Why agencies still juggle Sheets + Notion + partial MainWP
MainWP is heavy; Sheets drifts; Notion is not a sites + MRR register.
The agency ops problem
You need a hub register — not necessarily a full remote suite.
MainWP is heavy. Sheets drifts. Notion is not a sites + health + MRR register.
- MainWP / ManageWP: license, complexity
- Sheets CRM: drift and version chaos
- Notion: no native WP portal
- No client status shortcode
- Passwords in docs (risk)
- No CLI / REST for agency fleets
The Volade answer
Clients, sites, reports — from wp-admin.
CCL stores the hub locally, exposes shortcodes, and ships 4 demo presets — vault refs only, never passwords.
- Dashboard Volade → Client Control
- Clients (active / paused / churned / prospect) + MRR
- Sites (prod/staging, health ok/warn/critical)
- Access: vault refs only (1Password, etc.)
- Period reports (draft / sent / archived)
- Shortcodes [ccl_portal] and [ccl_status]
- 4 presets: agence-web-fr, freelance-solo, maintenance-pack, multisite-hub
