Three deployments, and what each one opened.
Each names the client, what they ran before, and what changed. Where a deployment qualified a business for work it could not previously bid for, that is the headline rather than the efficiency saving.
Goodwin Roofs
From handwritten invoices to a national framework, in one deployment.
Admitted to the Pagabo Small Works DPS — contracts up to £3m.
A Wix website, receipts kept to hand and forwarded to an accountant, and invoices written out by hand. Nothing that could evidence how a job had been carried out.
A QA system with stage-gated checks, a health and safety management system, accounting, invoicing, purchasing, helpdesk, CRM and the website — all in Odoo, all on the same records.
The DPS application asks for evidence, not assurances. Because every job now produces its own quality record, competence trail and documentation as a by-product of being completed, the submission was a report rather than a project.
Laleham Camping Club
A West London camping site that was renting access to its own repeat customers.
Direct bookings, no commission on returning guests, and safety documents at a fraction of a penny on the pound.
A WordPress website, a physical diary, and site management software old enough that it only showed which pitches were occupied. Every booking arrived through an affiliate, including from guests who had stayed before.
A custom booking system, a health and safety management system, fault reporting, accounting, the website, helpdesk, CRM and email marketing. Employee management and QA systems are still being extended.
Everything under one roof. Safety document production fell from £80–100 per document to pennies. Complaints arising from site faults dropped 60–80%, because a fault reported on the ground now reaches whoever fixes it and closes with evidence. Commission on repeat bookings stopped entirely.
GoKayak
Watersports equipment hire, built from nothing before it opened.
£3,000 of sales in the first month, and building through the season.
Nothing. A start-up with no systems, no website and no trading history, in a seasonal market where the first summer decides the second.
The website and SEO, a bespoke fleet management system, a bespoke handover reporting and inspection system, accounting, a payment provider, email marketing, helpdesk and CRM.
Hiring out equipment means proving its condition at handover and on return. Every hire produces a dated inspection record against the specific item, which is both a liability position and the basis for knowing when a hull is due for retirement.
We would rather show you the system than describe it.
Ask on the call and we will walk you through a live deployment — the one whose operation looks most like yours.
