The Challenge

What they were facing

A growing consulting firm was spending 15+ hours weekly on manual client onboarding, data entry, and document collection. Staff was overwhelmed and errors were common.

Key Pain Points

  • Manual data entry across multiple systems (CRM, project management, accounting)
  • Paper-based document collection causing delays and lost documents
  • Inconsistent client experiences based on who handled the intake
  • Staff spending valuable time on repetitive tasks instead of client work
  • Frequent errors requiring rework and damaging client relationships
The Solution

How we solved it

We implemented an AI-powered intake system that automatically collects client information through smart forms, validates data in real-time, and creates records across their CRM, project management, and accounting tools simultaneously.
