Vyre / Compare / Practice software and CRM suites
Clio, Karbon and HubSpot.
Vyre with practice software.
Practice management and CRM suites are built for one job and do it well. Vyre does not replace them. It adds a working layer beside them, where people and agents do the intake, drafting, follow-up and review, with a yes before anything goes out.
Who each is for
Practice software and CRM suites
Clio is practice management for law firms. Karbon is practice management for accounting firms. HubSpot is a CRM with marketing and sales tools. Each is a hosted system built for its field.
They suit firms and teams that want one dependable record of clients, work and communication.
Vyre
Vyre is for a professional services team that wants agents doing real work around that record: first contact, document drafts, reminders and reviews.
It is industry-neutral. You shape the records, and starter Kits supply record types and Flows to begin from.

Where Vyre is different.
Six things Vyre does its own way.
A working layer, not a replacement
Vyre does not aim to replace your billing or your system of record. It holds the working records and the agent work around them.
Agents do the preparation
An agent can read a new enquiry, draft a reply from your price list or fill a document, and then stop for a person.
Documents from your templates
Your own Word templates are filled from a record and its linked records, and a model does not retype them. Signing needs no account for the signer.
Sends wait at the Gate
Anything that goes to a client, a payment or a deletion waits until a person has read the exact words and approved them.
Your server holds the working data
Records, files and the history of every decision stay on a server you own. Sealed fields keep the most sensitive values away from agents.
Shaped to your business
Define record types and fields in your own words, link them, and give each kind of work its own Playbook and Flows.
