Your software should fit your business.

There's no shortage of software, vendors, and AI promises. I help you figure out what matters for your business, and get it done.

What the report tells you

Keep what fits.

Most of what you run probably works for you. The report says what to leave alone, and when to look again.

Cut what doesn't pay for itself.

Suites you barely use and tools that do the same job twice.

Connect what's left.

Join the systems you keep so data moves on its own and nobody types it twice.

The report

Every finding shows its math.

What it costs you today, the hours to fix it, how long it takes, and when it pays for itself. Same template every time, so you can check the reasoning and decide for yourself.

How it works

The details
01

Catalog

Every system, vendor, contract, and integration, plus the work your people do by hand to bridge the gaps.

02

Report

A written plan, ranked by what each problem costs you, presented in person.

03

Do the work

I can do it for you, or help you find and vet the right vendor and keep them to the plan. Your choice.

On your side, start to finish

My recommendations come from one place: what your business actually needs.

AI that earns its keep

Maybe you've tried AI and seen what's possible, but can't get it the rest of the way. I help you finish what's worth finishing, and tell you plainly where it isn't.

Where the work happens

Shop floors, job sites, and front desks.

Who you'll work with

For 25 years I've helped organizations get work off paper and out of people's heads, into systems that talk to each other. Now I bring that work to businesses here in southwest Michigan.
