BoxCart: the build that paid for itself.

The challenge

Leads went cold in the gaps: web inquiry to first response averaged nineteen hours, quotes took days, and follow-up depended on whoever remembered.

Every competitor responding in minutes was converting the demand our client's own marketing was paying to generate.

The approach

We mapped the operation first: every handoff, every re-typing, every spreadsheet whose real name should have been a database column. Automation targets emerged ordered by hours per week.

Workflows shipped as products: owners, runbooks, failure alerts and quarterly kill-reviews. Anything client-facing got a human checkpoint; anything internal got measured in hours returned.

AI entered where it's strong: drafts, summaries, extraction from the company's own documents — never unattended in front of a customer.

  • CRM hygiene pass: field standards and required properties
  • Reporting pipeline: assemble once, read forever
  • Tool consolidation with documented data terms
  • Operations map with automation targets ranked by hours/week
