Embedded Technology Leadership for a Scaling IT Sales Organization

Industry: Professional Services
Year: 2023–Present

End-to-end technology strategy, custom portals, operational automation, and the public-facing getitsense.com website, transforming a manual sales operation into a data-driven growth engine

The Challenge

Get IT Sense, a growing IT sales organization helping managed service providers launch and scale, had outgrown its tooling. The sales team relied on disconnected spreadsheets, manual data entry across multiple platforms, and tribal knowledge to manage deals, onboarding, and partner relationships. Leadership had limited visibility into pipeline health, attribution, or financial performance.

The company didn't need a one-time project or a consultant with a slide deck. They needed a technical partner who could own their entire technology strategy, build the systems, lead a team, and evolve the architecture as the business grew, someone who could sit at the leadership table and ship production software, not just advise.

Our Approach

We mapped the full operational lifecycle: lead generation through deal close, onboarding through ongoing partner management, and quoting through invoicing and reconciliation. We found that the core problem wasn't any single tool. It was that nothing talked to anything else, and every handoff between systems required a human to manually bridge the gap.

Rather than replacing everything at once, we built an integration-first architecture: connecting the existing CRM with cloud infrastructure, communication tools, accounting software, and prospecting platforms through custom automations. Then we layered purpose-built applications on top.

The Solution

We treated the engagement as one connected operating system, not a set of separate deliverables. That meant building the public-facing website, internal sales and operations tools, and the automation layer between them as parts of the same business infrastructure.

On the front end, we designed and built getitsense.com to clearly explain the company's advisory model, service catalog, and conversion paths. Behind the scenes, we built the systems that helped the team actually deliver on that promise.

  • Marketing Website: A public-facing site that positioned the company clearly, organized its offerings, and created cleaner paths to consultation and lead capture.
  • Role-Based Internal Tools: Custom Next.js portals for agents, partners, customers, and operations teams, tailored to how each group actually worked day to day.
  • Integration & Automation Layer: Python-based services connecting CRM, cloud workspace, accounting, prospecting, and communication tools through webhooks, retry logic, alerting, and structured logging.
  • Decision-Making Infrastructure: Real-time dashboards, pipeline reporting, attribution visibility, and automated financial workflows spanning quote, invoice, payment, and reconciliation.

Beyond implementation, we continue to manage the development team, run sprint planning, and partner directly with leadership to keep the roadmap aligned with revenue goals, operational realities, and the company's next stage of growth.
