Operations Audit in 5–7 Working Days
We take one core workflow — estimating, job scheduling, material tracking, or order flow — map its operational bottlenecks, build a clickable core-flow prototype (5–6 screens), and deliver a written fixed-price build specification. Operations Audit — from $1,000, 5–7 working days. Over $1,000 only if we review multiple workflows.
Free 30-min fit call. If an audit isn't worth it for you, we will tell you straight away on the call.
Built for businesses that move materials, crews and orders
Our team pairs a software architect with a background in physical manufacturing operations. We read a cut list or a bill of materials as easily as a PostgreSQL database schema. That matters when your process involves real-world quantities, not just CRM contacts.
Construction, installation & field service (roofing, HVAC, glazing, metal structures)
Site measurements that turn into quotes, material takeoffs and cut lists, crew scheduling, actual vs. estimated material usage per job.
Logistics, warehousing & distribution
Shipment and stock movement tracking, carrier claims and returns handling, handoffs between warehouse, freight haulers, and QuickBooks accounts.
B2B manufacturing
Orders tracked through production stages, BOM-based costing, and lightweight portals for teams that have outgrown Excel but do not need SAP or NetSuite.
Is this the right fit?
Good fit
- 10–200 person teams running a core process on spreadsheets, emails, chats, and disconnected tools.
- Repeated manual work: estimates, takeoff calculations, material orders, scheduling, and invoicing.
- Owners & operations leads who want a clear plan, prototype, and fixed price before committing build budget.
Not a fit
- You need a marketing website or a quick one-off script.
- You want to skip business discovery and immediately jump into coding without validating the operational flow.
- No one who actually runs the process day-to-day can spare 2–3 hours with us that week.
- You expect working enterprise software for $1,000. The audit tells you what to build, how it works, and what it costs.
How the 5–7 working days work
The clock starts at kickoff: once we have time with the process owner and access to your spreadsheets or current tools (or a screen-share walkthrough if you prefer not to grant direct access).
Discovery & Intake
About 3 hours: a 30-min kickoff, two 45-min interviews and a 45-min walkthrough. Bring 5–10 real examples — past quotes, orders or claims.
Workflow Bottleneck Analysis
We map every step, handoff, and re-entry point, identifying operational drag and defining the business logic and role permissions required.
Clickable Prototype (5–6 Screens)
An interactive prototype of the key workflow (5–6 screens), built around your real operational terminology and business data.
Walkthrough & Fixed-Price Spec
We walk you through the clickable prototype on a live call, deliver the bottleneck analysis and written build specification, and provide a fixed-price proposal.
What You Get
Workflow bottleneck analysis, a clickable core-flow prototype (5–6 screens), and a written fixed-price build specification & quote. Yours to keep, whoever builds it.
Workflow Bottleneck Mapping
Every manual step, duplicate entry, and operational friction point mapped from intake to delivery. You see exactly where work stalls and which automated flow creates immediate leverage.
Clickable Prototype of Your System
5–6 key screens of an interactive prototype showing how your team will create an estimate, schedule a crew, or track material stock. Your team can click through it in a browser and verify the workflow before any development starts.
Written Build Scope
A written specification detailing the exact screens, calculation rules, user roles, and third-party integrations (QuickBooks, ERP, spreadsheets) upon which the build quote is based.
Fixed-Scope, Fixed-Price Quote
Scope, milestones, timeline and a fixed build price based on written assumptions. Valid for 60 days. You decide whether to build with us, in-house, or another vendor.
Operations Audit
What's Included
Workflow bottleneck mapping · Clickable core-flow prototype (5–6 screens) · Written fixed-price build specification & quote. Yours to keep, whoever builds it.
100% Audit Credit toward Custom CRM Build
Audit fee: Over $1,000 only if we review multiple workflows. 100% credited toward the CRM build ($15k–$35k) if you start within 60 days.
Who you'll work with
Two founders: a manufacturing engineer turned software architect, and a B2B product designer. The engineer who designs your system writes and reviews its code. No account managers, no junior handoffs.
Questions about the Operations Audit
Straight answers about scoping, intellectual property ownership, time commitments, and build credit.
Stop paying for the same manual work every week
Start with a 5–7 working day audit. You'll map operational bottlenecks, test a clickable prototype, and receive a fixed-price build specification before you commit to development.
