Your ERP knows the numbers. Your sales team still quotes from memory.
The money problem
Manufacturing and distribution lose revenue in places that look like "ops" from the outside.
Common patterns:
- A customer asks for a quote and it takes days because pricing, lead times and landed cost live in one person's head or a spreadsheet nobody trusts
- Sales and ops run off month-old pulls from Sage, QuickBooks, SAP or another ERP that does not talk to anything else
- Reorder and buying decisions wait on the owner, so stockouts and overbuys both hit margin
- The team can see last month's report. They cannot ask "which jobs made money this week?" and get an answer from live data
That is a revenue problem. Quotes that arrive late lose the job. Inventory that is wrong ties up cash or kills a ship date. Numbers that only one person can pull mean decisions wait.
What Nick builds
GrowthBoost embeds with your team, maps how the work really gets done, and ships systems connected to the data you already have.
Typical builds for manufacturers and distributors:
- Data connectors. Secure connections into ERP databases, accounting platforms and industry systems with an API or a database we can reach. Your data becomes something you can ask questions of.
- Quote and pricing support. Encoded procedures for how your best estimator or sales lead builds a quote, so drafts move faster and stay consistent before a human sends them.
- Live dashboards and self-serve answers. Sales, margin, inventory and performance on screen without a weekly spreadsheet pull.
- Buying and reorder skills. The judgment your buyers use, written down once, then available to the team with a human approving the moves that matter.
- ERP write-backs when it is safe. Results written back into the system of record after approval, not just reports about the work.
I build on the AI model that fits the job. Claude and Grok are what I use most days; the engagement is not locked to one vendor. The connectors meet Sage 100, QuickBooks, SAP, Salesforce, HubSpot and other systems you already run.
How the work is scoped
- 30-Day Revenue Sprint: one working system live in 30 days. $10,000, credited to month one if you continue fractional.
- Fractional: $12,000 per month. A 90-day first engagement, then month to month with 30 days' notice. Smaller team? Ask about Fractional Lite: $7,500 per month, lighter scope.
No guarantees on results. You own the code, the connectors and the dashboards.
What it leads to
- Start with the free AI Setup Kit if you want a self-serve path on follow-up and first prompts.
- Or take the free Revenue Leak Assessment. If it looks like a fit, you get a link to book a 30-minute fit call.
- On the fit call we pick whether a Sprint is the right door. Pricing and scope go in writing before anything is built.
