Who we help

Built for growing service businesses.

You’ll get the most value from Phicient if your business:

  • Is a service business with 5–100 staff
  • Uses tools like Google Workspace, Xero, Airtable, CRMs, and project tools
  • Relies on reports but doesn’t fully trust the numbers
  • Has teams using manual workarounds or shadow spreadsheets
  • Wants automation/AI but knows the foundations aren’t ready

Process Documentation Completeness (PDC)
42% → 87%

Our PDC score jumped from 42% to 87%. Suddenly everyone was following the same playbook - errors dropped, handovers became smooth, and projects finally stopped stalling.

The real problem

Your tools aren’t the problem - your data and workflows are.

Most businesses grow on top of shaky foundations:

Most teams are stuck with:

  • Duplicate or inconsistent data across tools
  • Processes that live in people’s heads
  • Tools that were added quickly and never integrated

Which leads to:

  • Reports you can’t trust
  • Work being done twice
  • Automations breaking unpredictably
  • Slow decisions because no one knows what’s true

AI and automation don’t fix chaos - they multiply it.

The transformation

When your data and processes are clean, everything else gets easier.

Before

  • Unreliable reports
  • Manual admin everywhere
  • Tools not talking to each other
  • Constant rework and avoidable errors
  • Stress, firefighting, and inconsistency

After

  • Clean, reliable data across key systems
  • Repetitive work automated
  • Standardised workflows everyone can follow
  • Clear dashboards showing true performance
  • Faster, smoother operations with less friction

This becomes the foundation for automation, AI, and scalable growth.

AI reality check

AI can’t fix broken data. It makes the mess bigger.

Path A - AI on Chaos (Typical)

  • Wrong or conflicting answers
  • Broken automations and brittle workflows
  • Wasted spend on tools nobody trusts
  • Team frustration and low adoption
  • Leaders lose confidence in AI

Path B - AI on Clean Data (Phicient)

  • Accurate, explainable insights
  • Reliable automations that keep running
  • Faster, smoother workflows across teams
  • Confident, data-backed decisions
  • AI tools that actually deliver value

Before you invest in AI or automation, fix the foundations. The first step is data integrity.

Mini case study - Multi-site training provider

A training organisation with 9 locations was struggling to trust any of their reports. CRM, finance, and LMS data all told different stories. We mapped their data sources, created a single data register, standardised IDs across systems, and redesigned their enrolment workflow. Within 8 weeks they had one reliable performance dashboard and cut enrolment admin time by 35%.
