One of the most powerful workshops I've had this year wasn’t even planned. I sat down with a client for what was meant to be a quick chat… and it turned into a full-blown working session.

If you're like most software or digital agency owners, your week is spent flipping between Asana, Clockify, Xero, spreadsheets, and Slack, trying to piece together where your team’s time went, what’s been delivered, what still needs quoting, and which invoices are overdue. You’re doing everything right… but the tools aren’t built for how agencies like yours really operate. That’s exactly why Kanopi was built. It’s a single platform that connects quoting, task management, time tracking, and invoicing in one clean system, so you can finally see what’s going on in your business without duct-taping data from six different places. In this article, you’ll learn what Kanopi is, how it’s different to what you’re using now, and how it can help you run a smoother, more profitable agency without overloading your team with yet another system.

At Dcode Group, we’ve worked with businesses across construction, trades, wellness, and professional services. And there’s one operational truth they all share: Scheduling people and resources is at the heart of how the business runs. But despite its importance, scheduling is often handled with whiteboards, spreadsheets, and memory. That might work for a small team - but as complexity grows, that system collapses. This post explores how we’ve helped clients evolve from chaos to clarity - with scheduling systems that reflect how they actually work, across industries.

For a long time, I was hesitant to talk openly about Dcode's expansion outside of Australia. There's a perception that international offices - particularly in some regions - are about cutting costs or outsourcing work in ways that compromise quality. But that’s never been our philosophy. At Dcode Group, our focus has always been simple: find exceptional people, and build great teams around them - wherever they are. That's exactly how our Vietnam office began.
