Case study · Custom tools

Our own console,from request to invoice.

Before building tools for others, we built our own. Here is the console that runs Northworks AI day to day.

Key points6 min
  1. One tool, from the first request to the invoice.
  2. Every morning, a summary of the day arrives by email.
  3. AI reads receipts and helps in context; nothing goes out without review.
  4. Customer documents are French first.

The problem

Like many small businesses, we had a choice between several separate apps (customers, quotes, accounting) or one big system designed for someone else. Both meant retyping and scattered information.

The solution

We built a console to our own measure, hosted on Cloudflare, usable on a phone.

StepWhat the console does
RequestWebsite requests arrive with a reply ready to review
QuoteProposals tracked through to acceptance
ProjectPhases, budget against actuals, a status link for the client
ApprovalThe client approves a deliverable through a link, no account needed
BillingInvoices, credit notes, expenses and reports
ReceiptsAI reads receipts and prepares the entry, for review
Morning briefAt 7 a.m., what needs attention today

TransparencyThis case study describes our own tool. It shows no client results and no real data.

How Northworks AI helps

The same approach, sized for your business.

You do not need a full console. Most small businesses gain a lot from a single piece, built by our Custom tools service.

A tool built for the way you work, not the other way around.
