The Problem

Your best people are doing $15/hr work.

01
Manual processes eat your week
Data entry, report building, intake checklists, follow-up emails — your team spends 30%+ of their time on tasks a machine could handle today.
02
You're the system admin
Zapier broke again. The custom GPT stopped working. Nobody else knows how to fix it. The founder ends up being the glue holding everything together.
03
Nothing is measurable
You can't see what's working. Reporting is manual and always a week late. No dashboard. No baseline. No way to improve what you can't measure.
What's Included

Six automation systems. Running from day 14.

Built on your existing tools. No new platform to learn. You own every workflow we build.

01

Intake Automation

New client, new project, new application — automated end-to-end. Document collection, welcome sequences, task creation, and team notification all trigger automatically the moment someone comes in.

02

Internal AI Agents

Custom AI agents for your most repetitive knowledge work — proposal drafting, meeting prep briefs, research summaries, customer Q&A. Built on Claude or GPT-4, trained on your business context and voice.

03

Reporting Dashboards

Key metrics pulled automatically from your tools and surfaced in one live dashboard. Anomaly alerts pushed to Slack or email before problems escalate. No more manual report building.

04

Workflow Automation

Repetitive task sequences automated using n8n, Make, Zapier, or HubSpot — whichever fits your stack. CRM updates, invoice triggers, document routing, follow-up sequences, and approval chains.

05

Tool Integration

We connect your existing tools so data flows between them without manual copying. CRM to project management. Billing to delivery. Support to ops. The handoffs that currently lose information get automated.

06

Monthly Improvements

Every month we identify the next highest-ROI automation and build it. The system expands its capacity over time — without growing your headcount.

Timeline

First automation live in 14 days.

We start with the automation that saves the most time the fastest — usually intake or reporting. From there, the system expands every month.

Questions

Common questions about the Operations Stack.

Everything you need before booking a call.

No. We build on top of what you already use — HubSpot, Asana, Notion, QuickBooks, Slack, Gmail, whatever your stack is. The goal is to make your existing tools work together automatically, not to add a new platform you have to learn.

n8n, Make (formerly Integromat), Zapier, and HubSpot Workflows — depending on your stack and what the automation needs to do. For AI agents we use Claude (Anthropic) and GPT-4. We pick the right tool for the job, not the one we're most comfortable with.

You keep everything. All workflows, agents, dashboards, and integrations we build are yours. If you cancel, you can continue running them independently — or hand them off to an internal team member. No lock-in, no proprietary platform dependency.

The initial audit requires about 2 hours from whoever knows your ops best (usually the founder or ops lead). After that, reviewing and approving new automations takes 20–30 minutes per month. The rest is handled by the FrontPipe team.

90-day initial engagement, then month-to-month with 30-day cancel notice. Operations automation takes longer to deliver full value than marketing — the compounding effect of each new workflow builds over months. That's why we ask for 90 days before moving to month-to-month.
