The stuff that's eating your day

You know the drill. These are the tasks that take forever, happen every day, and make you wonder why you're paying someone $20/hour to do what a computer should handle automatically.

01

Chasing down unpaid invoices from clients

You send an invoice, then spend weeks following up. Send reminder emails, make awkward phone calls, track who paid what. It's tedious, it's uncomfortable, and it takes forever.

→ Saves 6 hours/week

02

Responding to the same questions over and over

Someone fills out your contact form at 9 PM. By the time you respond the next morning, they've already called your competitor. Meanwhile, you're answering the same "what's your pricing?" email for the hundredth time.

→ 3x faster responses

03

Entering the same information everywhere

Customer places an order. Now you're typing their info into QuickBooks, then your CRM, then your inventory system. Same data, three different places, because nothing talks to each other.

→ Zero double entry

The $2,000 sauce lesson

Let me tell you about the exact moment I realized businesses are hemorrhaging money on stupid tasks

I was running a $17M food business. One day, I watched my warehouse manager spend 4 hours figuring out which hot sauce expires first.

He was checking 400 cases. By hand. With a clipboard. Opening boxes, writing dates, sorting them into piles. All to answer one question: "Which sauce should we ship first?"

That's when it hit me. He makes $25/hour. Those 4 hours cost me $100. And he does this every. single. week.

$100/week × 50 weeks = $5,000/year

Just to sort hot sauce by date. For one SKU. We had 200 SKUs.

So I built a simple system. Scan the barcode when product arrives. System tracks the date. When it's time to ship, the computer tells you exactly which cases to grab. No thinking. No sorting. No clipboards.

That 4-hour task became 4 seconds.

Before vs After

BEFORE (Manual Process)

Check 400 cases by hand 45 min
Write dates on clipboard 60 min
Sort into date piles 90 min
Move to shipping area 45 min
Total Time: 4 hours

AFTER (Automated System)

Scan barcode on arrival Done
System tracks automatically Always
Click "Show FIFO Order" 2 sec
Grab the right cases 2 sec
Total Time: 4 seconds

Every business has a choice. Which path makes more sense for yours?

Hi, I'm Tom

I built and ran a $100 million Amazon business. Not dropshipping. Not courses. Real products, real warehouse, real headaches.

When you're moving that much product, manual processes will bury you. So I became obsessed with automation out of pure survival. Built systems for everything - inventory tracking, order routing, employee management, financial reporting.

The business eventually failed (that's a story for another day), but the systems I built? They worked perfectly till the very end.

Now I help Connecticut businesses build the same kind of systems. Except you get them before you're drowning, not during.

No corporate speak. No death by PowerPoint. Just systems that actually work.
