Custom CRM for Workflow Visibility

French Consulting's founder built a CRM for internal use at a wholesale distributor doing $22 million in revenue with 30% year-over-year growth to create a more structured system for tracking relationships, activity, and follow-up work.

The goal was not to add more software for the sake of it. The goal was to improve visibility, reduce scattered information, and support more consistent day-to-day workflow management.

That same approach applies to client work: identify the operational problem first, then build a lightweight tool that fits the way the business actually works.

Why It Matters

Proof that custom tools can solve practical business problems

The Difference Is in Practical Judgment

🎓

MBA-Trained Business Thinking

The focus is not AI for its own sake. It is applying business and operations thinking to where technology can actually improve workflows, decisions, and execution.

⚖️

Responsible AI & Compliance Awareness

Graduate-level study in Ethical AI, Ethics and Compliance supports a more structured approach to privacy, governance, quality control, and risk.

🏭

Hands-On Operational Experience

French Consulting's founder has applied machine learning to a real warehouse decision-support problem involving more than 6,000 SKUs, not just theoretical use cases.

📈

Process Improvement Discipline

Lean Six Sigma training supports a structured approach to reducing waste, improving workflows, and focusing on measurable operational results.

📌

Focused on Business Outcomes, Not Technical Theater

The goal is to identify what is useful, what is not worth the effort, and what deserves a clear next step. That keeps engagements practical and grounded.

Inventory and Purchasing Decision Support

French Consulting's founder built a machine-learning-based min/max calculator designed to support purchasing decisions across more than 6,000 SKUs in a warehouse environment.

The goal was not AI for the sake of AI. It was to improve decision quality, support inventory planning, and bring a more structured approach to a real operational challenge.

That same mindset carries into consulting engagements: start with the business problem, identify where better data and AI can help, and focus on solutions that are useful in day-to-day operations.

Why It Matters

Clear Answers for Skeptical Business Owners

Is AI consulting a fit for a small business?

Yes, if there is a real business problem to solve. The goal is not to force AI into every part of a business. It is to identify where it can save time, improve decision-making, or reduce friction in a practical way.

Do I need a large budget or new software to get started?

Not always. In many cases, the best first step is an assessment to understand what is worth doing before spending money on tools or implementation.

What happens during the first call?

The first conversation is focused on understanding your business, identifying where AI may create value, and discussing whether a formal assessment or roadmap makes sense.

Can you help if we are just starting to explore AI?

Yes. Many businesses are in the early stages and need help separating useful opportunities from hype, confusion, and unnecessary risk.

How do you approach risk and responsible AI use?

The approach is practical and business-focused, with attention to privacy, governance, quality control, and how AI use may affect internal decision-making and operations.

A Practical Process. No Theater.
