Simplify Operations.
No New Software.
Too many steps. Too little time.

Growth Shouldn't Mean Chaos.
As companies grow, systems that once worked begin to strain. Tasks pile up, errors multiply, and teams lose clarity. Adding more software often adds more complexity.
We simplify what you already have.

RBC — Workflow Automation Proof
Tactical process win that supports scalable operations
Context
An instructor in RBC’s investment training division (20–40 trainees) spent hours weekly giving individualized feedback. We targeted a single workflow as a quick, measurable win.
Challenge
Manual review of dozens of email attachments and spreadsheets consumed ~8 hours each week and delayed follow-ups with at-risk students.
Approach
Built a two-part Excel/VBA system: validated student trackers (one-click submit) and a master dashboard (one-click import, analytics, at-risk flags, auto-drafted replies). A focused process fix that demonstrates the kind of execution discipline our framework scales company-wide.
Outcome
- • 94% reduction in admin time (8 hrs → 30 mins)
- • Real-time visibility across the cohort
- • Repeatable process pattern for future classes
“What used to take me a full day now takes less than an hour — and my feedback is better.” — RBC Instructor
