01.01

Retainers & projects

Keep the client, creative fee, owner and dates together, whether the work repeats every month or wraps on a deadline.

  • Recurring retainers and fixed-fee projects
  • Active, paused and ended engagements
  • Costs, files and invoices connected to the work
See the workflow
01.02

Time & delivery costs

Give the hours and outside costs somewhere to land. See what delivery has used before another small request becomes a big one.

  • Time at internal cost rates
  • Fixed delivery costs against each engagement
  • A shared record of what went into the work
See the workflow
01.03

Fees & contribution

Compare the agreed creative fee with recorded delivery costs. Keep an eye on fee use while there is still time for a scope conversation.

  • Fee, cost and remaining contribution together
  • Early signals when delivery uses too much of the fee
  • Separate views for each working currency

Contribution is fee minus recorded delivery costs, before agency overheads. It is not net profit.

See the workflow
01.04

Media pass-through

Track media you have floated and what the client still owes. Keep it separate from your creative fee and delivery costs.

  • A dedicated media ledger
  • Outstanding amounts and aging
  • Separate media lines on invoices

Less back-and-forth.
More on the same page.

The context, the current file and the actual decision. All easy to find.

02.01

Clients & relationships

Bring the client’s engagements and relationship history together. Leave useful context for the next person in the conversation.

  • Client records and connected engagements
  • Dated wins, complaints and risk notes
  • Internal relationship notes kept private
02.02

Deliverables & files

Give deliverables a status and files a version history. Prepare the next round inside the agency, then publish when it is ready.

  • Deliverables connected to an engagement
  • Versioned files with a clear publishing step
  • Published work available in the client portal
See the workflow
02.03

Client approvals

Tie approval to the version the client actually reviewed. Keep change requests and decisions with the work they refer to.

  • Approvals for a specific file version
  • Change requests with client feedback
  • A decision history your team can find
See the workflow
02.04

Client portal

Give each client a secure place to find shared work, leave a decision and take care of invoices, without seeing your internal numbers.

  • Secure access links for client contacts
  • Published files, statuses and issued invoices
  • Payment options and proof uploads in one place
See the workflow

Good work deserves
a paid invoice.

From the first invoice line to the final payment confirmation.

03.01

Invoices

Turn the agreed work into an invoice you can review, issue and share. Keep creative fees and media on their own lines.

  • Invoice drafts from engagement periods
  • Payment terms, instructions and printable invoices
  • GST/SST fields for SG/MY; reviewed manual tax rates elsewhere

Offbeat supports invoicing, not tax filing or government e-invoicing.

See the workflow
03.02

Recurring billing

Set the monthly retainer schedule once. Generate invoices after the service period closes, with automatic card collection where supported and authorized.

  • Monthly retainer invoice schedules
  • Client-approved saved-card limits and revocation
  • Follow-up when an automatic collection fails

Saved-card collection uses eligible Stripe connections. Xendit and bank transfers are paid per invoice.

See the workflow
03.03

Payment collection

Connect your own Stripe or Xendit account and give clients a hosted checkout from their invoice. Keep confirmed payment activity close to the work.

  • Bring your own Stripe or Xendit account
  • Local methods available through your connected gateway
  • Guided Offbeat Payments setup for eligible Singapore agencies

Methods and currencies depend on gateway eligibility and activation. Own-account connections have no Offbeat transaction fee; Offbeat Payments adds 0.5% plus processor fees.

See the workflow
03.04

Bank transfers & proof

Let clients upload a transfer receipt against an invoice. Your agency checks what arrived, then approves the payment or explains what needs correcting.

  • Private PDF or image proof, date and reference
  • Approve the full payment or reject with a reason
  • Corrected submissions, decision history and notifications

Full invoice payments only. New collection attempts and overdue reminders pause while proof awaits review.
