Quinta Studio
Practical automation

You’re re-typing the same order into three systems. Again.

Again. The same order, keyed by hand into three systems.

Quinta Studio builds practical automation for small businesses where most of the day is coordination and manual work. We learn how you work, build one thing that fixes the most painful step, and test it on real jobs. On the systems you already use.

The daily grind

If this is your day, you shouldn't have to explain it twice.

We start by watching how the work actually moves.

01 — Re-typing

The same shipment details, keyed into the TMS, then the invoice, then the email to the client.

Three times. The same numbers, three places.

02 — Status-chasing

Half the morning is “where is it?” Calling carriers, refreshing portals, updating a spreadsheet nobody trusts.

And a sheet no one fully trusts.

03 — Documents by hand

Rebuilding the same BOL, packing list, and customs paperwork from scratch. Every single time.

From scratch. Every single time.

04 — The handoff gap

Key information lives in one person’s head or inbox. When they’re out, the whole thing stops.

One person out, and everything waits.

Who it’s for

Freight forwarding is where this work is easiest to see. The same pattern runs the office next door.

We lead with freight as an example, the work isn’t unique to it.

Freight forwarding is where the manual work is hardest to miss: shipments, carriers, customs, documents that have to agree. But if your day is coordination, re-typing, and chasing status, the problem underneath is the same.

No industry walls. If the work is recognizable, we can help.

How we work

Low theater. We map, we build one thing, we test it on real work.

No big platform pitch. Just the work.

1
Map the workflow

We sit with how you actually work, not how the software says you should. One workflow, documented end to end.

How you actually work.

2
Build one automation

We automate the single most painful handoff first, built on the tools you already have. No rip-and-replace.

On your systems. Nothing replaced.

3
Test on real work

We run it on live jobs, with you watching. Fixed scope, agreed up front. You keep working the whole time.

On real jobs, with you watching.

Some examples

What this looks like in practice.

These are honest examples, not client stories. Real case studies will replace them here as they’re ready.

Example
12–15 hrs/wk
Freight forwarder · ~200 shipments/mo

Typically lost to manual data entry and status updates. Automating the shipment-to-invoice handoff alone gives most of that week back.

Example
3 → 1 places
HVAC back-office

Dispatch, job notes, and billing live in three systems. One automation to sync them removes the nightly re-entry and the typos that come with it.

Example
No backlog
Specialty lab

Sample intake re-typed from email into the LIMS. A structured intake step cuts errors and clears the morning backlog before staff arrive.

Fair questions

The questions a skeptical operator should ask.

“Will this even work for my messy office?”

Messy is the normal starting point. We map what’s actually there before we build anything. The mess is the job, not a reason to wait.

Messy is where everyone starts.

“Do I have to replace my systems?”

No. We build on the tools you already pay for. No rip-and-replace, no new platform for your team to learn.

We build on what you already use.

“Is this going to be an endless bill?”

Fixed scope, agreed before we start. One automation, one price. You decide whether there’s ever a next one.

Fixed scope, agreed up front.

“Will you disappear after the deposit?”

We’re a small firm that stays. You work directly with the people building it, in English or Spanish, from start to finish.

A small firm that stays.
