How Elevate Increased Consulting Efficiency by 70%
Discover how we transformed Elevate Consulting’s operations by automating lead qualification, proposal generation, client onboarding, consultant collaboration, project delivery, executive reporting and knowledge management using Airtable, ClickUp, Make.com, OpenAI, Slack and Google Workspace.
Building A Connected Consulting Operations Platform
Elevate Consulting needed a centralized operating system to manage leads, proposals, projects, consultants, client communication and executive reporting. Instead of relying on disconnected spreadsheets and manual processes, we designed one integrated platform that automated every stage of the consulting lifecycle.
Business Objectives
- Automate lead qualification and proposal creation.
- Centralize client, project and consultant information.
- Standardize project delivery workflows.
- Reduce administrative work through automation.
- Provide executives with real-time business visibility.
- Improve collaboration across consultants and clients.
Consulting Projects Were Running Across Too Many Tools
As Elevate Consulting expanded its client base, consultants were managing leads, proposals, projects, documents and communications across disconnected applications. Manual processes slowed delivery, reduced visibility and consumed valuable consulting hours.
Before
- ❌ Leads tracked in spreadsheets
- ❌ Proposals created manually
- ❌ Client documents scattered across folders
- ❌ Consultants chasing project updates
- ❌ No centralized project visibility
- ❌ Executive reporting took hours each week
After
- ✅ AI-qualified consulting leads
- ✅ Automated proposal generation
- ✅ Centralized client workspace
- ✅ Standardized project delivery
- ✅ Real-time executive dashboards
- ✅ Automated reporting & notifications
