Solutions / Hermes

From first conversation
to final invoice paid.

Transcenda Hermes is the classic business CRM — pipelines, proposals, contracts, VAT-aware invoicing, expenses, a branded customer portal — deployed under your name. Built for businesses that close deals and bill them. Live at portal.transcenda.io.

What we replace

The deal-to-cash mess every growing business eventually has.

CRM here, invoicing there

A spreadsheet for the pipeline. A free invoicing tool. Expense receipts in a WhatsApp group. Proposals in Word. None of it adds up at month-end.

No paper trail per deal

Was the proposal sent? Did the client sign? Who is chasing the invoice? Nobody knows because it lives in five inboxes and three folders.

VAT + invoicing chaos

Half the invoices forget VAT. The other half use last year’s tax number. UAE FTA audits do not forgive that — and most generic CRMs do not enforce it.

Clients chasing for updates

No customer portal means every status update is a phone call. "Where is my invoice?" "What was in the proposal?" Three weeks later, the deal is cold.

Two halves of the same business

The deal you sell. The invoice you collect. Same record, same platform.

Most CRMs handle the sale and walk away. Most invoicing tools start where the sale ends. Hermes joins them — the deal becomes the invoice, the invoice becomes the cash, the customer record sees all of it.

Sales side
Lead → Won

Capture leads, qualify, propose, sign. The deal-making half.

  • Capture & qualify

    Web forms feed leads straight into your pipeline with the right tags, owner, and stage. Manual entry, CSV import and email-to-deal also supported.

  • Move deals through stages

    Drag-and-drop kanban, custom stages per pipeline, automatic activity timestamps, blocked-deal alerts when a deal sits too long without action.

  • Proposal → signature

    Branded proposal templates, dynamic pricing tables, accept / reject buttons. The client signs; the deal moves to "Won" automatically.

  • Closed-won

    Won deals can spawn an invoice, a project, an onboarding flow — your choice. Lost deals capture a structured reason for win-rate analysis.

Revenue side
Invoice → Paid

Issue, collect, track recurring revenue, see the real margin.

  • Issue + collect

    Generate VAT-aware invoices in AED or any currency, send branded PDFs, take payment online (Stripe), or log bank transfers and cash payments by hand.

  • Recurring revenue

    Subscriptions and retainers as recurring invoices: weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually. Auto-charge or auto-send by email — your call.

  • Expense tracking

    Capture every expense against the right client, project, or category. Mark billable and auto-roll into the next invoice.

  • Profit per project

    Revenue minus billable expenses minus team time = real margin per deal. The number most CRMs hide; we put it on the dashboard.

Inside the platform

Nine modules, one customer record, one bill at month-end.

Pipelines & deals

Drag-and-drop pipelines per business unit, custom stages, deal owners, weighted forecast, lost-reason tracking. Multiple pipelines for sales, services, partnerships.

Contacts & companies

Clients, vendors, prospects with custom fields, tags, company hierarchies, related people, full activity history. One source of truth per relationship.

Proposals & contracts

Branded proposal builder with line items, taxes, discounts, accept / reject buttons and e-signature. Templates per service line, version history per quote.

Invoices & payments

Issue invoices in AED or any currency, recurring billing, partial payments, late-payment reminders, Stripe / bank-transfer / cash. VAT-aware by default.

Expenses & receipts

Track expenses by category, attach receipt scans, allocate to clients or projects, mark billable, reconcile against payments. Owner cuts down spreadsheet time.

Activity log

Every call, email, meeting, note logged against the deal and contact. Filter by user, date, type — the answer to "what has happened with this client?" in one click.

Calendar & events

Team calendar with deal-linked meetings, follow-ups and reminders. Sync to Google / Microsoft / Apple, attach Zoom or Meet links automatically.

Reports & forecasting

Pipeline value, conversion by stage, win-rate per agent, revenue by month, expense by category, profit per project. Schedulable email reports for the leadership.

Customer portal

Clients log in to view their proposals, sign contracts, see invoices, pay online, raise discussions. Branded under your domain — they never see Transcenda.

UAE-aware by default

VAT-compliant invoicing, FTA-ready, PDPL-resident.

Generic CRMs give you a deal pipeline; FTA gives you a fine if your invoices skip VAT. Hermes does the boring compliance bit so you do not have to.

Standard / lawHow we comply
