Who it's for: Creative agencies, marketing studios, web development shops, design firms, and video production companies that work with clients under written agreements.

Agencies run on relationships, but relationships need contracts. Master service agreements set the terms before the first project. Statements of work define what is being delivered and what it costs. Change orders document scope shifts before additional work begins. When these documents live in email threads and spreadsheets, things fall through the cracks.

Inkly gives your agency a consistent process for sending and collecting signed documents. Upload your standard MSA or SOW, place the fields, and send it to the client or their legal contact. You can track who has opened and signed, follow up if needed, and download the completed document. Templates let you reuse your most common contract structures across every new client engagement.
