The Challenge

What was holding them back?

"Sales team spending 15 hours per week on proposal creation. Proposal quality inconsistent across team. Lead response time averaging 48 hours. Pipeline visibility was limited. Proposals were getting lost in email threads."

Melbourne Creative Agency was facing significant operational hurdles. Manual processes were not only slow but error-prone, leading to client dissatisfaction and team burnout. The lack of scalable systems meant that taking on new business required linear headcount growth, crushing margins.

Manual Bottlenecks

Key staff spent ~40% of their week on low-value data entry instead of strategic work.

Data Fragmentation

Critical business data was siloed in disparate spreadsheets, making real-time reporting impossible.
