Connecting your software
CRM, accounting, email, calendars and databases sharing information with one another.
Connect your tools. Stop retyping everything.
You already pay for good software. The trouble is that a person has to carry information from one tool to the next. We connect them so the work moves on its own.
Sound familiar?
The problems we usually hear.
-
The same information gets typed three times
We connect the tools, so it's entered once and shows up everywhere it's needed.
-
Off-the-shelf automations keep breaking
When simple connectors can't handle your exceptions, we build something sturdier, with alerts when something goes wrong.
-
Work stalls between people
We make the next step happen automatically and remind the right person when it doesn't.
What we can build
A few examples.
Onboarding
One signed agreement sets up the account, the paperwork and the first steps for each team.
Billing
Finished work becomes an invoice, and overdue invoices get followed up on time.
Alerts and reminders
The right person hears about the right thing at the right time, and only then.
Scheduled reports
Reports that assemble and send themselves on the day your managers expect them.
Exception handling
When something doesn't fit the rules, it goes to a person with the context they need.
Related problems
Common places to start.
Software that doesn't talk
Sales has one number, finance has another, and nobody is sure which is right. Each tool is fine by itself. The trouble is in the gaps.

An order arrives by email. Someone types it into one system, then another, then a spreadsheet. It's slow and dull, and mistakes are easy to make.

The request went out on Monday. By Friday, nobody knows who has it. The person who needs to approve it never saw it, or forgot.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do we have to replace our software?
Usually not. We build around the tools you already use and leave what works alone.
How is this different from a connector tool?
Connector tools are great for simple jobs, and we'll tell you when one is enough. We step in when the process has real exceptions or matters too much to fail quietly.
What happens if something breaks?
We build in alerts and logs, so problems get noticed and fixed rather than discovered weeks later.
