The business suite that fits how you actually work
Customers, enquiries, jobs, quotes and invoices — in one place, and in your words. Corva Desk is a modular platform you switch on a piece at a time, instead of a monolith you have to bend your business around.
What it does
Everything that happens between a first enquiry and a paid invoice
Start with the parts you need today. Add the rest when you're ready — each module switches on for your business without a migration, a consultant, or a new system.
Customers & Contacts
One list of the businesses and people you deal with, how they relate, their addresses, and the full history of everything you've sent, quoted or resolved.
Tickets & enquiries
Every request that comes in — by email, by phone, from your website — captured, assigned to a person or a team, and tracked to done.
Quotes, invoices & payments
Quote it, do it, invoice it, record the payment. Your own number series, recurring invoices for regular work, and documents in your own layout.
Email that threads itself
Mail to your own inbox becomes a ticket, and replies land back on the ticket they belong to. Your team and your customers are kept up to date automatically.
A dashboard that's yours
Pick your tiles, size them, put them where you want, and choose the period. Everyone arranges their own.
Calendar, tasks & to-dos
Shared calendars, tasks against the work they belong to, and personal to-do lists you can share with a colleague.
Your words, not ours
A ticket can be a job, a case, a matter, or an instruction. Rename what things are called to match how your business already talks.
Roles that fit your team
Decide exactly who can see and do what, down to single actions. Set your own time zone, date style and sign-in rules.
Built to be added to
Optional modules you switch on when they earn their place: assets, device monitoring, electronic signatures, and a link to your accounts.
A look inside
The everyday screens, as they look today
Pictures of Corva Desk's screens, with made-up names and figures. Everything here is built and in use now.
How it's built
Boring where it counts
Most of this you should never have to think about. That's rather the point — but you should know it's there.
-
✓
Your data is isolated by the database itself Not by application code remembering to filter. The database refuses to return another company's rows, even if the software above it asks wrongly.
-
✓
Nothing is hard-coded to one way of working Your statuses, your roles, your vocabulary. Configuration, not a rebuild.
-
✓
An audit trail that cannot be edited Records of what happened are append-only — not even the application can rewrite them after the fact.
-
✓
Or a server of your own A dedicated version of Corva Desk can run on a private server (a VPS) used by your business alone.
-
✓
Your data stays yours Export it, and take it with you. No lock-in as a business model.
Multi-tenant, properly
Plenty of software claims to keep customers separate. Here it's enforced one layer below the application, where a bug in the code can't reach it.
It's the difference between a lock on the door and a promise that nobody will walk in.
Who it's for
Any business with customers, work and invoices
Corva Desk is not built for one trade or one profession. It is built for the shape of work almost every business shares — an enquiry arrives, work happens, money changes hands — and then bent to fit yours. A few examples of what that looks like in practice.
Trades & on-site services
Enquiries from the website, the phone and word of mouth all land in one list. Nothing is lost in a text message on somebody’s personal phone.
Computer & IT repair
Book a machine in, track it from diagnosis to collection, quote for parts before you order them, and invoice when it goes out the door. No more jobs living on a whiteboard.
Legal & professional firms
A ticket can be a matter, a case or an instruction — your words, not ours. The audit trail is append-only and cannot be rewritten, which matters when it matters.
Phone & device repair
High volume, small margins, no room for a job to go missing. Every repair has a reference, an owner and a status the customer can be told without you going to look.
Property & lettings
Every issue against the right property and the right tenant, with a full record of what was reported, when, and what was done about it.
Cleaning & facilities
Regular contracts and one-off callouts in the same list. Who is due where, what was done, and what to bill for it — without rebuilding the round in a spreadsheet every Monday.
Electrical & appliance repair
Callouts, parts on order, second visits. Keep the whole history against the customer, so the third person to attend knows what the first two already tried.
Fire, security & compliance
Servicing that has to happen by a date, and proof that it did. Every visit, certificate and remedial action against the right site, so a renewal is never something you learn about late.
Design, studios & agencies
Client requests, revisions and sign-off in one thread instead of six inboxes. Quote the work, do it, bill it.
Vehicle & motor repair
Estimate, authorise, do the work, invoice. Quotes turn into jobs and jobs turn into invoices without anybody retyping a line.
Accountants & bookkeepers
Client queries tracked to done, with deadlines that do not depend on somebody remembering. The paper trail is the product.
Suppliers & wholesale
Orders, queries, returns and credit notes against the right account, with the payment terms you actually agreed.
What's new
Possible duplicate contacts
Released 8 October 2026. Corva Desk is improving every week while it is in early access.
- Contacts has a Possible duplicates page. It lists pairs of contacts that may be the same person or business, with the reasons (the same email address, the same phone number, a contact named after another's email address, very similar names) and a match score. Each pair can be merged, through the usual merge preview, or marked as not duplicates.
- When someone adds a contact that may already exist, Corva Desk says so before saving it. They can open the existing contact or save anyway. An administrator can switch the warning off and adjust the scoring.
- Merging contacts now checks that nothing has changed since the preview was shown, and shows the updated preview if it has.
Questions
The things people ask first
Straight answers. If something here is unclear, that is our fault, not yours.
What kind of business is Corva Desk for?
Any business with customers, work to do, and invoices to send. It is used the same way by a plumbing firm, a law practice, a letting agent and a design studio, because those businesses share far more than they differ — an enquiry arrives, work happens, money changes hands. Corva Desk is built around that shape, then bent to fit your particular trade or profession rather than assuming one.
How is my data kept separate from other companies?
By the database itself, not by application code remembering to filter. Every company's records are isolated at the storage layer, so the database will refuse to return another company's rows even if the software above it asks for them incorrectly. It is the difference between a lock on the door and a promise that nobody will walk in.
Can I use my own words instead of yours?
Yes. A ticket can be a job, a case, a matter, an instruction, or whatever your business already calls it. Statuses, roles and vocabulary are yours to set. You should not have to learn our language to run your own company.
What does early access get me?
50% off your first year, held for you when Corva Desk opens, plus your choice of web address while the good ones are still free. Registering costs nothing and commits you to nothing — no card, and no obligation to go ahead.
Can we have our own dedicated version?
Yes. As well as the shared service, a dedicated version of Corva Desk can be set up for your business on a private server of its own (a VPS), with nobody else's data on it. It suits businesses that need their own server for policy or compliance reasons, or simply prefer one. Register your interest below, tick the box for a dedicated version, and we will talk it through with you.
Can I get my data out again?
Yes, and we think you should be able to leave whenever you like. Your records are yours. Making software difficult to escape from is not a business model we are interested in.
Get 50% off your first year
Register now and we will hold 50% off year one for you when Corva Desk opens. It takes a few seconds, there is no card, and you are committing to nothing.
