“Efficient App implemented automation solutions better than we expected!”
“Efficient App has saved us hours of time and frustration by building automations that have allowed key information to flow between our different systems. We were initially hesitant to hire an automation expert, unsure if what we were looking to accomplish was feasible and potentially too complicated to understand.

Our hesitations quickly disappeared as Alex immediately grasped the project and implemented automation solutions better than we expected.

The team is knowledgeable, responsive, friendly, and went above and beyond by providing additional ideas of how we could improve our workflows to achieve our goals. We've learned an entirely new way to optimize our current systems and are grateful to have found Efficient App!

“Efficient App can automate, simplify, or integrate any of your processes!”
“Alex and the team have been so helpful - they are extremely knowledgeable about tons of integrations and provided a lot of insight for us on how to approach the problems we were having. I highly recommend using them if you are looking to automate, simplify, or integrate any of your processes!

“I've had a great experience working with Efficient App. They helped my team automate our invoicing process using QuickBooks Online. Not only did they help us build it out using our first CRM, but when we decided to switch CRMs, they helped us transfer the data to the new one, and made sure that we didn't lose any data in the process. Alex has gone above and beyond to help our team, and is always quick to respond to questions. I would highly recommend their team!

“We've increased our close rate from 40% to nearly 50%!”
“Every recommendation the team made we have implemented. The admin and superintendents are thrilled with Copper. The estimator/sales side has increased our close rate from 40% to nearly 50% with the implementation of PandaDoc. This alone has more than paid for their services. Ongoing support is quick, thorough and well documented. I am greatly encouraged to have found a long-term solution with Efficient App.”

Alex Bass
Hi there! I'm “The Efficient Guy”
“I’ve been helping businesses with their processes & automation for over a decade. I’ve spent thousands of hours building and integrating software, in-fact, I've even consulted with many of the companies you see listed on our site, helping them build out parts of their API to better suit their customer's needs (their customers are our customers).

I’ve seen automation save companies many hours a month — I’m talking up to 500 human-hours per-month, all while improving the team's efficiency and happiness as a by-product (I don’t care what anyone says, manual admin just plain sucks).

I'm always researching and evaluating new software (just ask my co-founder and wife — Andra, AKA: the first one testing out whatever apps make it through the first cut). My philosophy has always been about using the best tool for the job (not the all-in-one tools that are great at doing many things poorly). It’s about finding well-built and thoughtful tools that are enjoyable to use (first and foremost). Software that was made with the end-user in mind (a great UI/UX), and an exceptionally talented team building them (no, really — I get super close to their product/engineering teams, I see this first-hand).

Outside of automation, I invest in startups and write about them on my blog (I've even invested in a few of the tools that we recommend on the site — this happened after personally using and recommending them to our customers for years).”

Hi there! I'm “The Efficient Girl”
“We build software integration here — but what’s the reason I do what I do?

It comes down to the human element for me.

I remember the first time I helped a sales team get onboarded to a CRM and watched their productivity excel. They were making on average 4 sales calls per hour, as it would take 15 minutes to check all the different pieces of software for context prior to making a call — Google sheets for their contact details and notes of the last time they spoke plus their email and internal Slack messages for further context. On the first day after their CRM training session, the average number of sales calls went up to 11 per hour per rep. 🤯

Not only that but the team’s mind was more clear to focus. They didn’t feel like they were constantly missing something.

While all this may seem like common sense, Zapier's 2021 State of Business Automation Report found that 44% of SMB employees say that they're not highly efficient or productive in their day-to-day work, and 94% say they perform repetitive, time-consuming tasks in their role. So we've got work to do!

If you’re looking for well-oiled business processes, to improve your team’s organization and efficacy, then you’ve come to the right place. We'd love to help.”

“To think that this could be done with a piece of software was beyond my reality!”
“There has been tremendous pressure on me personally to try and manually manage all the business processes myself. When you showed what is possible with automation it was emotionally pretty overwhelming. To think that this could be done with a piece of software was beyond my reality.

For the first time, I could see how much time in human capital this would save our staff by automating some of our systems. I could see that it would also remove tremendous stress from trying to manage the whole process and also the possibility of reducing the human error aspect too. In our line of work getting it wrong, there is a massive amount at stake and the thought that some of this could be eliminated with technology was a massive reality shift.

I am just so lucky that you have allowed us to work with you both and wanted to send an email of thanks.”

“Within the first week of launching our new Copper processes, we received a request for a new project and that alone could easily pay for our entire investment with you!”
“We are so happy to have our CRM up and running, this is great! Just signing into Copper and seeing everything there is exactly what we were hoping to do!

Within the first week of launching our new Copper processes [that you’ve helped us build], we received a request for a new project and that alone could easily pay for our entire investment with you!

Your assessment process and overall communication was fantastic, with a perfect blend of email, recorded videos, and live online meetings. Thank you for everything!”

“Efficient App has made a huge impact on the way I look at my business operations and scaling!”
“Before Efficient App, we weren't using a proper CRM, so following up with potential customers was a difficult and messy process.

The team helped us map our sales, onboarding, and project management processes to Copper, making it the central hub of our business for the past 6+ years. We have no idea how we functioned before having Copper!

Since then, they've recommended and have helped us implement Outfunnel, PandaDoc, and Help Scout, along with custom integrations and automation for our specific business processes. Their pragmatic software integrations are really helpful and are making a huge impact on the way I look at my business operations and scaling.

“Our biz-dev efforts are alot better as a result”
“The first time I set up Copper for a creative agency, I did it alone and pushed through with online tutorials and support forums. It was an okay outcome. The second time, I hired Efficient App to help me. It has been a GREAT outcome ever since. With their help we have improved our pipeline structures and how we manage leads/clients. Just this improvement alone has been worth it.

They also introduced us to Copper-integration tools that have helped us find and track leads. Our biz-dev efforts are a lot better as a result.

It's been nice having their support when I have questions or ideas to try. They are responsive and quick to roll up their sleeves to find solutions. We haven't fully utilized the magic of their marketing/communication automation service yet, but that is our likely next step. Looking forward to it.”
