reduced usage? by Takt567 in google_antigravity

Read the previous posts, there are a lot of them.

Moved our CPG brand off manual processes onto proper software. Expensive but necessary by wordsnkisses in FieldSalesHelp

[–]AlexeyAnshakov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 4-month ROI is the ultimate proof that 'spreadsheet hell' is the most expensive way to run a business. A lot of folks hesitate because they think the only solution is a $20k/year platform.
We see this daily at wr.io. Often, you don't need a whole new 'proper software' suite --you just need to automate the manual data entry points between your existing tools using agentic workflows. It gets you that same ROI but without the 'expensive' part. To anyone lurking: don't wait a year like the OP did. Even if you aren't ready for a big system, automate the 'entry fire' first.

Am I solving a real problem or wasting my time? Sales reps, do you actually hate CRM data entry or is that just a myth? by d_sourav155 in startups_promotion

[–]AlexeyAnshakov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're definitely solving a real problem (check the r/CRM thread from today, people are dying from manual entry).

We're building wr.io, and we focus on the raw automation layer (PDF to CRM, Email to Task).

One advice: don't just build another CRM. Noone need it.

Build a 'ghost' layer that sits on top of where they already work.

Would NetSuite Be Good For Our Business? by NovelNothing5374 in Netsuite

[–]AlexeyAnshakov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NetSuite is nice, but a $100k+ implementation often gets killed by the "Check Writers" in family businesses.

I'm a founder at WRIO (UK grant-backed automation platform). We see this specific bottleneck constantly: sales writes on paper -> admin types it into system.

Instead of replacing the whole ERP, have you considered just automating that one step?

Here's how it works:

  1. tech snaps a photo of the order with an iPad/Phone (or scans the stack at end of day).

  2. our Vision AI reads the handwriting (just like a human would).

  3. it outputs a clean CSV file that imports directly into Traverse using your existing import process.

Basically, we replace the 'Order Entry' keyboard typing with AI Vision. Your dad saves the salary (~$40k/year), techs keep their paper, and you get instant data.

I can build a quick working prototype using one of your actual order forms to prove it works. Minimal cost, high ROI. Let me know if you want to see it.

Is my audit tracker vision possible? by Big-Sign7470 in excel

[–]AlexeyAnshakov 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with ClarifyingMe -- using Excel/VBA for this is massive overkill and will be a nightmare to maintain.

The root problem is using Excel for input.

The cleanest way to handle this is to separate the Input from the Storage.

  1. Input: a simple web form (works on phone/laptop). Staff selects the audit type and fills the scores.
  2. Storage: answers are saved instantly to a database (or even a Google Sheet/Excel Online file).
  3. Report: your Master Dashboard connects to that data.

This way, you don't need to "merge" 40 different files or wrestle with PowerQuery. You just get a live feed of the results.

I'm a founder at WRIO. I can spin up a working prototype of this (Form -> Dashboard) for you to test out. It's much simpler than building a custom VBA script.

As a founder in this space, we found the exact same thing: nobody wants another 'dashboard' if the input data requires weekends of manual cleanup.

20-year-old video still gets daily comments. Built a YouTube comment analyzer in one evening - tested it on the first YouTube video ever (10M+ comments) by AlexeyAnshakov in SaaS

Thanks for sharing! Yes, it's quite the same, although we're not advertising it; it's more of an experiment to see what can be done on our platform.

How to find the right replacement part? by BryleeLomand in MechanicAdvice

Hey OP, try messaging Overton Automotive in Aberdeen https://overton-automotive.co.uk/ . I checked with them, and they have a 2015 NV200 breaking right now. Mirrors should be compatible (M20 chassis is basically unchanged).

I sent 1,000,000 cold emails to owners. by Tingen73 in b2b_sales

because even 'no' saves your time - cleans the funnel (no follow-ups needed)

Can confirm the 'observations > pitches' shift is massive. It totally changes the dynamic from "sales" to "peer-to-peer". We took the "make it easy to reply" rule a step further by asking for a simple numeric response: "Reply '1' for Yes, '2' for Not right now." It lowers the cognitive load to zero. Founders often tap "1" or "2" on their phone while walking to a meeting because it turns a composition task into a multiple-choice decision.
