Do we need technical staff?

No. We build, host, and monitor everything. Your team uses their existing tools exactly as before. There is no learning curve and no IT involvement required.

What tools can you connect?

Any platform with an API or webhook: CRMs, email, calendar, invoicing, social media, SMS, Slack, Google Workspace, QuickBooks, and hundreds more. If it has a connection point, we can build around it.

What happens if an automation breaks?

Monitoring catches failures in real time. Trawler and Sportfisher tiers include proactive optimization — we identify issues before they affect your operations.

How do you measure ROI?

Every engagement includes baseline measurement. We track time saved, tasks automated, and revenue impact monthly. You always know exactly what the automation is worth.

How long does setup take?

Skiff tier: 5–7 days. Trawler: 10–14 days. Sportfisher: 3–4 weeks depending on workflow complexity and the number of tools being integrated.

Do we need to change how our team works?

No workflow changes required. Automation runs behind the scenes. Your team uses the same tools they use today — they simply get more done with less manual effort.

The Problem

Manual work is costing you

Every hour your team spends on repetitive tasks is an hour not spent on growth. And every missed automation is a process waiting to break.

Leads go cold

Average response time is 47 hours. Competitors with automation respond in 5 minutes. Every hour of delay is a deal walking out the door.

Tasks fall through cracks

Missed follow-ups, forgotten invoices, skipped review requests. Manual processes depend on memory — and memory is unreliable.

Your tools operate in silos

CRM, email, calendar, invoicing — zero integration, manual data entry between each. You are paying for software that does not talk to itself.

You are the bottleneck

Every process requires your involvement. Vacation or a busy week means nothing moves forward. Your business stops when you stop.
