Analytics did not track orders properly, so it was hard to measure the effect of advertising. **What we advised.** We ran a website audit and identified the tools and fixes to lift performance, with a developer brief to implement them. We also advised a CRM for enquiry and quote follow up, order and stock syncing to the accounts, better analytics, and AI to help produce marketing content in house. **Areas covered.** Website, E-commerce, Accounts integration, CRM and customer records, AI automation [Read the case study](https://appadvisor.ie/our-work/urban-sports/) > “Joe's digital programme gave us a clear, practical roadmap for growing Urban Sports online, and the support throughout was genuinely hands-on and easy to work with.” > > Noel Hogan, Urban Sports ### Lentech Services, Mechanical engineering **The problem.** This respected engineering contractor ran its site work well, but the systems around it were still on paper. The finances were kept in a spreadsheet, the weekly hours came in by message, and service reports were written by hand on site then typed up again back at the office. **What we advised.** We mapped a move onto connected cloud systems: a job management system for the field and workshop, cloud accounting for live figures, and IT security with backup behind it. A service report is now captured once and flows straight through to the invoice. **Areas covered.** Job and field management, Accounts integration, Document automation, Staff training and adoption [Read the case study](https://appadvisor.ie/our-work/lentech-services/) > “Working with App Advisor was a very positive experience.
