An operation running on memory and manual effort
The client's leasing arm managed a growing book of contracts across spreadsheets, shared folders and email. Lease documents were prepared by hand for every deal. Payment schedules lived in separate files. Equipment records sat in another system entirely — and the accounting handoff was retyped into QuickBooks.
Nobody could answer "where is this contract?" or "what's invoicing next month?" without digging. Every new hire inherited tribal knowledge instead of a process.
Before
- Contracts tracked in spreadsheets
- Documents prepared manually per deal
- Payment schedules in separate files
- Accounting data re-entered by hand
- No pipeline visibility for management
Five phases. One connected operating workflow.
Delivered January through April 2026 — now in go-live.
Measured, operational outcomes
The team spends far less time chasing document status, and management finally has a live view of the contract and payment pipeline.
We went from ‘where is this contract?’ to ‘here's everything in one view.’ The difference is night and day.
The onboarding alone used to take hours per contract. Now it runs itself.
Your workflow could be next.
If your contracts, invoices or onboarding still run on spreadsheets and email, let's map what a connected version looks like.
