Before the current Solve8 IT Services, I built a workforce management SaaS. Here's what happened.
Transparency note: This was my previous company, not a client project. I'm sharing this to show I've built and scaled real products before, not just consulted on them.
A workforce management platform focused on Australian field service businesses. The core features were rostering, time tracking, mobile check-in/check-out, and compliance reporting.
Started with a single customer (a plumbing company). Grew to 1,500+ active users across multiple industries: construction, cleaning, security, and facilities management.
Key growth driver: we solved a specific Australian compliance problem (Fair Work documentation requirements) better than the generic US-built competitors.
The platform is still running. Building and operating it taught more about running a technology business than any consulting engagement could.
When I advise on AI strategy or automation, I'm not speaking theoretically. I've dealt with the reality of:
That practical experience shapes how I approach every engagement. I know what it's like to be on your side of the table.
If you prefer working with someone who's actually built and scaled products (not just PowerPoint strategies), let's talk.
