14 connected modules ยท built for GCC law firms

Your firm's business development โ€” out of spreadsheets, into one system

Business development is what keeps a law firm growing: the pitches won, the bids submitted, the client relationships turned into repeat instructions. It's too important to run on scattered Excel files, shared inboxes and one person's memory โ€” where deadlines slip, bid bonds expire, and hard-won know-how walks out the door when someone leaves. QuickBD puts the entire function in one comprehensive system: 14 connected modules โ€” pitches, bid bonds and tenders, CVs and experience, events, gifts & compliance, CRM and cross-sell โ€” so every opportunity is tracked, every rule is enforced, and your firm's BD effort compounds year after year instead of starting over.

One place for the entire BD function

One-click import

Bring existing matters, contacts, bids, bonds, tenders, events and spend in from a spreadsheet โ€” a tab for every one of the 14 modules.

Role-based access

Manager vs BD Assistant roles, approval thresholds, and configurable access โ€” e.g. keep data import Manager-only.

Microsoft SSO

Sign in with your existing Microsoft 365 account โ€” no new passwords. IT controls access centrally via Entra ID, and leavers lose access automatically.

๐Ÿ–ฅ

Local & offline

Everything runs on the machine. No cloud, no data leaving the firm โ€” important for confidential, government-facing work.

For IT / systems admin

Set up in 10 minutes

QuickBD runs on your own machines / on-prem โ€” no new servers, nothing in the cloud. Two one-time tasks and the BD team is live: activate the firm licence, connect Microsoft (or Google) single sign-on, then the BD Manager assigns roles in-app.

1~3 min

Activate the licence

Enter the firm's org-wide key (QBD-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) once โ€” not per user. Plan, seat count & expiry then show in Settings and every account menu.

2~5 min

Connect SSO

Register QuickBD in Microsoft Entra ID (or Google Workspace) โ€” OIDC, redirect URI โ€ฆ/login.html, emit the verified email claim, and restrict to your firm's tenant. SAML 2.0 also supported.

3~2 min

Grant roles

The BD Manager opens Users and adds each colleague by work email as Assistant or Manager. Anyone not on the list is denied at login โ€” that's what keeps QuickBD BD-only.

Go-live checklist
  • Licence activated โ€” version & expiry visible in Settings
  • QuickBD registered in Entra ID / Google with the redirect URI
  • App restricted to the firm tenant / domain
  • BD Manager confirmed; team added under Users
  • Test sign-in with one Assistant + one Manager
๐Ÿ” SSO proves who you are (verified email); QuickBD's own Users list decides the role. Enterprise option: drive roles from Entra groups via a roles claim. A full step-by-step guide is provided at onboarding.
