Case Studies

A 42-person equipment service business replaced whiteboard dispatching and group-chat updates with an Airtable system connected to Google Calendar, Make, Gmail, and Google Drive. The design gives dispatchers clearer assignments, technicians structured job details, customers consistent status messages, and managers measurable operational data.

A fictional maintenance contractor replaces phone, paper, and messaging-based tracking with connected intake, scheduling, assignment, photo, completion, and confirmation workflows. Google Forms, Airtable, Make, and Gmail provide a practical operational record, timely alerts, overdue escalation, and measurable work-order reporting.

A finance team replaced spreadsheet-by-spreadsheet transaction matching with standardized Excel imports, deterministic Power Query matching, controlled fuzzy suggestions, exception review, and Power Automate approvals. The resulting process retained QuickBooks Online while adding clearer ownership, repeatable controls, and durable reconciliation evidence.

A fictional industrial distributor replaced manual invoice comparisons with a controlled three-way matching workflow. Microsoft Forms captures invoices and receipts, SharePoint holds the records and evidence, Power Automate applies matching rules, and Microsoft Teams coordinates exceptions and approvals.

A three-warehouse distributor replaced visual stock checks with a replenishment workflow that records inventory movements, calculates reorder points, creates purchasing alerts, and presents location-level dashboards using Google Sheets, AppSheet, Apps Script, and Looker Studio.

A facilities services firm needed to stop vendor agreements from renewing without review. The implemented workflow combines Microsoft Forms, SharePoint, Power Automate, and DocuSign to schedule reviews, assign owners, document decisions, obtain signatures, and archive executed terms.

A wholesale distributor replaced disconnected supplier-review spreadsheets and email approvals with a controlled Microsoft 365 workflow. Microsoft Forms captures period data, Microsoft Lists tracks scorecards, Power Automate routes exceptions and approvals, and SharePoint preserves evidence, actions, and meeting outputs.

A fictional industrial distributor replaces disconnected savings spreadsheets with controlled submissions, evidence folders, finance approvals, reminders, and transparent realized-savings calculations built with Google Forms, Sheets, Drive, and Apps Script.

A fictional packaging distributor replaces scattered supplier emails and spreadsheets with structured document intake, controlled reviews, DocuSign signature requests, secure file storage, and automated expiry reminders. Airtable and Make provide a central record of requirements, submissions, approvals, exceptions, and renewal activity.
