For IT consultancies & web agencies
From SOW to sign-off — one workspace, closed loop.
IT consultancies run parallel engagements across multiple clients. Each one demands coordination across chat, tasks, documents, time, and meetings — plus financial oversight, bench management, and a professional face for the client. KernelWork closes that loop with licensed modules across three layers: one license, one admin surface, one security story.

The problem
Tool sprawl is costing your consultancy more than the invoices show.
Fragmented context
Decisions live in chat, specs in document tools, tasks in project trackers, recordings in video platforms, and hours in time sheets. Connecting them requires manual effort no one has time for.
Duplicate administration
Five tools means five admin panels, five permission models, five onboarding flows — and five things to audit when a consultant changes roles or leaves.
Runaway per-seat costs
Each tool charges per seat. As your bench grows, the licensing overhead compounds — and clients often end up paying for seats they barely use.
Security exposure
Consumer video and chat apps carry data flows your security team never approved. Enterprise clients increasingly require you to document every subprocessor.
Context-switching tax
Moving between five apps per task is not a minor inconvenience — it is a measurable productivity drain on every billable hour your team works.
No financial visibility
Budget vs. actual is assembled at month-end from five export files. By the time an overrun is visible, the client conversation is already overdue.
Agency lifecycle
How consultancies run engagements in KernelWork.
KernelWork is structured around the three layers of a consultancy engagement — not around features. Every module connects to a real moment in the delivery lifecycle.
SOW signed. Kickoff.
Stand up a client workspace in minutes. Template channels for delivery, leadership, and escalation. Pin the project charter and statement of work where the whole team already communicates. Add client stakeholders as guests — scoped to their channels only, no access to other engagements.
Modules: Chat, Living Documentation
Execution layer — delivering the work.
Sprint boards live beside the daily stand-up channel. Architecture decisions land in Docs instead of email threads. Steering meetings and demos have join links in-thread — recordings land in storage you control, evidence for compliance and training for the next engagement.
Modules: Chat, Video Calls & Calendar, Agile Boards, Living Documentation
Governance layer — managing the business. In product
Engagements carry budget and member rates; time runs through approval; invoices generate from approved hours; burn, bench, and portfolio views stay in the same workspace as chat and boards. Branded steering PDFs, optional scheduled email delivery, SSO enforcement, and audit logging address how serious consultancies actually sell. The Secure Vault keeps credentials out of threads.
Modules: Financial Oversight, Resource Planning, Secure Asset Vault — plus steering reports & schedules
Transparency layer — the client experience. Expanding
Client portal and unified discovery are in the workspace today, scoped per engagement. Full white-label domain polish, deeper cross-module search, and the broader KernelAI vision continue to expand — ask sales what your tenant ships this quarter versus the north-star mocks on the platform page.
Modules: Client Portal, Unified Search, KernelAI (assist + roadmap)
UAT, handover, and sign-off.
Docs capture sign-off checklists and test plans. Agile boards show exactly what remains before handover. Approve time, generate invoices, export CSV where you need it, and publish steering PDFs (or let a schedule email them) so steering committees see the same numbers your team used operationally. The client portal surfaces curated artefacts — one platform from kickoff to sign-off.
