## Challenge
A growing service-based business struggled with delays in sending proposals and collecting signatures. Sales reps would manually copy data from their CRM into a proposal template, send it via email, and wait days (or weeks) for a signed copy. This slowed down closing time and required constant follow-ups.

## Solution
We created a seamless automation using Make.com, connecting their CRM with PandaDoc. Now:

- When a deal reaches the “Proposal” stage in the CRM, a branded proposal is created automatically.
- Contact details, service items, and pricing are pre-filled.
- The document is sent out for e-signature instantly.
- The deal stage is updated once signed, and the signed PDF is stored in Google Drive.

## Results
-  **Faster deals**: Proposals now go out instantly instead of hours later.
-  **Professional documents**: All proposals are on-brand and consistent.
-  **Hands-free follow-up**: Status tracking happens automatically.
-  **Document trail**: Signed copies are auto-organized and searchable.

Instant Proposals with E-signatures


## Challenge
An eCommerce store using Shopify and QuickBooks Online faced constant discrepancies in inventory counts and product data. Manual syncing caused order fulfillment issues, customer frustration, and accounting headaches.

## Solution
We built a two-way sync using Make.com:

- When products are added or updated in Shopify, the changes reflect in QuickBooks instantly.
- Inventory levels adjust automatically when orders are placed.
- Daily reconciliation checks flag any mismatches between platforms.

## Results
-  **Zero inventory mismatches**: Both systems stay in sync 24/7.
-  **Fewer errors**: Manual entry mistakes have been eliminated.
-  **Happy customers**: Real-time inventory means accurate product availability.
-  **More trust in data**: Finance and ops teams finally speak the same language.

Automation Solutions for Modern Businesses


## Challenge
Bookkeepers often spend hours sending invoices manually—especially when managing multiple clients, events, or payment schedules. In this case, the client used Pipedrive to track sales and QuickBooks Online (QBO) to manage finances. But moving from a won deal to a sent invoice required a lot of copy-pasting, double-checking, and calendar reminders. This manual process was time-consuming, error-prone, and didn’t scale.

## Solution
We designed an automation system using Make.com to connect Pipedrive and QBO, streamlining the entire process. Here’s how it works:

- When a deal is marked as Won in the CRM, the system automatically checks if the customer exists in QuickBooks.
- If not, it creates the customer.
- Based on the invoice type, it either sends a full invoice immediately or a deposit invoice now and a balance invoice later.
- The balance invoice is automatically scheduled to go out 4 weeks before the event.
- Everything is logged in Airtable for easy tracking and accountability.

This solution runs in two parts:

- A real-time scenario for new deals
- A daily scenario that checks for balance invoices due soon

## Results

-  **Saved time**: No more manual invoice prep — everything flows from CRM to QBO.
-  **Improved accuracy**: Eliminated copy-paste mistakes and missed follow-ups.
-  **Scales with growth**: The client can now handle more deals without adding admin overhead.
-  **Full visibility**: Every step is logged, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Cloud Engineering & Infrastructure: Building Resilient Foundations for Growth


When your cloud foundation is weak, everything else becomes harder — from automation to observability to uptime.

At VelocivTech, we treat infrastructure not as a one-time setup, but as a living foundation for your business. Here's how we approach **cloud engineering the right way**:

---

## ☁️ 1. Build Infrastructure as Code from Day 1
We use tools like **Terraform**, **AWS CDK**, or **Pulumi** to define every component of your infrastructure. This ensures:
- Version control of every change
- Easy rollback and cloning of environments
- Automated testing and CI integration

---

## 🔐 2. Design with Security by Default
Security isn't a checklist — it's a mindset:
- Principle of least privilege (IAM roles, access policies)
- Encrypted secrets via AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault
- Network segmentation (VPCs, subnets, security groups)
- CloudTrail logging + audit-ready change tracking

---

## 💰 3. Optimize for Cost Without Sacrificing Performance
Cloud waste is real. We help teams:
- Leverage **spot instances**, **Graviton** CPUs, and autoscaling
- Use cost explorer and resource tagging for visibility
- Right-size RDS, Lambda, and ECS/Fargate services
- Archive infrequently accessed data automatically

---

## 🧪 4. Create Safe CI/CD Pipelines
We build GitOps-style pipelines that:
- Run `terraform plan` checks
- Scan for secrets
- Enforce approval gates
- Provide preview environments with minimal manual input

---

## 🔍 5. Add Observability That Works
We use **CloudWatch**, **Datadog**, or open-source stacks (Grafana + Loki) to provide:
- Real-time log aggregation
- Uptime and latency dashboards
- Alerting based on SLOs — not just status codes

---

Cloud isn't “set it and forget it.”  
We help companies **run lean, stay secure, and scale smoothly** — without burning time or budget on the wrong abstractions.

