Fractional CTO · Business Systems Architect

One report your team actually acts on.

I build the layer between the tools you pay for and the people who run on them, so the right information reaches the right person at the right time. No new software. No lock-in. First deliverable in week one.

Built for businesses with momentum

Here's the thing: I'm not for everyone.

This works best for established, profitable multi-location B2B operations — distribution, wholesale, restaurant supply, heavy equipment, industrial services. You run on Google Workspace, you have real people doing real work, and nobody's job is making your tools talk to each other.

If you're pre-revenue, a one-person shop, or you already have an internal IT team orchestrating your stack, I'm probably not the right fit. But if any of these sound like your week, they're exactly what I fix:

The same report exists in several drifting versions — and nobody's sure which one is current

One form or order floods dozens of inboxes — so your team has been trained to ignore email

Scheduled jobs fail silently for weeks — and stale data goes out as if it were current

Close the gap between data and action.

Every deliverable takes data your business already generates but can't use, and turns it into something a specific person acts on that morning. No buzzwords. No science projects. Systems that run on the tools you own.

📋

Automated Reporting

One clean report your team acts on every morning, off the data you already generate. Each role gets it in the shape they can use — and margin never lands on a screen a customer can see.

Systems Audits

I find the broken, duplicated, and orphaned jobs quietly costing you — the report failing every day, the feed going to nobody, the stale numbers you've been acting on — and fix what matters first.

📈

Assortment & Margin

Once the reporting is trustworthy, it answers real P&L questions: which items earn their shelf, where margin is quietly leaking, and what to stock at which location.

One five-month engagement, by the numbers

From a single anonymized multi-location distribution engagement. The metrics are real and not inflated.

Real experience. Not just theory.

I'm not someone who read about this in a book. I serve as Fractional CTO for an established multi-location B2B company, building the operational systems their team runs on — with real staff and real customers — every day.

That means I know what actually works when you're dealing with real employees, real customers, and real business constraints — not just what looks good in a demo. More about Scott

Boutique approach — We only take projects that fit. No cookie-cutter solutions.

Humans in the loop — AI handles the repetitive work. Your team stays in control.

Progress over perfection — We start small, prove the concept, then scale what works.
