Engagement objectives

Suncoast Impact Group is a fast-growing Florida-based provider of impact-resistant windows and doors. Across six regional locations, the business is scaling revenue while reducing manual work and owner dependency through practical AI-enabled automation and better system integration.

  • Cut manual work in estimating, scheduling, and customer communication
  • Improve job margin visibility from 4–6 weeks delayed to near-real-time
  • Reduce missed bids and approval delays for commercial estimates
  • Standardize job status and handoffs so teams operate from one source of truth
  • Enable growth to ~$40M and expansion (e.g., Naples) without significant headcount growth
North Star

Real-time operational and financial visibility, automated customer communication, and standardized approvals—so the business can scale across locations with less owner dependency.

Key strategic insights

What we heard across leadership interviews and operating data.

01

Siloed systems block scaling

Manual handoffs across JobNimbus, QuickBooks, Excel, and email cause delays and errors that hide margin risk.

02

Estimating is the throughput ceiling

Spreadsheet-driven quoting (60–90 min residential, 4–6+ hrs commercial) limits bid capacity and causes underbids.

03

Customer comms run on memory

Calls and text threads with no consistent log produce reactive work and avoidable escalations.

04

Margin visibility is 4–6 weeks late

Reconciliation is fragile and concentrated in one person, exposing the business to compounding risk.

05

Owner approvals are the bottleneck

Commercial estimates >$15K stall in the inbox—12–48 hour delays cost real bids (documented $220K loss).
