Product
NovaDesk
The operations cockpit we built for Tensly: clients, projects, tasks, quotes, invoices, payments, expenses and email in one self-hosted application. It runs our business every day.
In production · Built and run by Tensly
One flow
From the first contact to the last payment.
Each step hands over to the next without re-entry. A quote accepted becomes a project and an invoice; a payment updates the finance view.
- Client
- Project
- Tasks
- Quote
- Invoice
- Payment
- Finance
CRM
Clients, contacts and a pipeline you can drag.
Companies and contacts in one place, opportunities on a configurable pipeline, and a 360° view of each client: projects, quotes, invoices, emails and documents.
- Drag-and-drop pipeline
- Configurable stages
- 360° client view
- Global search with Ctrl+K
Projects
A board for every project, and one for everything.
Projects with their own columns, tasks with checklists, comments, due dates and recurrence. Moving a card is instant; the server confirms behind it.
- Kanban per project
- Recurring tasks
- Global board and calendar
- Notifications
Quotes and invoices
From quote to invoice without re-typing.
A line editor with sections and discounts, visual document templates with a live preview, PDFs from the same renderer, and sending by email. A quote converts to an invoice and to a project.
- Visual template editor
- Deposits and credit notes
- Locked numbering once issued
- Payment tracking and reminders
Finance
Where the business stands, at a glance.
Revenue, cash collected, expenses, estimated result, VAT collected and deductible, ageing of unpaid invoices and revenue by client. A management dashboard — not a certified accounting system.
- Period filters
- Accessible chart tables
- Expense tracking
- VAT overview
Email and documents
Every exchange attached to the right client.
SMTP and IMAP configured from the interface with a connection test, incremental synchronisation, and incoming email attached automatically to the right company. Documents are stored and linked to clients, projects and invoices.
- SMTP and IMAP
- Automatic attachment
- Email templates
- Document storage
Everywhere
On the desk and in the pocket.
The interface adapts to desktop, tablet and phone. The boards stay usable on a touch screen, and the dashboard answers the first question of the day: where does the business stand?

The same standards we apply to client work: written decisions, server-side security, and a recovery procedure that has been tested.

White label
NovaDesk, under your brand.
NovaDesk was built to run our own operations. A white-label edition is planned for companies that want the same cockpit under their own name. Tell us about your needs and we will keep you informed.
