Stop Drowning in Manual Workarounds
Your team is spending hours every week on tasks that could run automatically:
- Pulling reports from multiple systems and reconciling the data
- Manually copying information between your ERP, CRM, and other tools
- Reformatting spreadsheets and sending the same update emails
- Entering data twice (or three times) because systems don’t talk to each other
This isn’t just annoying – it’s costing you real money.
Every hour spent on manual busywork is an hour not spent on growing your business, serving customers, or solving real problems.
That’s where I come in.
I build automated workflows that eliminate repetitive tasks, connect your disconnected systems, and free your team to focus on work that actually moves the needle.
No fluff. No jargon. Just practical automation that delivers measurable results.
How I Can Help
Workflow Automation
The Problem:
Your team is stuck in a manual data loop. Someone pulls a report from BuildOps. Someone else exports data from SAP. A third person spends their Friday afternoon reconciling everything in Excel and uploading it somewhere else.
You’ve been doing this for months – maybe years. Your team knows it’s inefficient, but “that’s just how we do it.”
Meanwhile, you’re paying people to do work that software could handle in seconds.
The Solution:
I build custom automated workflows that connect your systems and eliminate manual data handling. Your data flows automatically between tools, reports generate themselves, and your team gets their time back.
What’s Included:
- Process audit to identify high-value automation opportunities
- Custom workflow design and development
- System integrations (ERP, CRM, BI tools, field service software)
- Testing and validation to ensure accuracy
- Complete documentation and team training
- Post-launch support and optimization
Real Results:
- 10-20 hours saved per week (typical)
- 90%+ reduction in manual data entry errors
- 24/7 automated processing – no weekends, no delays
- ROI in 4-6 months through time savings alone
Examples of What I Automate:
- Automatic data sync between field service software and accounting systems
- Report generation and distribution (daily, weekly, monthly)
- Invoice processing and approval routing
- Inventory updates across multiple platforms
- Customer data synchronization
- Order processing and fulfillment workflows
Typical Timeline: 6-12 weeks depending on complexity
Investment: $10,000 – $35,000 per workflow
AI-Enhanced Automation
The Problem:
Some tasks can’t be automated with simple rules. They require judgment, pattern recognition, or the ability to process messy, unstructured information – like reading invoices, analyzing equipment data, or categorizing customer requests.
Your team is spending hours doing analysis and data extraction that’s too complex for basic automation but too repetitive to be a good use of their expertise.
The Solution:
I add AI capabilities to your workflows for tasks that need intelligence, not just automation. The AI handles routine decisions and data processing while your team stays in control for anything that matters.
Think: practical AI that saves real time on real tasks, not science fiction.
What’s Included:
- AI opportunity assessment and strategy
- Smart document processing (invoices, purchase orders, reports, forms)
- Intelligent data extraction and categorization
- Pattern detection and predictive alerts
- Automated report and summary generation
- Human oversight protocols and quality controls
- Ongoing monitoring and optimization
Real-World Applications:
- Document Processing: Automatically extract all data from vendor invoices, route to approval workflows
- Predictive Maintenance: Analyze service ticket patterns to predict equipment failures before they happen
- Intelligent Reporting: Generate weekly performance summaries from your BI data – no manual analysis required
- Smart Routing: Auto-categorize and route customer inquiries to the right team member
- Data Quality: Identify inconsistencies and errors in your data before they cause problems
This Isn’t Magic – It’s Practical:
I don’t sell AI transformation or revolutionary technology. I implement specific, proven AI capabilities that solve specific problems and save measurable time.
You stay in control. The AI handles the grunt work.
Typical Timeline: 8-16 weeks depending on scope
Investment: $18,000 – $55,000
Automation Roadmap & ROI Analysis
The Problem:
You know automation could help your business. You can see the manual work piling up. But you don’t know:
- Where to start
- What’s actually possible with your current systems
- What would give you the biggest return
- How much it would cost vs. how much you’d save
Your IT vendor says “that’s not supported.” Your team is too buried in the day-to-day to think strategically. And you’re not sure who to trust.
The Solution:
I spend 2-3 weeks analyzing how your business actually operates, identify the highest-value automation opportunities, and build you a clear, prioritized roadmap with honest ROI projections.
What You Get:
- Current state assessment: I map your existing processes, data flows, and pain points
- Automation opportunity analysis: Identify what can be automated (workflow automation + AI)
- Prioritized roadmap: Quick wins → medium-term projects → long-term opportunities
- ROI calculations: Projected time savings, cost reduction, and payback period for each initiative
- Technology recommendations: What tools and approaches make sense for your specific situation
- Implementation estimates: Realistic timelines and budget ranges for each project
- 90-minute presentation: I walk you through the findings, answer questions, and help you decide next steps
This Is Your Starting Point:
If you’re not sure where automation would help most, start here. Most clients who complete a roadmap move forward with implementation – but there’s no obligation.
Even if we don’t work together on implementation, you’ll walk away with a clear plan and honest assessment of what’s possible.
Typical Timeline: 2-3 weeks
Investment: $6,000 – $10,000
How We Work Together
Simple Process. Clear Communication. Real Results.
Step 1: Discovery Call (20 minutes, free)
We talk about what’s driving you crazy with your current processes. I ask questions. You tell me about the manual work that’s eating up your team’s time.
No sales pitch. Just a conversation to see if I can actually help.
Step 2: Assessment & Proposal (1-2 weeks)
If it makes sense to work together, I’ll:
- Review your systems and current workflows
- Identify specific automation opportunities
- Propose a solution with clear scope, timeline, and cost
- Show you exactly what you’ll get and how much time/money you’ll save
You get a written proposal with no surprises and no hidden fees.
