Live subscription performance and a month-end that closes without manual consolidation.

Details

  • Executive dashboards Commercial and financial reporting that reconciles CRM and ledger continuously, without a single manual export.

A complete capital-raising package from a standing start.

  • Market study Demand, competitive set and positioning for the region.
  • Financial modelling Operating and capital model with scenarios, built to be defended in a room.

A month-end close that used to span four systems, now one reconciled process.

Details
The client
A multidisciplinary pediatric therapy provider.
The situation

What we did
  • Systems architecture One data model across the clinical, billing, payroll and accounting platforms.
  • AI-assisted reconciliation Sessions, claims, payroll and ledger matched automatically into a single close.
  • Reporting layer Operational and financial reporting the management team can read without waiting for a close.
  • Business and operations modelling The operating model rebuilt as a model: therapist capacity, session mix, payer economics and cost to serve, so growth decisions are made on the numbers behind them.

  • Custom applications The internal tooling built on top of the ERP for the workflows the product did not cover.
  • Payments architecture Four payment platforms and the banking layer unified into one reconciled flow.

Origination that no longer depends on referral flow alone.

Details
The client
An FCA-authorised finance brokerage placing commercial and property facilities from £10K to £30M.

  • Credit signal sourcing Company filings, risk data and firmographics combined to identify businesses actively seeking finance.
  • Campaign intelligence Campaigns designed by borrower type and facility, with the messaging and the target list built from the same signal.
  • Sales enablement The material, scripts and qualification criteria the brokers work from, so every conversation starts the same way.
  • Sales consulting The commercial process itself redesigned: who is approached, by whom, in what order and against what target.
  • CRM architecture The pipeline structured so origination is measured rather than assumed.

A geographic, prioritised pipeline built from data that was already public.

Details
The client

The situation
Opportunities were already public, in tender records and official documentation, but nobody was reading them systematically. The commercial team worked from relationships and timing.
What we did
  • Official bulletin intelligence Public gazettes and tender records read systematically to detect works, concessions and procurement before they reach the market.
  • Geospatial intelligence Sites, plants and infrastructure located and scored geographically, so the commercial team works a map rather than a list.
  • Energy plant identification Existing generation and industrial plants identified and profiled by type, capacity and operator.
  • Solar opportunity detection Roofs, land and industrial sites screened for photovoltaic installation potential and consumption profile.
  • Competitive mapping The competitive field mapped by segment, geography and contract type.

What we did

  • Commercial automation The enquiry-to-contract flow automated so nothing depends on remembering to follow up.
  • Production scheduling Shoot and post-production capacity planned against the booked calendar.

José Ignacio, Uruguay · 2026 · Architecture & Urban Planning

Delivery that no longer requires the founders on every project.

Details
The client
An architecture, urban planning and interior design studio.
The situation

What we did
