About Pocketknife

The platform the industry should have built years ago.

Created by an owner who has spent nearly two decades building and leading in insurance and securities, Pocketknife puts every tool an agency, agent and advisor needs into one connected platform.

Meet the founder

Kris Keush saw the problem from the top, and set out to fix it.

For nearly 20 years, Kris Keush has built, led and sold companies across every area of this industry. As an owner, he has recruited and supported teams, managed carrier relationships, overseen compliance and kept a growing operation running. He knows exactly what it takes to run an agency, because he has done it.

He also saw what it cost. Every agency he knew was paying for a stack of disconnected tools: a CRM, a quoting system, a website builder, a commission tracker, a contracting portal, a document vault. Each came with its own login, its own monthly bill and its own blind spots, and none of them talked to each other. Agents spent their days re-typing the same client into five systems instead of serving clients.

“I never understood why the tools this industry depends on cost so much and do so little together. So I built the one I always wanted.”

Pocketknife is that platform: everything an agency, agent or advisor needs, in one place, at a fair price. It was designed from day one to work alongside the systems people already trust, not to lock anyone in. Keep your favorite CRM and Pocketknife connects to it, or run your entire business here. The choice belongs to you.

Under Kris's leadership, Pocketknife is growing into something bigger than software: one connected network where agents, agencies, carriers, CPAs, estate attorneys, advisors and their clients finally work together.

Everything is included.

No add-ons. No upsells. No feature held back for a higher tier. The CRM, the website builder, the compliance vault, commissions, contracting and training all come with your login.

What is inside

Everything in one place

Each piece replaces a tool most agents pay for separately, and they all share the same information, so you enter it once.

Built-in CRM

Clients, households, pipeline, tasks and follow-ups in one view. Tap any number to call from your own phone or dialer, then log the call, text or note right on the client's record.

Quote and enroll

Medicare, ACA and health, life, annuities and P&C, with one intake that feeds your raters and carrier enrollment sites instead of typing the same client in five places.

Your own website

Build a professional agent website in minutes. Buy a domain from GoDaddy or anywhere else, connect it, and you are live. Quote requests go straight into your CRM.

Carriers and contracting

More than 200 carriers with links, forms and agent support contacts. Request appointments through any upline and see when you are ready to sell, by carrier and state.

Licensing and compliance vault

Licenses, E&O, CE, AHIP and FFM certifications, SOAs and contracts stored securely, with reminders before anything expires.

Commissions

Weekly statements by carrier, advances and chargebacks, bonuses, and missing payments caught and tracked until they are paid.

Agency and downline

Agency owners see their whole team: production, licensing, contracting and recruiting, with each agency's information kept private to that agency.

Securities

Registrations, firms, CE and supervision tracking for advisors who also hold securities licenses, kept separate where the rules require it.

Training and Ask AI

Short how-to videos on every page, a full training library, and an AI assistant built in to help you find answers fast.

Invite, connect and share

Your own invite link, code and QR code to grow your team, connections with CPAs, attorneys and clients, and switches that decide exactly who sees your information.

Desktop, tablet and phone

The same office on every screen, in 11 languages, with your saved work following you from device to device.

Why it is different

Built the way this business actually works

One login instead of ten

Stop paying for and switching between separate tools that never share information.

Works with what you already use

Pocketknife is built to connect: link your existing CRM, dialer, calendar and carrier portals, or move everything here when you are ready.

Designed by an owner who has done the job

Every screen reflects nearly 20 years of running and supporting teams, so it fits how agencies and advisors actually work.

Private and secure by design

Every agency sees only its own people. Documents live in a private vault, and every sign-in is verified with a one-time code sent to your email.

One connected network

Everyone who serves the client, working together

A family's insurance, retirement, taxes and estate plan usually live with different professionals who never talk. Pocketknife connects them, and the client decides who sees what.

1

The client says yes

Nothing is shared without the client's permission, and they can take it back any time.

2

Documents go straight in

Clients upload policies, statements and IDs directly to their agent's secure file, and they appear in the CRM.

3

The team works as one

The agent, CPA, attorney and advisor see what they need and can message each other, so nothing falls through the cracks.

The agent and agency platform is live today. Client, carrier and partner access (CPAs, estate attorneys and advisors) are rolling out next.

Your whole office, in your pocket.
