Technology for Other Small Businesses
Most of the businesses we work with do not fit a category page, and it does not matter. The problems rhyme even when the businesses do not.
What usually brings people to us
The technology that tends to fix it
Not all of it, and not at once. We start with whichever one of these is costing you the most right now.
Find the repeat work
The first thing we look for, because it is the cheapest thing to fix.
Connect what you already own
Usually less expensive than buying anything new.
Replace the fragile spreadsheet
A small tool with proper access, history and no fighting over versions.
Cut what you are not using
A subscription review pays for itself more often than not.
Answer customers faster
Almost always where the revenue is hiding.
Reports you can trust
So decisions stop being arguments about whose numbers are right.
The spreadsheet six people are fighting over
- One spreadsheet holds the important information
- Six people edit it, sometimes at once
- Somebody keeps a private copy to be safe
- A formula broke in March and nobody is sure when
- Only one person really understands it
One fragile file, one person who understands it, and real risk if either goes.
- A small purpose-built tool replaces the file
- Everybody sees the same current information
- Who changed what, and when, is recorded
- Access matches the job, so nothing gets broken by accident
- Reports come out of it instead of being rebuilt
Something the whole team can use, that survives somebody leaving.
What you should get out of it
- Hours back from work that repeats
- Fewer systems and a smaller software bill
- A business that does not depend on one person's memory
- An honest answer about what to do next
Not sure where to start?
A $300 Technology Briefing gets you an hour together plus hours of research, and a written report inside a week. If you hire us afterwards, the $300 comes off the price.
How pricing worksCommon questions
We are not a technology business. Will we understand any of this?
Yes. That is the job. If you cannot explain it to your bookkeeper, it is not finished.
What if the answer is that we do not need anything?
Then that is what we tell you, and the free call has just saved you money.
Other industries
Let us work out what you actually need.
Thirty minutes, free, and nobody pitches you at the end. Bring us the part of your week you hate and we will tell you honestly whether technology can fix it.
