Our Approach

AI is the lever. Operations are the foundation.

Before AI can help, you need cleaner data, simpler workflows, and a clear picture of what's actually broken.

Less manual work

Reduce rekeying, approvals, rework, and the tasks your team dreads.

Numbers you can trust

Replace gut calls and scattered spreadsheets with reporting people actually use.

AI without the risk

Practical governance, vendor oversight, and implementation you can actually control.

Who We Help

Established operators.

Profitable, busy, and tired of firefighting the same problems with spreadsheets and workarounds.

Construction

Job costing, change orders, scheduling, field-to-office handoffs.

Manufacturing

Throughput, quality, inventory accuracy, production reporting.

Professional Services

Time capture, billing workflows, utilization, clean reporting.

Healthcare

Front desk flow, claims/AR friction, standard work, controls.

Distribution

Order flow, purchasing, inventory counts, fulfillment accuracy.

Hospitality

Multi-location reporting, labor control, repeatable playbooks.

Insurance

Pipeline visibility, renewal workflows, documentation, controls.

About

Who's behind this.

35+ years across public company leadership, PE operations, and building technology from scratch. Senior operators, not career consultants.

How we're different

  • We start with your operations, not a technology pitch
  • We build plans you can execute with your existing team
  • We tell you what NOT to buy, not just what to buy
  • We stay accountable through implementation, not just strategy

We're selective. If we can't add clear value, we'll tell you on the first call.

What this looks like in practice

500+ hours saved / year

AI-powered invoice coding and indexing replaced manual AP processing. 90% accuracy from day one.

1 week → 1 click

Built a centralized data warehouse that replaced scattered spreadsheets with executive dashboards. Monthly reporting went from a week of manual assembly to automatic.

5 processes automated

Identified and automated five high-touch workflows across finance and operations. 100+ hours of annual manual work, eliminated.

Results from prior engagements. Specifics vary by company.
