10-Day Delivery
From kickoff to working system
Built for Your Team

Real Results
Visibility. Accuracy. Accountability.
Built for maintenance, facilities, service, admin, and operations teams running on Microsoft 365
Sound Familiar?
Most operations teams are stuck dealing with:
✉
Scattered Data
Information lives in spreadsheets, email threads, and sticky notes.
🕓
Manual Work
Teams waste hours updating status, chasing approvals, and re-entering data.
⚠
No Real Visibility
Managers cannot see what is open, late, assigned, or complete.
📂
Accountability Gaps
Ownership is unclear, so requests get delayed, duplicated, or dropped.
What We Build
Practical Microsoft 365 workflow systems for teams that need cleaner intake, tracking, approvals, alerts, and reporting.
📋
Request Intake Systems
Capture requests through structured forms instead of scattered emails, texts, and spreadsheets.
Examples: work requests, service requests, access requests, issue reporting.
✅
Approval Workflows
Route decisions to the right person and keep a record of who approved what.
Examples: purchase request, change approvals, manager signoffs.
📆
Operations Trackers
Give the team one place to see open work, ownership, priority, due dates, and status.
Examples: maintenance trackers, asset issue logs, shift handoffs, task boards.
📊
Alerts & Reporting
Use Teams alerts, reminders, views, and dashboards to show what needs attention.
Examples: overdue alerts, completion updates, weekly reports, status dashboards.
How the 10-Day Workflow Build Works
We start with one broken workflow, map the current process, build a cleaner version in Microsoft 365, then hand it off with documentation your team can use.
Workflow Review
We review the process causing the most friction: what starts it, who touches it, where it gets delayed, and what information is needed.
Process Map
We map the current workflow and design the cleaner version before building. This prevents building the wrong system.
Build & Test
We build the form, tracker, automations, alerts, and views using Microsoft 365 tools like Forms, Lists, Power Automate, Teams, and Excel/Power BI where needed.
Handoff & Improve
Your team gets a walkthrough, documentation and next-step recommendations so the system does not depend on memory or guesswork.
