Welcome to Nexte
Everything you need to get running in 10 minutes.
Nexte is a unified workspace for freelancers and small agencies: projects, CRM, billing, proposals, client portal — everything connected, without juggling six tools. A single source of truth across your sales, production and accounting.
This documentation covers every feature in the app, grouped by domain. Each article is self-contained, with exact interface paths and concrete examples. Use the search on the left if you're looking for a specific term.
Who Nexte is for
- Solo freelancers billing 5-50 clients/year who want to stop losing 4 hours per month on admin.
- Small agencies (2-15 people) wanting to unify their sales pipeline, production, and invoicing.
- Consultants and creative studios needing a clean client portal and reliable contract-to-invoice tracking.
- Growing teams that outgrew Google Sheets + Stripe + Notion and want a single tool.
The 4 building blocks to know
- Projects: one space per engagement with timeline, files, tasks, and shared client portal. Every piece of activity for an engagement lives here.
- Billing: quotes, invoices, recurring subscriptions, automatic dunning, bank reconciliation, and accounting exports. Everything coming in and out of your business.
- CRM: contacts, companies, unified inbox, follow-up automations. Your commercial base and daily client relationship.
- Proposals: assisted generator, template library, offer catalog. Create winning proposals in minutes, not hours.
In what order should I start?
- Complete your profile, brand identity (logo + primary color), and legal info (VAT, tax ID) — 5 minutes.
- Connect Stripe to collect by card, SEPA, and Apple Pay. Onboarding takes 3-5 minutes.
- Connect your professional email (Gmail or Outlook) so every communication goes out from your verified domain.
- Create your first project, add a client, and send them the portal link. You have a tangible POC in under 15 minutes.
- Issue a test invoice, receive a real payment (even €1 to yourself), and verify the full cycle works.
