Tool sprawl · Melbourne
When Stripe, Xero and your CRM disagree—you need one calm picture, not ten tabs.
Melbourne small and mid-sized businesses often run Stripe, Xero, HubSpot or Zoho, Typeform, Google Sheets, Mailchimp, Meta Ads and Calendly side by side—with nothing reliably in sync. I build owned databases and internal dashboards that pull those streams together, and fixed-price rescues when one pipe is on fire.

COMMON PAIN POINTS
Finance and sales never match
Stripe shows paid, Xero shows something else, and HubSpot is missing the lead. Someone exports CSVs every week to find the truth.
Forms and ads do not land in the CRM
Typeform, Meta lead ads or website enquiries sit in inboxes and spreadsheets instead of your pipeline.
Reporting is manual and fragile
Mailchimp, Sheets and CRM exports get stitched together for leadership—one broken zap and the board pack is wrong.
Nobody owns the glue
You have subscriptions for everything but no one who can safely change the integrations when the business evolves.

FAQ
- How much does fixing tool sprawl cost?
- If one integration or payment flow is broken, fixed-price workflow rescues often start around A$699 within a 48-hour window once scope is clear. Full dashboard and owned-data builds are quoted in phases after discovery—typically larger than a rescue, with written milestones.
- Do I have to replace HubSpot or Xero?
- Usually no. The goal is to connect what you already pay for into a database and dashboard you own, so reporting and ops do not depend on manual exports. We only replace a tool when it is genuinely blocking you.
- What should I send in the first email?
- List the tools you use, what should happen automatically today, and where it breaks (e.g. Stripe → Xero, form → CRM). Screenshots or sample exports help me suggest rescue vs dashboard build.
