Operational Intelligence & Business Systems

We Solve the Operational Problems Slowing Your Business Down

The manual work, the disconnected tools, and the handoffs that fall through the cracks are costing you time and money. We turn them into systems that run reliably and scale, across customer acquisition, operations, data, and the field.

We start with your workflow, build the system that fits it, and stay until it delivers a result you can measure. AI is part of the solution when it earns its place.

Most businesses run on fragments.

Spreadsheets, email, phone calls, forms, and disconnected tools, stitched together by people. We turn those fragments into connected systems. Sometimes AI is part of the solution, sometimes it is not. The workflow always comes first.

Business Systems We Build

Five kinds of system, built around the workflow, with AI where it earns its place.

Customer Acquisition Systems

Turn inbound interest into booked, qualified work.

We build the connective tissue between a first phone call and a closed deal, so leads get answered, scored, and followed up without anyone watching a queue.

Example capabilities

  • AI phone receptionists that answer, qualify, and book
  • Lead qualification and intake routing
  • Appointment scheduling and calendar sync
  • CRM automation and record updates
  • Sales follow-up workflows
  • Website chat assistants

Business outcomes

  • More qualified leads reaching sales
  • Faster response on inbound inquiries
  • Fewer missed opportunities after hours
  • Higher conversion to booked work

Operational Intelligence Systems

Turn scheduling and resource decisions into software.

When the planning problem has too many moving constraints for a spreadsheet, we build an engine that solves it and explains the answer.

Example capabilities

  • Constraint-based scheduling optimization
  • Workforce and capacity planning
  • Route planning and resource allocation
  • Permit-aware and regulatory-aware scheduling
  • Forecasting and decision support

Business outcomes

  • Better crew and asset utilization
  • Lower operating costs
  • Planning in seconds, not days
  • Visibility into every decision

Data & Intelligence Platforms

Turn raw records into sales intelligence.

We index public and proprietary data, enrich it, and turn it into something you can target, sell, or sell from.

Example capabilities

  • Permit and contractor intelligence
  • Lead intelligence, scraping, and enrichment
  • Market intelligence and segmentation
  • Predictive analytics and reporting

Business outcomes

  • Sharper sales targeting
  • Clear market visibility
  • Faster decisions from structured data
  • A data asset you can monetize

Workflow Automation Systems

Turn manual handoffs into connected systems.

We wire the tools you already run into one flow, so data moves once and stays clean across every platform.

Example capabilities

  • Salesforce, Airtable, SharePoint, Forms On Fire
  • Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
  • Stripe and Twilio
  • n8n orchestration and custom APIs

Business outcomes

  • Less administrative work
  • Cleaner data, fewer re-keying errors
  • Fewer manual handoffs
  • A consistent process every run

Custom Software Platforms

Turn spreadsheets and workarounds into software that fits.

When off-the-shelf tools do not match how you operate, we build the portal, directory, or dashboard that does.

Example capabilities

  • Customer and workflow portals
  • Contractor directories and SaaS apps
  • Internal systems and operational dashboards
  • Business intelligence applications

Business outcomes

  • Software built around your business
  • Capabilities off-the-shelf cannot match
  • Operations that scale without headcount
  • One system your team actually uses

Connected Systems

We build complete business systems, not isolated tools.

A single automation saves an hour. A connected system runs the whole operation. Each step below feeds the next, so data moves from first contact to final report without anyone retyping it.

Scheduling Optimization Engine

A custom constraint-scheduling engine for city-scale utility infrastructure work. It models block adjacency as a graph and assigns crews under six interacting constraints, from regulatory zones and permit lead times to spatial separation and crew specialization, optimizing revenue across a multi-year timeline. Built from scratch in Python on AWS Lambda.

How We Work

From workflow to working system, in five steps.

We start with how your business actually runs, not with a tool we want to sell you.

01

Understand the Workflow

We map how work actually moves through your business: the forms, emails, calls, spreadsheets, people, documents, and software a job touches from start to finish.

This is the part no AI can do for you. It takes knowing how your business and your people actually work, and it is where every working system starts.

02

Design the System

We find the bottlenecks, the manual handoffs, and the integration points, then turn them into clear requirements before anyone writes code.

03

Build the Platform

We build the applications, workflows, automations, and infrastructure the system runs on, sized to the problem in front of you.

04

Connect Everything

We connect it to the tools you already use: websites, CRMs, phone systems, forms, payments, databases, and reporting. Data moves on its own instead of by copy and paste.

05

Measure Outcomes

We track the result in business terms: hours saved, errors reduced, and time to respond. The outcome matters more than the technology behind it.

Why General Informatics

Most shops build the website. We build the system underneath it.

A typical agency:

  • Builds you a website
  • Builds you a chatbot
  • Creates a demo that looks good
  • Optimizes for the technology
  • Leaves your workflow exactly as it was

GENERAL INFORMATICS:

  • Builds business systems
  • Solves the operational problem
  • Integrates the real workflow
  • Works with the messy data you actually have
  • Automates the handoffs between people and tools
  • Improves the decisions the business makes every day
  • Delivers outcomes you can measure

AI is part of some of these systems and none of others. The workflow decides, not the trend.

Industries We Help