Seamless Integrations for a Connected Business Ecosystem


## Challenge
A business coach was overwhelmed by incoming leads from multiple sources (website forms, DMs, referrals). Manually qualifying leads and booking intro calls led to missed opportunities and burnout.

## Solution
We built a smart lead funnel using Make.com:

- Leads submit a Typeform on the website (or fill out a CRM intake).
- Responses are analyzed to determine qualification.
- Qualified leads automatically receive a Calendly invite to schedule a free intro call.
- After the call, personalized follow-up emails and reminders are sent automatically.

## Results
- ⏱ **Saved hours weekly**: No more manual sorting or scheduling.
-  **Better-qualified leads**: Every meeting counts.
-  **Timely follow-ups**: Each lead receives a personalized post-call sequence.
-  **Clear funnel metrics**: Airtable logs show funnel performance at a glance.

From Lead to Meeting — Fully Automated

## 🚨 The Problem: Secure Intake, Without the Friction

Most agencies and consultants still collect sensitive data (like credentials, API keys, or private links) via insecure forms, email, or Google Docs.

We wanted to change that.

Our goal? Build a branded, secure, scalable intake experience for VelocivTech clients that:
- Only allows pre-approved leads to submit
- Automatically logs submissions
- Stores secrets safely in AWS
- Feels fast, elegant, and branded — not clunky

---

## 🔐 The Solution: LeadLocker

We built **LeadLocker**, a token-based secure intake system, in under two weeks.

Here’s what it does:
- Clients request access via a short form
- Admin (us) approves it via Airtable
- Make.com generates a unique token and emails a secure link
- The link opens a one-time form where the client submits sensitive data
- Secrets go to AWS Secrets Manager, metadata to Airtable
- The link self-expires

It’s DRY. It’s scalable. It’s secure.

---

## 🛠 Tech Stack

**Frontend UI** — Next.js + Tailwind + Orbitron Font  
**Hosting** — Vercel  
**Secrets Vault** — AWS Secrets Manager  
**Automations** — Make.com

Platform Orchestration for Smarter Business Operations


At VelocivTech, automation doesn’t just mean faster — it means **safer by default**.

From our earliest design discussions to production workflows, we embed security best practices that protect data, credentials, and operations. Here’s how we do it:

---

## 🔐 1. Secrets Stay Secret

All credentials (API keys, tokens, SSH keys) are stored using **secure secret managers** — like:

- AWS Secrets Manager
- GitHub Actions Encrypted Secrets
- Vercel Environment Variables (encrypted at rest)

We **never hardcode secrets**, and our automation scripts are built to fail safely if credentials are missing or expired.

---

## 🔐 2. Least Privilege Access

Every integration — from CRMs to cloud services — runs on **scoped credentials**. That means:

- Read-only access when write isn't needed
- Expiration dates on temporary tokens
- Role-based access controls (RBAC) in CI/CD and workflow tools

We enforce **auditability** and **separation of concerns** across our toolchains.

---

## 🔐 3. Input Validation by Default

Every input into our automations — whether it’s from a form, a webhook, or a user interaction — is:

- **Validated**
- **Sanitized**
- **Logged (with sensitive data masked)**

This helps protect against injection attacks, malformed payloads, and human error.

---

## 🔐 4. Zero-Trust by Design

Our architecture assumes compromise at every layer. That means:

- We don’t trust internal services by default
- All inter-service calls are authenticated
- Logs are centralized and tamper-resistant

Zero-trust isn’t a buzzword — it’s how we avoid “accidental trust” becoming a security gap.

---

## 🔐 5. Transparent, Auditable, & Scalable

From Make.com to GitHub Actions, every automation we ship is:

- ✅ Version-controlled
- ✅ Logged in real-time
- ✅ Auditable with immutable records

Need a SOC2-friendly trace? Our builds leave a breadcrumb trail you can follow.
