  • Change requests were built before they were priced.
  • AMC renewals were remembered at the last minute.

How work moves through MSMEPulse, from the first enquiry to payment.

How they set up MSMEPulse

  • Chose IT Services & Software at signup, with templates for software development, mobile apps, ERP implementation, AMC and managed IT services.
  • Wrote milestones with clear acceptance steps, and invoiced on acceptance.
  • Logged support requests in the support desk against each AMC client.

The templates for IT Services & Software in MSMEPulse: Website design and build, Software development (fixed price), Annual maintenance (AMC), Mobile app development, ERP implementation, Managed IT services (monthly), Security assessment (VAPT).

A typical month

Projects move through requirements sign-off, build, UAT and go-live, with the sign-off documents on the client checklist. Each accepted milestone becomes an invoice the same day; overseas clients are invoiced as exports under the company's LUT. Support tickets are logged against AMC clients, and renewal tasks appear ahead of each contract's expiry.

What changes

  • Milestones are billed on acceptance.
  • Changes are priced before they're built.
  • AMC renewals are raised in good time.
