Using Axonaut, users can create quotes for clients based upon the projected cost of jobs undertaken. In order to use this functionality, clients navigate to the dedicated part of the user interface for quotes and purchase orders (POs).
Clients are able to:
Clients are able to access the online signature of quotes created through the system. Given that users can also integrate Axonaut with payment gateways such as Stripe, they can also send out invoices that can be paid online. This increases the speed of payments processing. The electronic signature is sent to clients along with the quote.
Likewise, users can use Axonaut to both create one-off invoices and to create recurring invoices. The latter is useful for clients that are on retainer. To do this, users start with a quote and then convert it to an invoice. After configuring the billing frequency and start and end dates, the recurring invoice will be set up in the system.
Axonaut also comes complete with an Accountant’s Portal. This is designed so that users can send access credentials to their accountant who can log in and see key details about the business’s finances. To add an accountant to the system, users simply need to enter their email address and send an email invitation.
Features available from the Accountant’s Portal include:
All information can be easily downloaded from the system.
Axonaut features a visual pipeline tracker which allows sales team members to track deals as they progress throughout the business’s pipeline. Using a simple drag-and-drop interface, users can move deals as they progress from the targeted lead stage through to deal closure and handover to account management.

The sales/CRM module also features contact management. Here, users can enter full details about every lead that they wish to track through the CRM. They can also annotate the lead page with comments in order to keep other team members up to date with information about the account. Financial information such as the account’s tax number and billing currency can also be entered on the account management screen.
Users are able to design marketing campaigns through the marketing campaign management component of the CRM. Users can create email, SMS, and direct mail campaigns. The CRM prompts users for GDPR compliance at every stage of the email marketing process including contact import.
Axonaut is capable of integrating with the following projects:
Mailjet is an enterprise grade SMTP mail transfer agent and delivery service, giving Axonaut customers the option to scale up their email marketing efforts for large scale batch delivery. Axonaut offers 365 and G Suite integrations, making it interoperable with all major email marketing systems. Axonaut also includes plenty of useful automation tools such as Stripe, Gocardless, PrestaShop and WooCommerce. Last but not least, with the Axonaut/Zapier connection, you can connect with over 14,000 applications!
Axonaut puts its dashboard front and center of its platform—literally! The dashboard is the first page that users access after logging into the tool. Here, users are presented with a KPI view listing all the key business metrics as computed in the system. The dashboard is 100% customizable and can show users the following:

Axonaut ranks as a very easy CRM to use. The online interface is attractive and well designed. Users can customize key aspects of it such as their company logo. Administration work for system administrators is also relatively straightforward.
Axonaut has released a fully functional version of its CRM for iOS and Android. At the time of writing, the app enjoys a 4.5 star average rating from 12 customer reviews so far.

Need help using the CRM? Fortunately Axonaut has put together some very helpful online knowledge base documentation to help users to help themselves. If users need to receive personalized support, then they can click on the Intercom widget in the sidebar of the website. The team is very responsive to outreach over this medium.
Axonaut costs the following for one user:
| Subscription Period | 1 month | 1 year | 2 years |
|---|---|---|---|
Price | $90 per month | $81.00 per month | $76.50 per month |
Pricing isn’t pro-rated on a per-user basis, however. For instance adding a second user only raises the monthly subscription cost to $100 per month. In light of the above, this product represents better value for money for teams rather than individual users. It is targeted specifically at the needs of small and growing businesses.
For small businesses, this tool is a diverse platform that includes elements of CRM, inventory management, marketing software, and accounting platform. It integrates with both Mailchimp and Mailjet—which means that it can scale to help teams roll out large scale email marketing campaigns.
