The problem. Wakkaball is a small owner-managed e-commerce games brand selling through its own website and a marketplace listing. Its paid social advertising had been working well until the ad account was disrupted and sales activity stopped.
What we advised. The steer was to put structure and automation around the sales channels so the business does not depend on one person. AI-supported advertising tools were advised to keep campaigns on track and cut wasted spend, with email automation to make proper use of the existing customer list.
The problem. Across four salons the systems were not connected, and the till only synced at the end of the day. There was no live view of stock or sales across the branches, and sales did not flow into the accounts, leaving the owner many hours of manual uploading each period.
What we advised. We advised a retail POS and stock system with live data across all four salons, tied to the website and the accounts so sales and stock stay in step. This ends the manual uploading, gives management a live view across the group, and lets online availability reflect what is actually in store.
Physiotherapy clinicGalway City PhysiotherapyThe problem. Galway City Physiotherapy is a well-established private clinic with a growing patient base. It already ran on cloud clinical software with IT support and a website that performed well, so it was in good shape.
What we advised. With the clinic already in good shape, the focus was on reducing admin and tightening security. An AI receptionist and booking tool was advised to answer overflow calls and take bookings, easing pressure on reception.
