The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In marketing and creative agencies, account managers and operations leads spend hours each week manually entering new client details into Airtable, uploading contracts from Google Drive, and tracking progress through email threads. These repetitive tasks drain time, lead to inconsistent onboarding, and increase the risk of missed steps. When onboarding isn’t automated, teams scramble to find updates and clients wait longer for kickoff.
