Case Studies

AI automation case studies for owner-operated businesses

Construction and manufacturing, ecommerce and distribution, property development, sales pipelines. Every engagement starts with the same question: what is the single step wasting the most time? Here is what happened when we answered it. All studies are anonymised.

Construction / Building Materials

Reconciling a $60M Construction Sales Pipeline Into One View

A construction materials manufacturer ran a $60M pipeline through a single sales rep and a CRM no one had time to read. We built a pipeline layer that connects to the CRM API, reconciles every deal into one queryable view, and made it obvious where deals win and where they stall. This engagement is active.

Construction / Manufacturing

Running the Ops Stack for a Brick-Cladding Manufacturer

A brick-cladding manufacturer ran sales out of one rep's inbox and the factory out of a whiteboard and one person's memory. Over four months the website, the lead funnel, the sales layer over the CRM and a production app were built and are now run week to week. This engagement is active.

Replacing Airtable With a Procurement and Warehouse App

A multi-store retailer ran procurement in Google Sheets, tasks in Airtable, and its warehouse in a WMS that was slow to change. We built a procurement and task app on top of the existing systems. The whole warehouse now runs on it, with 1,300 tasks completed. This engagement is active.

Property Development

Budget Tracking and AI Cost Prediction for a Property Developer

A property developer kept his build budget in a spreadsheet, separate from his builder's. Invoices were a black box. We replaced it with a Build Budget app that holds one shared budget, links every invoice to a line, and tracks product selections. AI cost prediction is scoped on top of it.
