Maximize revenue with automation: Ignition’s 2025 innovations

Let’s face it—running a professional services business isn’t just about delivering great work. It’s about finding ways to scale efficiently and keep cash flowing. That’s where automation comes in. Platforms like Ignition aren’t just changing the game—they’re rewriting the rules for how professional services businesses sell, bill, and get paid.

During our recent webinar, we celebrated the incredible success of Ignition customers in 2024, shared product highlights, and offered a sneak peek at our 2025 product roadmap. Here's a closer look at how Ignition is transforming the way service businesses operate—and how it can help you do the same.

This year, 7,500 Ignition customers generated over $2.7 billion in revenue via the platform and processed over 3 million payment transactions. They used Ignition to engage over 800,000 clients and send nearly 1 million proposals, demonstrating the massive impact of automation on growth and efficiency.

One standout feature launched in 2024 was proposal add-ons. This game-changer enabled customers to upsell additional services within proposals, generating over $2 million in extra revenue. Another key highlight was Instant Bill for out-of-scope work, which drove an impressive $134 million in additional revenue for customers.

These innovations are just the tip of the iceberg for what Ignition can do to streamline your processes and increase profitability.

Our 2025 product roadmap is packed with features designed to help businesses close deals faster, increase pricing confidence, and improve cash flow. 

As Dane Thomas, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Ignition highlighted in the webinar, “Our vision for Ignition is to become the platform that enables professional services to attract, win, manage, and retain clients. Ignition will support you and your clients throughout their entire client lifecycle.”

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming:

Managing leads with spreadsheets and sticky notes? Say goodbye to manual tracking. With Deals, launching in 2025, you’ll have one place to view, manage, and automate your sales pipeline—from capturing leads to sending proposals, closing deals, and collecting payments.

Spend less time chasing information. Our new Forms feature makes it simple to collect and qualify leads online. Whether it’s a new client intake form or a “contact us” request, you’ll capture the data you need to focus on the most profitable opportunities.

With 57% of US firms planning to increase their fees in 2025, we’re making bulk price changes a breeze. You’ll be able to adjust pricing across multiple client agreements in minutes—perfect for renewal season or keeping up with market demand. So far, customers have already generated $8.7 million in extra revenue using our price increases feature.

Speaking to the new feature during the webinar, Ignition customer and owner of The Profitability Project, Joey Albertson, said; “It's impossible not to be excited. Right? I look at that [extra revenue] on the screen that comes from just five minutes of my time… We don't wanna spend our time doing all of this administrative stuff. We have more important things to do, but this is so crucial in getting that extra money in the door. So I love that it's just so efficient.”

Better integrations for smoother workflows

From enhanced compatibility with Intuit ProConnect Tax to new integrations with CCH Axcess™ and Thomson Reuters Onvio, we’re making it easier to connect Ignition with the tools you already use. The result? Less admin and more time for what matters.

As a business owner, you know the professional services landscape is competitive. To stand out, you need efficient systems that reduce admin work, accelerate cash flow, and keep your clients happy. Ignition brings all these capabilities together in one platform—giving you more time to focus on growth and client relationships.

If 2024 showed us anything, it’s that automation isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a business necessity. By embracing tools like Ignition, you can boost efficiency, improve cash flow, and unlock new revenue opportunities.