Step 3: Implementation (varies by project)
Once you approve the proposal, I get to work:
- Regular progress updates (weekly or bi-weekly)
- Transparent communication – if something changes, you’ll know immediately
- Testing and validation at every stage
- Your team stays involved but not buried in technical details
I handle the technical complexity. You stay focused on running your business.
Step 4: Delivery & Training (1-2 weeks)
When the automation is ready:
- Thorough testing to ensure everything works correctly
- Complete documentation so your team knows how it operates
- Hands-on training for anyone who needs to interact with the system
- Go-live support to make sure the transition is smooth
Step 5: Ongoing Support
After launch:
- Post-implementation check-ins to ensure everything’s running smoothly
- Troubleshooting support if anything breaks
- Optimization recommendations as your business evolves
- Optional ongoing maintenance and enhancement
What You Should Know Before We Start
I believe in being upfront about how this actually works.
My Availability Is Limited
King Solutions Group is currently a boutique operation. I’m selective about the projects I take on to ensure I can deliver quality work and give each client the attention they deserve.
This means:
- I may not be able to start immediately
- Timelines are estimates – I’ll give you a realistic schedule during our discovery process
- I prioritize quality over speed
If you need someone who can start tomorrow and work 80-hour weeks, I’m not your guy. If you want thoughtful, high-quality work from someone who actually cares about results, let’s talk.
Timelines Are Estimates
Every business is different. Every project has surprises. The timelines listed above are based on typical projects of similar complexity.
During our initial conversations, I’ll give you a specific timeline for your situation based on:
- Your system complexity
- Integration requirements
- My current project queue
- Your team’s availability for input and testing
I’d rather under-promise and over-deliver than the reverse.
This Isn’t a Magic Bullet
Automation solves specific, well-defined problems. It eliminates manual work, reduces errors, and saves time.
It won’t fix unclear processes, poor data quality, or organizational dysfunction (though it might make those issues more obvious).
The best automation projects start with:
- Clear understanding of current processes
- Stakeholder buy-in from your team
- Realistic expectations about what automation can and can’t do
I’ll be honest with you about what’s possible, what’s not, and where you might need to clean things up before automation makes sense.
Who I Work With
I specialize in operational businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but don’t need enterprise software.
Industries:
- Commercial HVAC & MEP Contractors
- Manufacturing & Distribution
- Construction & Specialty Trades
- Healthcare Services
- Professional Services
Company Size: Typically 50-500 employees – large enough to have real operational complexity, small enough that you’re not buried in corporate bureaucracy.
Best Fit Clients:
- You have multiple systems that don’t talk to each other
- Your team spends 10+ hours per week on manual data work
- You’re growing and the manual workarounds are getting painful
- You want practical solutions, not cutting-edge experiments
- You value quality over the cheapest possible price
Not a Good Fit:
- You need a website redesign (I don’t do that anymore)
- You want someone to manage your entire IT infrastructure
- You’re looking for the absolute cheapest option
- You need someone to start tomorrow with no planning
Pricing & Investment
I believe in transparent pricing. Here’s what to expect:
Project-Based Pricing:
Most automation projects are priced as fixed-fee engagements based on scope and complexity:
- Workflow Automation: $10,000 – $35,000
- AI-Enhanced Automation: $18,000 – $55,000
- Automation Roadmap: $6,000 – $10,000
What Determines the Price:
- Number of systems being integrated
- Complexity of data transformations required
- Custom development vs. using existing tools
- Timeline constraints
- Ongoing support requirements
Monthly Retainers:
For ongoing automation support and enhancement:
- $2,000 – $5,000/month depending on scope
ROI Reality:
Most automation projects pay for themselves in 4-8 months through time savings alone.
Example: If your team saves 15 hours per week ($750/week at $50/hour loaded cost), that’s $39,000 in annual savings. A $15,000 automation project pays back in about 5 months.
Common Questions
Q: How long does a typical project take?
A: Most workflow automation projects take 6-12 weeks from kickoff to go-live. AI-enhanced projects typically run 8-16 weeks. The Automation Roadmap is a focused 2-3 week engagement.
The actual timeline depends on your system complexity, how quickly we can get access and information, and my current project queue. I’ll give you a specific timeline during our discovery process.
Q: Do I need to have technical knowledge to work with you?
A: Not at all. I work directly with business owners and operations managers who understand their processes but aren’t technical. I’ll handle all the technical details and explain everything in plain English.
Q: What if my systems are old or proprietary?
A: Most systems can be integrated even if they’re older or custom-built. During our discovery process, I’ll assess what’s possible. In 15+ years, I’ve rarely encountered a system that truly can’t be connected to others – it just takes creativity.
Q: Will automation replace my employees?
A: No. Automation eliminates tedious manual work so your employees can focus on higher-value tasks that actually require human judgment. Most of my clients reallocate freed-up time to customer service, sales, or strategic work – they don’t reduce headcount.
Q: What happens if something breaks after you’re done?
A: All projects include post-launch support to handle any issues that come up. For ongoing peace of mind, many clients opt for a monthly support retainer. I also document everything thoroughly so your team can handle basic troubleshooting.
Q: Can you work with my existing IT team/vendor?
A: Absolutely. I regularly collaborate with internal IT teams and external vendors. I’m not here to replace anyone – just to solve specific automation challenges.
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: For projects over $20,000, I typically structure payments as:
- 1/3 at project kickoff
- 1/3 at midpoint milestone
- 1/3 at final delivery
Smaller projects are usually 50% upfront, 50% at completion.
Q: What if I’m not sure automation is right for my business?
A: That’s exactly what the Automation Roadmap is for. It’s a low-risk way to get a clear assessment of whether automation makes sense for you, where the opportunities are, and what the ROI would look like.
