Sign Industry Management Software
Striven is a complete business management software to help you be more efficient, organized, and competitive.
“If you’re serious about scaling and efficiency,
Striven is absolutely worth it.”
Striven stood out because it wasn’t just one strong feature—it was a complete system that actually worked together.
Most platforms excel at one or two areas and fall short everywhere else. Striven offered CRM, project management, accounting, proposals, and reporting in one ecosystem, which immediately aligned with how the business actually operates.
