FacadesX supplies high-end facade systems for commercial projects across the Northeast. Growing fast: 245 deals in the pipeline, three companies, three sets of books — none of it connected.
We put an agent inside the business. It reads the deal pipeline, forecasts cash, sorts every email, and writes proposals for multi-million-dollar bids — including a $14M data center.
Now: one set of books, forecasts that look forward, and a weekly rhythm instead of fire drills.
