OneBridge Advisors’ Problem


OneBridge Advisors, a young consulting group, found itself bogged down by manual processes. They were using basic tools like Google Sheets for data management, leading to a frustratingly inefficient workflow. Pulling together information and generating reports became a tedious chore, hindering productivity and causing their operations manager immense frustration. This lack of a proper software solution was hindering their growth and efficiency, demanding a better answer.
