Billie's Painting Solutions

From a half-day grind to a 10-second click.

“Derek came in, asked the right questions, and actually followed through. He didn’t just talk about what could be done. He did it. Our team got time back that we didn’t even realize we were losing.” — Felicia, Billie’s Painting Solutions


The problem

Billie’s Painting Solutions was processing purchase orders in QuickBooks, but every PO required multiple manual steps afterward; saving the PDF, creating the right folder in Google Drive, and filing the document by hand. Processing 40+ POs in an afternoon meant hours of repetitive work that kept the operations team stuck at a computer instead of managing jobs.

What I did

Built a Make automation that connects QuickBooks and Google Drive. When a PO is created, the PDF generates and files itself in the correct folder automatically triggered by the one step the team was already doing.

The result

4 steps became 1. 5-10 minutes became 10 seconds. The operations team reclaimed 25+ hours a month.
