IDup gives consultants one platform for clients, engagements, time, expenses, invoicing and documents — so utilisation and cash stop depending on how good your memory was last Friday.
Consulting income is a function of two numbers: hours delivered and hours invoiced. The difference between them is pure loss, and it is created almost entirely by administration — time logged from memory days later, expenses never claimed, engagements that drift past their agreed scope, and invoices that go out late because writing them is nobody’s favourite task.
IDup closes that gap. Log time against a client and engagement as you work, on desktop or phone. Capture expenses at the moment they occur. Turn any period into an itemised invoice in one click with a pay-now button, and let reminders handle the chasing. Every proposal, contract, deliverable and conversation stays attached to the client record.
Clients, proposals, engagements, time, expenses, invoicing and documents in one platform instead of a time tracker, a CRM, a folder structure and an accounting package.
One record per client means the proposal, the signed contract, the delivered work and the invoice all reference each other — which is what makes scope conversations short.
Utilisation, active engagements, pipeline and unpaid invoices on one screen.
Log time, approve and respond from a client’s office, a train or an airport.
Photograph travel and expense receipts and the AI books them to the right engagement, so reimbursables are complete without an end-of-month reconstruction.
Ask IDup AI which engagements are over budget, what a client has been invoiced this year or what a proposal promised — in plain language.
Receipts, documents and drafts handled automatically, with you confirming what matters.
Recurring retainers, reminders and follow-ups run themselves.
A proposal becomes an engagement, tracked hours and expenses become an invoice, and the payment books itself — without re-entry and without unbilled work.
Because everything references the same signed proposal, an engagement that grows is visible as it grows rather than discovered when the margin has already gone.
Client data and documents encrypted on secure servers worldwide, with granular permissions.
From a solo consultant to a partnership or a team, with roles per person.
Log hours against client and engagement as you work, then turn any period into an itemised invoice in one click — no reconstruction, no forgotten sessions.
Photograph travel, accommodation and subsistence receipts on the spot; the AI books them to the engagement so nothing is claimed late or not at all.
Hours and costs measured against the agreed fee while the work is running, so a fixed-price engagement can still be steered.
Send proposals and contracts from the platform, keep the signed version attached to the client, and start the engagement from it without re-entering terms.
IDup automates the routine — time-to-invoice, expenses, reminders, filing — so your week contains more of the work clients pay for.
For a consultant, administration competes directly with revenue: it is the same finite pool of hours. Every hour recovered is either an hour billed or an hour not worked at the weekend.
It also improves what you charge. When the record of delivered work is complete and itemised, invoicing what you actually did stops being an uncomfortable conversation.
Utilisation, engagement margin, pipeline and unpaid invoices — clearly in one place, on desktop and mobile.
You know how much of your capacity is sold, which engagements are running hot, which client is slow to pay and whether next quarter is booked — the four numbers that decide whether consulting is comfortable or precarious.
Every figure links to the hours, expenses and documents behind it, so a client question ends in a record rather than a discussion.
Almost every consultant loses a meaningful share of income in the same invisible place: work that was done but never captured. The call that ran forty minutes over. The review done on a Sunday. The document produced between two engagements. The expense that was never submitted.
None of it is deliberate. It happens because capture is separated in time from delivery, and by the time the invoice is written the details have blurred into a rough estimate that always rounds downward.
IDup removes the delay. Time and expenses are captured where and when the work happens, in seconds, from a phone. What appears on the invoice is what actually took place — which usually raises the realised rate more than any price increase you could comfortably ask for.
You don’t pay extra for the rest of the platform. The same login gives you accounting with AI receipt capture, invoicing and online payments, tax filing, annual statements and financial reports, a full CRM with leads, estimates and contracts, projects, tickets, a client portal, employee and payroll management, permissions and multi-tenant workspaces.
It also gives you the growth layer: IDup AI as an assistant, an AI chatbot for your website, automated workflows, a social media agent, marketing campaigns and a shared inbox for WhatsApp, SMS, email and social.
So business development, delivery and finance run on one client record — in 27 languages, in 20 currencies, GDPR-compliant, on secure servers worldwide, on desktop and in the mobile app.
