Starter
3–5 days1–10 employees, 2–3 core tools (spreadsheet, email, maybe an invoicing tool), lots of copy-pasting.
Workflow
- 1Map the data you're entering multiple times: client info, project details, invoice data — find every duplication.
- 2Pick a primary source of truth (usually your CRM or main spreadsheet) and connect it to your other tools via Make.
- 3Build one-way syncs: when data changes in the source, it updates everywhere else automatically.
- 4Add validation rules to catch errors: if a required field is empty or a format is wrong, the workflow pauses and alerts the team.
Tools
Outcomes
- Data entered once, synced everywhere automatically.
- Error rate drops from 5–10% to near zero.
- Team saves 8–12 hours per week on manual entry.
- Validation catches mistakes before they cause downstream problems.
