What is the best tool for customer/client management and project management?

Question

We're a small design bureau and we currently use a diversity of tools to keep the boat afloat. Mainly Timelyapp for time tracking, Asana for project management and Gmail for email.

Even though we are small, we're afraid that communication gets lost along the way, and we're looking for the ultimate tool that works perfectly, feels good and looks awesome.

I've sneak peeked at some CRM tools like Insightly and Pipedrive, but I don't quite feel they'll suite us and our nitpicky demands. So I therefore ask you, nice hunters, for advice.

Basecamp is pretty good for project management when you have many small projects your team a working on.

ProofHub says that it is the one place for all your projects, teams and communications. This is the only one that I've not used, yet, but it looks promising. :)

Flock is a team communication and collaboration platform that integrates with almost everything under the sun. Gmail, Google Drive, Asana, Zendesk and more - you can use various tools and bring it all together in one system that keeps your communication chain short and simple, and easy. Try it out!

Disclaimer: I work at Flock, so I might be a little biased but it's a great platform for teams big and small!

Like ProofHub, it seem to meet many of our demands. Haven't tested it yet, looks promising though.

You could try Drag boards. They stay inside Gmail (and look like Pipedrive!)
