on the days you're fully booked with delivery work.

  • New leads are auto-assigned to the right consultant based on tech stack or region.
  • Proposal follow-up reminders go out on their own until it's signed or declined.
  • A welcome email and onboarding checklist fire the moment a contract is signed.
  • Deals with no activity for a set number of days get flagged before they go cold.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What makes Zayda a software consulting CRM, not just a generic one?
A generic CRM tracks deals. A software consulting CRM has to understand engagement types, tech stacks, scoping calls and delivery timelines on top of that, and it has to catch a lead the moment they reach out, since that's usually when a consulting deal is won or lost. Zayda is built around that specific shape of work rather than a generic sales pipeline.
What actually happens the moment a lead reaches out?
Zayda fires off a reply on email, WhatsApp and SMS at the same time (averaging under 9 seconds), then places an AI follow-up call while the person is still thinking about your firm, not a competitor's.
How is this different from just using a generic CRM?
Most CRMs wait for you to open them. Zayda works while you're still on your last call: it answers new inquiries itself, keeps the consulting pipeline moving, and hands you a fully-briefed lead instead of a cold one.
Can I keep each client or service line on its own pipeline?
Yes. Spin up a separate pipeline per client, project, or service line, with its own stages, and see every one of them from a single dashboard.
We do both fixed-scope projects and ongoing retainers, can Zayda handle that mix?
It can. Tag each deal by engagement type, attach the products or services involved, and Zayda tracks the two side by side instead of forcing one sales process onto both.
Do we need a developer to set this up?
No, Zayda is built to run without technical onboarding, whether it's one consultant or a growing team using it.
Does a scoping call on Zoom, Teams or Meet get logged automatically?
Yes. The call is recorded and summarized against the deal on its own, so whoever picks up the thread next has the context without re-listening to anything.
What does Zayda connect to?
Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, WhatsApp, Zoom, Google Meet, Stripe and Zapier are all native. Anything else can go through the open API.
How is our client and project data handled?
It's encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-controlled, and it's never sold or used for advertising, by Zayda or anyone else.
