compare · practice management

a module the bd manager opens, or a crm the whole firm does.

Deltek, BQE Core, Monograph and Rapport3 run the project after it’s won: timesheets, invoicing, resourcing. Their CRM modules are built to feed that, and some are strong on proposals. tiny+ is built to be opened every day by everyone who wins work — and to hand the job to practice management once it is.

daily use

the module nobody opens, or the feed everybody does.

A CRM module inside a finance suite is opened by the person whose job it is. Everyone else learns about a client from the corridor. tiny+ is the other way round: the news feed is where the firm finds out a client moved jobs, a job was won, a builder put you forward — and the CRM fills itself in from it.

The pipeline, the plans and the reports sit on top of that feed, which is why directors read them.

capture and ai

the relationships fill themselves in.

Practice management knows the hours on a job. It doesn’t know that Priya has been writing to the client every fortnight, or that nobody has emailed Northside Clinic since July. tiny+ reads your mail headers — never the subject or the body — and keeps Known by and last contact true for everyone.

Ask it a question in plain English and it answers from your account; connect the assistant you already use and it does the same.

not practice management

tiny+ isn’t practice management, and doesn’t try to be.

No timesheets, no invoicing, no resourcing. tiny+ stops at the job being won and hands it over: with Synergy the hand-over is automatic, both ways, with the job number coming back. With the others, the project is set up in the suite once, as it always was.

Run the suite for the job. Run tiny+ for the firm.
