Project Overview

1

What We Built

  • A web-based ops automation MVP that pulls from Jira/Asana, time tracking, and docs to produce client-ready updates and orchestrate internal handoffs.
  • High-value staff were spending nights compiling updates and chasing approvals instead of focusing on strategy and delivery.
  • Ideal for: Agencies tired of manual reporting and coordination, Consultancies wanting more leverage from existing tools, Ops teams building automation layers on top of PM systems
2

The Challenge

  • Agencies stitch together multiple tools but still rely on spreadsheets, email threads, and manual work to manage delivery and communication.
  • Manual weekly and monthly reporting
  • Messy handoffs between sales, delivery, and success
  • Lack of visibility into project health until it’s too late
3

Our Solution

  • Start with a small set of high-value automations (report generation and handoff checklists) tightly integrated with the agency’s existing stack.
  • Focus first on reporting for retainers and fixed-fee projects
  • Encode checklists for handoffs (sales → delivery → success)
  • Use AI to draft narratives and emails that humans can quickly review and send
4

Results & Impact

  • The agency reduced manual reporting time by hours per account per month and tightened handoffs, leading to fewer surprises and higher client satisfaction.
  • Proves ROI of an ops automation layer
  • Creates a repeatable template for similar agencies
  • Builds a strong case for a productized service or SaaS spin-out
