Custom software and automation
Every business has a process held together by spreadsheets, copy and paste and one person’s memory. We turn those into dependable software, so the work gets done the same way every time.
Find the hours you are losing
We start by sitting with the people who do the work and timing the steps. Often the biggest savings come from small things: a quote that takes forty minutes to assemble, a weekly report built by hand, or a booking process with four emails where one would do.
Examples
- Quote and proposal generators that pull prices and terms from one source
- Automatic monthly reports emailed to managers or clients
- Replacing a critical spreadsheet with a proper multi-user system
- Reading incoming emails or documents and filing the data automatically
