“Before LaunchBay, we would spend over four hours per client tracking down onboarding information. Now, that entire process takes just 15 minutes—freeing up our team to focus on delivering value instead of chasing clients.”
GUIDEcx customers are switching to LaunchBay — here’s why
No native file proofing
GUIDEcx lets clients upload files, but there’s no built-in way to review them. Clients can’t leave inline comments, mark up images or PDFs, or approve deliverables inside the portal, so teams still rely on external tools and email chains.
No native digital signatures
GUIDEcx offers task sign-offs and attachments, but it doesn’t include a real e-signature system. You can’t add signature fields to contracts, collect legally binding signatures, or track who signed what. Teams must rely on external e-signature tools.
Limited custom fields for client-facing work
GUIDEcx supports custom fields, but they’re geared mostly toward internal data and reporting. They can’t personalize the client portal, fill forms or contracts, or power dynamic client experiences.
Not ideal for creative or deliverable-heavy projects
GUIDEcx is designed for step-by-step onboarding workflows. But if your projects involve creative deliverables, frequent revisions, or changing priorities, its rigid structure can make it harder to adapt as you go.

Onboard smarter and scale faster with LaunchBay
Built-in file proofing your clients actually use
Upload images, PDFs, or videos and let clients leave inline comments, request changes, and approve deliverables—all inside the portal. No extra apps or messy email threads. Everything stays in one clear, organized place.
Integrated e-signatures for contracts and approvals
Send contracts, collect legally binding signatures, and automatically trigger next steps the moment a client signs. LaunchBay replaces external signature tools, making contract workflows smoother and reducing onboarding delays.
Dynamic, client-facing customization
Use custom fields to autofill documents, personalize tasks, embed dashboards, or pull client-specific data into the portal. Your clients get a tailored experience, and your team gets workflows that scale effortlessly.
Fast, flexible workflows for any type of project
LaunchBay isn’t limited to step-by-step onboarding flows. You can manage creative work, ongoing retainers, complex deliverables, and projects that change as they go. Build workflows that fit your process, not the other way around.
4 areas where LaunchBay dominates GUIDEcx
Manage creative and evolving workflows without the limitations
Handle creative work, ongoing retainers, and projects that evolve over time without bending your process to fit the tool. LaunchBay supports flexible task flows, dynamic stages, multiple revisions, and creative deliverable cycles—making it ideal for fast-moving client work.
Built for structured onboarding, GUIDEcx follows more linear, step-by-step workflows. Creative deliverables, multiple revision rounds, or changing project requirements can feel restrictive, making it harder to adapt as projects evolve.
Collect deliverable feedback and approvals in one place
LaunchBay streamlines deliverable reviews by letting clients comment, request changes, and sign off on assets directly in the portal. Everything lives in one place, making revisions faster and easier for your team.
Clients can upload files, but there’s no native proofing or inline feedback. Teams must rely on outside tools for markup and approvals, which leads to scattered context and extra steps for both sides.
Send and automate contract signing without extra tools
LaunchBay includes integrated e-signatures. Add signature fields, send contracts, collect legally binding signatures, and trigger automations the moment a document is signed—keeping everything inside one smooth workflow.
GUIDEcx supports basic task sign-offs but not true digital contract signing. There’s no way to add signature fields or automate next steps, so teams must use third-party e-signature tools.
Personalize every client experience with dynamic custom fields
LaunchBay uses custom fields to tailor each client’s portal and keep projects feeling personalized without extra setup or duplicate work.
Custom fields exist but are mostly internal. They’re not built to personalize client-facing content or drive dynamic portal experiences, limiting flexibility and consistency across projects.
"LaunchBay has helped us automate our onboarding process, simplify our deal-closing process, and keep our client projects more organized. My team also loves LaunchBay, as it allows them to do more in fewer hours by eliminating client follow-ups and tedious project management tasks."
