One platform or a stack of tools
What changes when every team works from the same customer record.
| Feature | Hourglass | A stack of point tools |
|---|---|---|
| Customer data | One record that every tool shares | A copy in each tool, kept in step by hand or by connectors |
| Handoffs | Marketing, sales and service on the same timeline | Exports, imports and context lost in between |
| Reporting | One report from first visit to renewal | A spreadsheet stitched together from several dashboards |
| AI agents | Agents that read the whole customer record | Separate assistants that only see their own tool |
| Admin | One login and one set of permissions | Separate users, roles and bills for every tool |
| Cost | One price that grows with you | Several subscriptions that grow separately |
