Abstract
A residential and commercial water-feature design-and-build company was running four separate systems — Salesforce, Zoho, QuickBooks Online, and a stack of spreadsheets — and paying for every employee who logged in. We folded all four into one platform they own outright, running in their own private, walled-off section of Google Cloud that no other company shares. Everyone got access without adding a dollar in login fees, and their software bill dropped from about $2,500 a month to around $300 — because instead of paying a fee for every employee who logs in, they now pay for the computing power they use, like a utility bill.
Phase 1: Two-Server Setup
Everyone Can See the Whole Picture Again
Because the old tools charged a fee for every employee who logged in, access was rationed — the crews and office staff doing the work were kept out of the systems that tracked it. We moved the client to our Performance plan, the engine that runs their all-in-one business software (accounting, inventory, HR, sales and more, all in one place). We set it up on two dedicated servers inside their own private section of Google Cloud, one holding the data and one running the software, so reports don't slow down the people entering orders. On day one, everyone in the company could log in.
Phase 2: Your Data, Only Yours
Moving the Data Across and Locking It Down
We moved more than 300,000 records out of four systems and into one database they own — deduplicated and checked on the way in, with nothing lost. Our Managed Cloud Care service keeps it locked down, so no one gets in without being verified first. The client holds the only keys that unlock their data (not even Infinary can open it without them), and they have full top-level access to their own database.
SUCCESS: Dual-VM VPC Interconnect
SUCCESS: Records checked and loaded — none lost
SECURE: Zero-Trust IAM Established
Phase 3: Adding the AI
The Invoice Checker Goes to Work
With all their data now organized in one place, we switched on the Invoice Checker. It reads incoming invoices and documents using Google's business AI and files them automatically, checking that the invoice, the purchase order, and the delivery receipt all agree before anything gets paid. Job costing changed the same way: the profit on a build used to be rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet whenever someone had time for it, and now it updates on its own, continuously, from the records already in the system.
