Quick tour
What you’ll see in 15 minutes
A practical walkthrough, focused on the workflow your team actually runs.
Sales & CRM pipeline
How reps manage deals, tasks, and goals—without spreadsheets.
From order → design → proof → publish
Where status updates happen and who owns each step. Plan how pages come together and what’s “ready.”
Billing & payments workflow
How to reduce AR friction and collections time.
Two platforms. One calmer operation.
AccountScout runs revenue + print workflows end-to-end. Foundry powers your digital publishing ecosystem.
Connect sales, design, production, and accounting in one workflow—so ads move faster, pages ship on time, and billing doesn’t become a month-end fire drill.
The Morris Technologies platform we resell—built to run a publisher’s website, digital advertising, e-editions, subscriptions, and audience revenue in one place.
Everything connects: activities, orders, holds, proofs, invoices, and reporting share the same operational context—so teams stop duplicating work and chasing status updates.
Solve the handoff problems that slow publishing down.
Whether you’re coordinating weekly pages, managing retail complexity, or cleaning up proofing, FakeBrains gives you one source of truth—and a workflow your whole team can follow.
Sales + CRM (prospecting → pipeline → orders)
Track contacts, activities, opportunities, and agreements in the same system that produces the order, so sales doesn’t lose context when handoffs happen.
Marketing + Outreach (segments + campaigns)
Build targeted advertiser lists, send bulk emails, and schedule follow-ups—great for win-back, seasonal packages, renewals, and upsells.
Ad Design Workflow (assets → compose → proof)
Keep copy, files, instructions, and status together so designers move faster, rework drops, and proofs go out with fewer back-and-forth cycles.
Proofing + Approvals (approvals you can track)
Standardize proof communications and approvals with repeatable steps and messaging so progress is visible across departments—not trapped in inboxes.
Production + Pagination (readiness + planning)
Reduce late-stage chaos by making “ready” explicit and keeping production aligned with what sales sold and what design approved—so pages close on time.
Billing + AR + Payments (reduce friction)
Keep billing events tied to the operational record and support payment communications with consistent, professional messaging—from invoices to receipts.
Built for the people who actually ship the work.
Everyone gets the right view of the workflow—sales, designers, production, finance, and leadership—so handoffs stay clean and nothing slips.

The win isn’t “more software.” It’s fewer handoffs, clearer accountability, and a calmer close to deadline.
Mid-Atlantic Media uses Fake Brains’ AccountScout for its portfolio of publications. We were effectively able to consolidate our sales, layout, receivables and CRM functions into AccountScout affordably. It’s a big deal considering we’re running more than a dozen publication titles and over 50 employees through it.
Craig Burke • CEO of Mid-Atlantic Media
Fake Brains has surpassed all the other we have worked with, as their team understands the meaning of partnership, and their products deliver at speed for a price that makes the others seemingly laughable.
Jim Goodlett • President of Morris Technology
I only use AccountScout Mobile App. I don’t have time to go into the office. I drive 1000 miles a week, I use it everyday. It’s Fake Brains at your fingertips.
