Customer stories

Proof, not promises.

Trades, construction and manufacturing businesses that ran on spreadsheets, memory and missed follow-ups, and the AI systems we built instead.

Case study 01

A warehouse and twelve vans. One system that keeps count.

Car park services group
Car park services group Trades · NSW · ~$30MLive

The mess

$30M of car park work ran on spreadsheets and memory. Stock lived in people's heads, job kits were built from parts that existed nowhere, and nobody knew what any job actually cost.

The build

We built the operating layer on the software they already owned. Stock for the warehouse and every van, reorder alerts, job costing, a live fleet dashboard. Then we trained the team to run it without us.

Case study 02

Five systems that never spoke. One record everyone trusts.

Sports infrastructure manufacturer Manufacturing · national · ~$10MLive

The mess

~100 contracts a year at a $260K average quote, with quoting, projects, inventory, accounting and email in five silos, re-keyed by hand. Sales quoted stock the company didn't have, and a date change took days to reach the warehouse.

The build

We connected all five into one live project feed. Entered once, visible everywhere: real stock for sales, automatic alerts when dates move, completion evidence back before the invoice goes out.

Case study 03

$6.4M of jobs, zero reports. Now it chases everything itself.

Water irrigation group
Water irrigation group Irrigation services · ~$8MLive

The mess

The job platform was installed but never configured: every job at $0 budget, 95% falsely flagged overdue, 58 leads sitting cold. The owner was the reporting system.

The build

We configured the platform they were already paying for, put $6.4M of work on a live dashboard, then automated the leaks: quote follow-ups, lead re-engagement, invoice chasing and a weekly report.

Case study 04

Floor plans, councils, phones. The AI handles all three.

Heating products manufacturer Manufacturing · 65 staff · ~$20MLive

The mess

Every quote started with hand-measuring a scanned apartment plan. The team's #1 bottleneck. Council development applications were spotted by luck, and follow-up ran on memory.

The build

We built a document-AI pipeline that reads the plans and drafts the quote for human approval, monitoring agents that watch every council daily, and an AI receptionist with five outbound voice campaigns.
