Most agencies have three or four workflows that don’t fit any off-the-shelf SaaS.

You patch them together with Notion docs, Google Sheets, a DocuSign link, an email template, and a lot of copy-paste. It works — until it doesn’t.

Internal tools used to be a six-figure decision. Hire engineers, scope a sprint, wait three months. With Lovable, a non-technical founder with a clear sense of the workflow can ship a real, production-quality internal app — auth, database, emails, AI, custom domain — in a focused week.

We built one: an internal proposal builder for the agency. It replaced a stack of disconnected docs with a single branded surface where the team creates, shares, e-signs, and tracks client proposals. This SOP walks through the exact process — from deciding whether to build to shipping something your team actually uses.
