Your phone rings. Your hands are full. The work walks out.
We build the system that catches it, connected to what you already pay for.
I'm Chris Kave. Thirty years in tech, family-owned in Essex Junction.
Your scheduling tool, your phone, your CRM, your invoicing. None of them talk. None of them follow up. We fix that, whether you're under a sink, at a chair, writing an RO, running a portfolio, or coordinating locations. $1,000 to start. No contracts. Free consultation.
What we automate
The work that eats your week.
We don’t sell you software. We build the system, connect it to your tools, and keep it running.
The real cost of manual work
What busywork actually costs
The hours you spend copying data, sending reminders, manually blocking schedules, and chasing follow-ups add up to something you can put a dollar amount on.

10-20 hrs
Per week spent on tasks that should be automated
(QuickOutcomes client assessments)
One client was manually blocking schedules across three locations every morning. Another was tracking membership signups in a spreadsheet that nobody remembered to update. A third was losing real estate deals because their follow-up process was “whoever remembers.” These aren’t technology problems. They’re time problems. And time is the one thing you can’t hire more of.
What makes us different
Automation only works if it knows your business.
If the AI doesn’t know who your customer is or how your business sounds, you just get bad automation. Fast garbage is still garbage. We do the foundation work first.
The process
Four steps. No tech skills required.
We Listen
Free 30-minute call. You walk us through your day. Where does time disappear? What are you doing by hand that feels like it should be automatic? What tools are you using that don’t talk to each other? We figure out what’s costing you the most.
We Get You AI-Ready
If your business needs foundation work first, we build it. Customer personas, brand voice, competitive positioning. This is what makes automation actually sound like your business instead of a robot. Some clients skip this step because they’re already clear on who they serve. Some need it. We’ll tell you which one you are.
We Build the Automation
We connect your tools, set up the workflows, test everything, and train you on it. Not a login to software you figure out yourself. A working system. Ready in 1-3 weeks depending on complexity.
You Focus
Your systems talk to each other. Reminders go out on their own. Follow-ups happen without you thinking about it. The spreadsheet you were updating by hand is gone. You do the work that actually pays.
Vermont roots
Based in Essex Junction. Built for Vermont businesses.
We’re not a call center in Phoenix or a software company in San Francisco. We’re in Essex Junction.
We know that frozen pipes in January drive more emergency calls than you can handle. We know that summer is when every contractor in Chittenden County is booked solid and still drowning in admin. We know the tourists leave in November and your revenue shifts.
This isn’t a side project for a tech company. It’s a family business. I started QuickOutcomes with my sons Ezra and Adam because I spent 30 years building technology for companies across the country. I know what real automation looks like. Not buzzwords. Not dashboards nobody checks. Systems that actually remove work from someone’s plate.
I wanted to bring those same tools to the businesses I drive past every day. Your plumber. Your dentist. Your mechanic. The property manager who keeps the building next door running. The real estate team trying to build something without renting their leads from Zillow.
Those are the businesses that deserve systems that work. Not a $20,000 consulting engagement. Not a software platform with a 400-page manual. Just practical automation, built by someone you can meet for coffee in Essex Junction.
Real results
What this looks like in practice
Case Study
Multi-location spa. Connecting systems across 3 locations
A growing massage spa with three locations was manually blocking therapist schedules between two booking systems every morning. Staff forgot to report membership signups. Reports were consolidated by hand in spreadsheets. We built a platform that connected their systems, automated the schedule blocking, and gave their team a single dashboard. The work that used to take their virtual admin hours every day now happens automatically.

Case Study
Real estate investment firm. Building a brand foundation
A three-person real estate team was finding deals by networking and driving for dollars. No defined customer personas. No brand voice. No competitive positioning. Their website needed work but they were sending traffic there anyway. We built their seller personas, brand voice guide, competitive map, and a prioritized action roadmap. Three weeks. The foundation for everything that comes next.
Active engagement, Vermont real estate investment firm
Both are real engagements. Both are Vermont businesses. We’re building this client list one business at a time. If you want to see what we’d build for yours, the consultation is free.
Two ways to start. Both are straightforward.
What it costs
Business Assessment
Starts at $1,000
We figure out who your customers are, how your business should sound, and what to fix first. Personas, brand voice, competitive map, and a prioritized roadmap. Done in 2-3 weeks. This is where most businesses start.
Automation
Starts at $1,000
We build your automation, connect your systems, test everything, and train you on it. You pay for the build. You own the result.
For comparison: platforms like Podium charge $400-$600 every month with annual contracts. Marketing agencies start at $2,000/month. Local IT consultants charge $3,500-$9,000 per project. We build custom automation at a fair price, and you own what we build.
What drives the cost:
- How many systems need connecting
- How complex your workflows are (one location vs. multiple)
- How many automations you need running
Common questions
Local service businesses where the owner or office manager is spending hours on manual tasks that should be automated. Plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, dental offices, chiropractors, property managers, auto repair shops, real estate teams, and similar businesses. If your day involves copying data between systems, sending reminders by hand, or tracking things in spreadsheets, we can probably help.
No. Phone answering is one of several automations we offer. Most of our work involves connecting systems that don’t talk to each other, automating follow-ups and reminders, building brand foundations, and removing the manual busywork that eats your day. Some clients need phone answering. Some need their scheduling software connected to their CRM. Some need a brand strategy before any automation makes sense. We start with whatever problem is costing you the most time.
Business assessment work takes 2-3 weeks. Most automations are running within 1-2 weeks. Simple setups can be ready in a few days. More complex projects with multiple system integrations take 2-3 weeks. You don’t need to do anything technical. We handle all of it.
No. We design it, build it, test it, and train you on it. You’ll get clear documentation and a walkthrough. If something needs adjusting later, you call us. That’s the whole point.
We’ll email you back within 24 hours. Usually sooner. We’ll set up a 30-minute call where we learn about your business, what’s eating your time, and whether automation makes sense. If it does, you’ll get a clear proposal within 48 hours. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you. No pressure either way.
Yes. We build it, you own it. There’s no subscription to cancel. If you need changes or additions down the road, we’ll scope that as a new project.
Software gives you a login and a help article. We give you a working system. We build the automation around your specific workflow, connect it to your existing tools, and keep it running. You don’t configure anything. You don’t troubleshoot anything. You just use it.
Ready to get those hours back?
The consultation is free. 30 minutes. We'll look at your workflow and tell you exactly where you're losing time. If we can help, we'll show you how. If we can't, we'll say so. No pitch. No pressure. Just a straight conversation about what's eating your day.
