General Business Management Software for Everyday Operations
Customers, time, invoices, and books in one workspace — the default starting point when you are not a clinic, shop, or property office.
Not every company is a clinic, a shop, or a property office. Most teams just need customers, time, tasks, invoices, and books in one place. Hexa Piper’s general business workspace is that starting point — CRM, timesheets, invoicing, payroll, and accounting on one login, with industry modules available later if you need them.
What is general business management software?
General business management software is a single platform for the work every operating company does: keep a customer list, assign work, track time, send invoices, pay the team, and see income versus spend. It is not a vertical product that forces you into leases, patient charts, or dispatch boards. It is the core you run first.
Hexa Piper is built for teams of 5–50. Every module shares the same people, customers, and security, so a customer in the CRM is the same customer you invoice and the same name on a timesheet. No re-entry, no second login for books.
Why mixed or “plain” businesses end up with five apps
A typical office buys a CRM for follow-up, a time tracker for payroll, a separate invoicing tool, a task board, and a bookkeeping app. Each one works until month-end, when someone copies hours into an invoice and invoices into a spreadsheet. Nothing stays in sync, and every extra app is another bill and another security gap.
If you do not fit a named industry, that stack is even noisier — because there is no “realtor” or “clinic” product that claims you. General business management software should cover the shared work without pretending you run a specialty you do not.
How Hexa Piper fits a general business
Turn on the core modules. Add a vertical later only if your work actually needs it.
CRM and customer records
Keep leads, customers, and conversation history in one shared record. The same record is what invoicing and tasks use, so the person you sold is the person you bill.
Timesheets that feed payroll
Timesheets let staff log hours. Approved time flows into payroll so you are not reconstructing a pay period from chat messages.
Invoices from the same customers
Invoicing turns a CRM customer into a bill and can accept online payments, including ACH. Demo and live companies use the same flow — no export to a second billing app.
Accounting you can open with the team
Accounting holds the chart of accounts, invoices, vendor bills, and Profit & Loss. The accountant login sees books; staff do not have to.
Tasks, documents, and chat
Tasks, documents, and HIPAA-ready team chat sit next to the customer record so delivery is not a side app.
When to start here vs a named industry
Start on General Business if your day is customers, hours, invoices, and books — and you do not yet need property units, a patient census, or a shop floor. If you later manage rentals, DME patients, or a clinic, you can add that industry module without throwing away the core.

Why teams choose the general workspace
One company type, many roles
Company Admin, Staff, Manager, Accountant, and Time clock are separate logins on the same sample company. That is how a live office works — and how the demo is built.
Security on every plan
Encryption, role-based access, audit trails, backups, and HIPAA-ready controls ship on every plan, including the free one. Security overview.

Most teams are set up without an IT project. Import customers, invite users, turn on time and accounting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hexa Piper for if I am not in a named industry?
General Business is the default workspace: CRM, timesheets, tasks, invoicing, payroll, and accounting for any operating company that does not need a vertical module on day one.
How is this different from the Small Business page?
Small Business is the same core platform with a pricing and team-size story for offices of 5–50. General Business is the horizontal starting point — start here when you want the default company type and the live demo that matches it.
Can I add an industry module later?
Yes. Realtor, DME, healthcare-style census, and other modules can be turned on when the work requires them. You do not have to pick a vertical to start.
Does the live demo use real money or real customers?
No. Demo sign-in uses fictional sample data and @demo.test users. Do not enter real names, emails, or SMTP credentials in a demo.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $0 per user per month, with Hexa Lite at $12/user/mo and Hexa Core at $18/user/mo. Yearly billing saves 17%. A 30-day trial does not require a credit card.
Do I need an IT team?
No. Most teams are fully set up in about ten minutes. Security and backups are included on every plan.
