What we do

Case studies

Consignment retail store
Manual vendor billing consuming several hours weekly
Automated billing pipeline pulling sales from █████​  and posting draft invoices to ███​  with a self balancing spreadsheet for verification.
Several hours of manual work reduced to 15 minutes a week

A consignment retail store was spending several hours each week on vendor billing. The process was entirely manual: exporting sales data, sorting by vendor in a spreadsheet, then creating invoices in their accounting platform one by one.

We built an automation that ran locally from their desktop, pulling sales data directly from their retail platform and grouping it by vendor automatically. It generated a self-balancing verification spreadsheet with links to draft invoices. Items sold as unknown at the point of sale (typically SKUs the cashier couldn’t identify) were flagged for manual reconciliation. We also redesigned the invoice template so vendors received something that looked like a payout statement: familiar and readable rather than a generic accounting document. The solution was designed around how they'd actually use it, not just how it worked.

The weekly billing run went from several hours to around fifteen minutes.

Accounting practice
Jobs falling through the gaps across disconnected platform
Conducted independent compatibility assessments of two potential platforms against the practice's existing workflows and staff processes. Managed full implementation including data migration from existing platform and recreation of active work in progress.
Practice now has full visibility across all active work in a single platform

An accounting practice was running their work-in-progress across two disconnected platforms. Jobs were falling through the gaps and there was no single view of where work stood at any given time. They wanted an integrated practice management solution.

Rather than accepting vendor presentations at face value, we sat in on demos for two platforms, asking technical questions the sales process wouldn't surface and debriefing with the client afterwards to separate genuine capability from sales pitch. One platform had appealing features but would have required the practice to reshape how they worked to fit the software. The other was the better fit.

We managed the full implementation: migrating client data from the existing platform and recreating active jobs to match current work in progress. To cover the transition period, we designed an interim manual process to ensure nothing was missed while both platforms were live. We also ran informal training on the features central to solving the visibility problem.

A feature on the requirements list turned out not to be supported. We caught it during implementation, managed expectations, and the client determined they could work around it without impacting the outcome.

The practice now runs all work through the new platform with full visibility.

Professional services
Customer bookings with missed preparation and manual overhead
Built an integration that automatically created linked notes in the practice management platform on each new booking, with a daily summary email consolidating upcoming clients and work context.
All preparation now completed before the client arrives

A professional services firm was managing client bookings through a personal calendar. New bookings required manual checks to ensure onboarding preparation was completed and the right people were informed before a client arrived. There was no visibility across the team without exposing the calendar directly.

We built an integration using existing infrastructure that triggered automatically on new bookings, creating a note in their practice management platform linked to the relevant contact and work. If either didn't exist yet, the note flagged it explicitly rather than silently assuming. The right people had visibility of incoming clients in the context of the work being done for them, without needing access to anyone's personal calendar.

A daily summary email was also built into the integration, consolidating upcoming bookings with the relevant client and work context in one place.

The manual check process was eliminated. Onboarding and preparation now happen as part of the same workflow, not as a separate manual step, and the whole team works from the same picture.
