Business systems · Reporting · Controls
Your whole business on one page, every morning.
We connect your CRM, accounting, store, helpdesk, project and marketing systems into one trusted Pulse report, give every role the dashboard it needs, and set alarms that go off before problems cost money.
For owner-led companies doing $5M–$50M with 5 or more systems and no BI team.
Illustrative sample. Your Pulse uses your systems and your numbers.
The problem
Your numbers live in 5–8 systems that don’t talk to each other.
Reports take days
Someone exports the CRM, the accounting system and the store into a spreadsheet each month, and the answer arrives a week late.
Systems disagree
The CRM says the deal closed. Accounting has no invoice. Operations never got the handoff. Nobody knows which number is right.
Problems surface late
Receivables age, a sync fails quietly, ad spend runs with no leads, a job runs over budget. Customers find it before you do.
What we build
One source of truth, and the people and controls around it
The Pulse
One page, refreshed daily: Are we on plan? Where is the money? What is marketing returning? What needs attention today?
A view for every role
CEO, VP, manager and associate dashboards drawn from one metrics catalog, so nobody argues about whose number is right.
Alarms with owners
Audit rules for receivables, unbilled work, discounts, margin, SLAs and failed syncs, each routed to a named owner and logged.
How it works
Six steps, one deliverable you see every day
Assess
Interviews, a system inventory and a scored read on your data, processes and controls.
Map
A business flow diagram from lead to cash showing which system owns each record and where handoffs break.
Integrate
Make scenarios move every system’s data into one central store, with logging and error handling.
Report
The Pulse and role dashboards, reconciled to the source systems before anyone relies on them.
Control
Automated audit checks with thresholds, owners, alerts and a control register.
Enable
Optional: process documents, job descriptions and job aids that match the new system.
