STACK AUDIT · FIXED FEE

Every tool you pay for, judged on whether it earns its place.

A one-to-two-week review of your firm's stack against how you actually work. You receive a verdict on each tool (keep, configure, consolidate or replace), the monthly spend you can drop, and a roadmap in the order that pays back fastest.

OVERVIEW

Deliverables, not adjectives

Most firms our size run on ten to twenty tools that arrived one at a time. Some just need connecting properly, one or two were never built for a firm like yours, and a few quietly pay twice for the same thing. The audit settles which is which, in writing.

Every audit is scoped in writing before it starts: what we will look at, what you will receive, the timeline and the exact fee. The fee is fixed. Nothing begins until you have agreed the scope.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

What you receive

The verdict list: every tool, one of four calls, and the reason in one line
The spend you can drop: duplicates, outgrown licences, seats nobody uses
Where a tool doesn't fit, the one that does, named, with its cost
The friction map: where hours leak between tools today
A prioritised roadmap: quick wins first, then the structural changes
A 45-minute walkthrough with the partners, and the report in writing
THE PROCESS

How it runs

STEP 01

Fit call

Twenty minutes, free. We learn how your firm runs and what's frustrating you. If an audit isn't worth doing for your stack, we say so here.

01
STEP 02

Written scope

What we'll look at, what you'll receive, the timeline and the exact fee. Nothing starts until you've agreed it.

02
STEP 03

Working session with the partners

A structured session on how the firm actually works: who does what, in which tool, and where the friction sits. This is what the verdicts are calibrated against.

03
STEP 04

Tool-by-tool review in your accounts

We go through each tool in your own accounts, under your permissions. Configuration, usage, overlaps, cost. Client data never leaves your systems.

04
STEP 05

Verdict report and roadmap

The written report: keep / configure / consolidate / replace for every tool, the spend you can drop, and the roadmap in the order that pays back fastest.

05
STEP 06

Walkthrough and next steps

A 45-minute walkthrough with the partners. The roadmap is yours to run with anyone, including your own IT provider; if you want us to build it, implementation is scoped and quoted in writing.

06
WHY IT MATTERS

Who it's for

01

Owner-led firms of 10 to 50 people

Firms that have accumulated tools over several years and suspect they're paying for capability they don't use. One signature, one stack, one straight answer.

02

Not for firms under 10 with two or three tools

An audit would be overkill there. Write to us anyway and we'll point you in the right direction on the free call, without a fee.

03

Not for picking a tool blind

We don't recommend software without looking at how you work. A verdict only means something calibrated against your firm, and that calibration is the audit.

RECENT WORK

What this looks like in a firm like yours.

Law firm · 20 to 35 people · France

Audit, then integration · 7 weeks

BUILT WITH
Clio · HubSpot · Microsoft 365 · DocuSign · Make

BEFORE

Client intake relied on email chains, paper forms and manual re-entry into several systems. Marketing could not track which leads came from French legal directories and campaigns. Engagement letters often went out late, which delayed billing.

VERDICT
keep 4configure 2consolidate 1replace 1
AFTER

One intake form creates the client in every system. Marketing campaigns sync directly to the CRM, so the firm can see return on each channel. Engagement letters generate and file themselves. About 40 hours a month back across paralegal and admin staff.

A mid-sized French law firm came to us because onboarding a new client was slow and marketing had no visibility. Intake ran on email chains, paper forms and manual re-entry into several systems. The audit found four tools worth keeping, two that needed proper configuration, one overlap, and one tool that had never suited the French market. We built a secure intake form that creates the client in Clio and HubSpot, generates the engagement letter in DocuSign and files it in Microsoft 365 in one step, and connected the marketing campaigns to HubSpot so return on each channel is visible. Seven weeks from kick-off to handover. The firm measured about 40 hours a month back across paralegal and admin staff.

Healthcare facility · 25 to 50 people · Switzerland

Audit, then integration · 8 weeks

BUILT WITH
Mediware · Salesforce Health Cloud · Microsoft 365 · Twilio · Make

BEFORE

Patient bookings arrived by phone, email and walk-in, and staff updated calendars by hand. Lab results were delayed and re-entered into several systems. Moving a patient between departments was slow.

VERDICT
keep 3configure 3consolidate 2replace 1
AFTER

An online booking form syncs directly to the calendar, with automated SMS reminders. Lab results attach to the patient record as soon as they arrive. Transfers between departments happen automatically. Reception workload down by about 60 hours a month, freed for patient care.

A Swiss healthcare facility asked us to streamline patient management. Bookings arrived by phone, email and walk-in, staff updated calendars by hand, and lab results and appointments were re-entered into several systems. The audit found three tools worth keeping, three that needed configuration, two overlaps and one tool that did not suit them. We built an online booking form that syncs directly, added automated SMS reminders through Twilio, and made lab results attach to the patient record the moment they arrive. Eight weeks from kick-off to handover. Reception workload dropped by about 60 hours a month, and transfers between departments now happen without anyone re-keying a record.

Consulting firm · 5 to 12 people · United States

Audit, then integration · 5 weeks

BUILT WITH
Notion · HubSpot · Slack · Google Workspace · Zapier · Make

BEFORE

Leads were tracked in spreadsheets and project notes were scattered across teams. Onboarding emails were sent by hand and follow-ups were often forgotten, which held back growth.

VERDICT
keep 4configure 2consolidate 1replace 1
AFTER

The CRM now drives all lead tracking, onboarding emails send automatically, and files live in one workspace. About 20 hours a month back for the team. Lead-to-client conversion up 38%.

A young US consulting firm asked us to tidy up onboarding so it could grow. Leads lived in spreadsheets, project notes were scattered, onboarding emails were sent by hand and follow-ups slipped. The audit found four tools worth keeping, two that needed configuration, one overlap and one tool that did not suit a firm of their size. We made HubSpot the single source for lead tracking, automated the onboarding sequence, and consolidated their documents into one workspace. Five weeks from kick-off to handover. The team measured about 20 hours a month back, and lead-to-client conversion rose by 38%.

All clients shown here have signed a non-disclosure agreement with Flow Mesh. Engagements are described by sector, size and outcome only; names, locations and identifying details are withheld.

FAQ

The questions firms ask before an audit

Enough to see how each tool is really configured and used: a seat or admin view in your accounts, under your permissions, plus the working session with the partners. We work inside your systems and never copy client data out.

Yes, as soon as you engage us and before you give us access to any system. The free fit call beforehand needs no confidential detail. That NDA is also why our case studies are described by sector and outcome rather than by name.

Then the audit is well timed. We judge what you have and what you're planning against how the firm works, which is cheaper than discovering after a migration that the new tool didn't fit either.

The audit stands on its own: the verdict list and roadmap are yours, and you can run them with anyone, including your own IT provider. If you ask us to build it, implementation is quoted in writing after the audit, and that quote reflects the groundwork the audit has already done.

Yes. The logos on the site are the tools we touch most weeks, not a limit. If a tool can be connected, it can be judged, and the verdict works the same way.
