What the audit found, and what shipped after.
Every engagement starts with a mess of spreadsheets, Slack threads, or a product idea on a napkin. Here's what a handful of them looked like by handoff.
A 13-module property operating system, built entirely on the free Notion plan.
The problem: Lease agreements lived in outdated spreadsheets, compliance documents like gas safety certificates and EPCs had no expiry alerts, and financial reporting meant manually consolidating three separate systems every month, one missed renewal away from a compliance risk.
"Before this, leases were in random spreadsheets and gas certificates were in some folder nobody checked. As a landlord that stuff genuinely worries me: missing a compliance deadline isn't just annoying, it's a legal problem. Now I get flagged before anything expires."
Three tools, and a wall of WhatsApp threads, replaced by one CEO dashboard.
The problem: Client relationships lived in WhatsApp, project status was scattered across separate spreadsheets, and leadership started every morning chasing "where are we on this?" with no single source of truth.
"We were running the whole company off WhatsApp group chats, I'm not joking. Every morning was just people asking me where things stood. Took about a week to get everyone onto one dashboard, and now I actually know what's happening."
A six-stage hiring pipeline that stopped losing candidates between "phone screen" and "we'll get back to you."
The problem: The existing workspace had no defined pipeline and a dashboard nobody opened. Candidates fell through the cracks with no shared source of truth, and the team fell back on emails and side conversations to track status.
"Honestly our old setup was a mess. We had a dashboard sitting there but nobody actually opened it, and candidates just fell through the cracks. Now I check it every morning. Time-to-hire dropped 40%, which we weren't even expecting."
An automated owner-portal system built for commission logic no template could handle.
The problem: Managing properties for multiple owners meant private financial dashboards for each (gross revenue, commission, net payout, expenses) plus a unified calendar across bookings, cleaning, and maintenance, all within Notion's permission limits.
"A new team member was fully onboarded in 48 hours. Every owner now receives a private branded dashboard with their earnings: no Excel, no manual PDF reports, no back-and-forth on numbers."
