Questions
The honest answers.
- What does Trim Automation do?
- We turn spreadsheets, formulas and repetitive business decisions into custom calculators, quoting systems, portals and internal apps. AI is used where it helps, while authoritative calculations stay deterministic and testable.
- Do I have to switch software or migrate my data?
- Not necessarily. A useful build can often connect tools already in place, including Gmail, Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Google Calendar or HubSpot. Any required migration or process change is identified before development starts.
- Who do you work with?
- Businesses with valuable rules or expert knowledge trapped in spreadsheets, email and staff memory. The strongest fit is a recurring sizing, pricing, quoting, document or approval process that off-the-shelf software cannot handle well.
- How does a project start?
- A short fit call establishes whether an existing tool is enough. When the workflow is genuinely custom, the next step is usually a paid Workflow Blueprint that maps the rules, risks, acceptance tests and fixed build scope.
- How much does it cost?
- Workflow Blueprints start around $1,500. Custom software builds typically range from $8,000 to $30,000 or more, depending on calculation rules, integrations, permissions and documents. Team workshop pilots start around $1,500. Prices are in Canadian dollars and confirmed in writing before work starts.
- Who actually builds it?
- Isaac Audet, directly. I work through the problem with you, write the scope, build the system and support it after launch.
- Where are you based, and do you work remotely?
- Trim Automation is based in Kamloops/Whistler, BC, and works with clients across Canada remotely.
- What have you built?
- Calculators, websites, internal apps and document workflows. The site includes an interactive quoting workflow demo and links to a broader portfolio of websites, apps and data products.
