Case studies

Hours back. A business someone else can run.

These are owner-dependent processes we took off an operator: payouts, account knowledge, reporting. Same job in both shops. Make the company runnable without that person in the middle of every decision.

Hours back, and a business a successor can see

After an acquisition, the new COO was still the system. We turned commissions, onboarding, and reporting into software so a mid-60s operator could work three days a week, and so the company was no longer trapped in his laptop.

Commission and reporting workflows moved out of spreadsheet hell.

Dealer onboarding went from over an hour to a single AI-assisted upload.

Three related companies now run in one connected digital ecosystem.

The payout process only one partner could run

Month-end commissions lived in Rob. Ten hours in spreadsheets became about one hour in software. That is not a finance toy. It is less key-person risk on the P&L.

Commission processing dropped from 10 hours to about 1 hour.

Contract, direct hire, and split-fee logic now live in one workflow.

Team profitability is visible after draws, management fees, tool costs, and splits.

The pattern across both stories

The industry changes, but the constraint is familiar: important business logic gets trapped in spreadsheets, local knowledge, and disconnected tools. We turn that logic into systems operators can trust.
