Business development should not live in partners' heads.
One shared rhythm for prospects, follow-ups, referrals, tenders and clients — and the activities that turn relationships into revenue.
Built around the way African law firms actually win work.
Relationships begin in rooms like this.
Bideey makes sure the next action doesn't disappear when the room empties.
Doing the work, without seeing the pipeline.
An introduction lives in one partner's WhatsApp.
A proposal stalls — nobody owns the follow-up.
Referral relationships go quiet for months.
Tender documents get rebuilt from scratch, every time.
No one can state the pipeline's real value in a meeting.
Bideey turns scattered effort into a firm-wide rhythm.
Three things, done consistently, every week.
Capture what matters
Record prospects, client opportunities, referrals, tenders and the relationship context behind them — without turning business development into an administrative burden.
Keep the next action visible
Every live opportunity has an owner, a stage, a relationship strength, a next action and a follow-up date. Reminders surface what needs attention before opportunities quietly go cold.
Learn what produces revenue
See what is moving, what is stalling, which sources convert, which practices carry opportunity, and whether consistent activity is actually leading to instructions.
Built for what actually generates work.
Shared opportunity pipeline
Target through Won or Lost — visible to the whole firm, not one partner's head.
Follow-up reminders
Next actions surface automatically, so nothing goes cold from neglect.
Client & repeat-work development
Cross-selling opportunities inside relationships you already have.
Referral relationship tracking
The people who send you work — with a record of what they've actually produced.
Collections & outstanding fees
Won versus actually collected.
Private watchlist
Early relationships not yet ready to share firm-wide.
Resource-people directory
Specialist advisers, kept separate from the revenue pipeline.
Practice areas & targets
Configured to your own practice groups and activity targets.
Coordinate the bid, not just the deadline.
Every stage owned, from qualification to result.
- ✓ Bid / no-bid decision
- ✓ Mandatory documents
- ✓ Technical proposal
- ✓ Financial proposal
- ✓ Partner review
- ✓ Submission & follow-up
- ✓ Result & lessons
A walk through the actual screens.
Every screen below reflects the working application, shown with clearly fictional sample data.
Every prospect, client, referral partner and tender can carry a next action and a date. Reminders pull them into one weekly list, grouped by urgency — so nothing depends on any one person's memory.
Qualified
Proposal Requested
Contacted
The stage rail above mirrors the product's real pipeline stages, from first target through to Won or Lost — the same eight-stage progression every partner's opportunities move through.
Score 89/100
Score 73/100
Score 36/100
Tenders move through nine stages — from opportunity identification to result and lessons learned — scored on a consistent bid/no-bid rubric so the firm chases the right panels, not every panel.
Succession planning
AI governance readiness
Corporate restructuring
Every client record carries what they're currently instructing you on and what else they might need — so cross-selling is a visible prompt, not a coincidence.

Referral partners are tracked with the same discipline as prospects — including what they've actually produced, so the firm can see which relationships to protect.
Activity against target, firm-wide and by partner — the same categories every month, so trends are visible rather than anecdotal.
Insights answer questions partners are usually asked without warning: what's the pipeline worth, what's converting, and is the firm's activity actually producing revenue.
Winning the first instruction is only the beginning.
What they instructed you on, what they may need next, and who owns the next action — visible to the whole firm.
Built for relationship-led growth.
The African professional-services market is sophisticated and relationship-rich — it doesn't need generic software, it needs tools shaped to how work actually arrives.
Partner-led rainmaking, where a handful of relationships carry a disproportionate share of the firm's revenue.
Referral-driven instructions from accountants, bankers, auditors and other professionals.
Tenders and panel appointments as a serious, recurring revenue channel.
Cross-practice opportunities inside clients the firm already serves.
Mobile-first working habits — much of this happens between meetings, not at a desk.
Firms operating across multiple sectors, and increasingly multiple jurisdictions.
The need for a system simple enough that teams will actually keep it up to date.
Local currency presentation from day one, in Kenyan shillings, with further currencies planned.
A repeatable, firm-wide discipline.
What's moving, what's stalled, and what's actually producing revenue.
