Introduction: The Question
The afternoon after our grand opening, I pulled into the gravelly parking lot of Community Christian School. As I walked up to the front door, one of the other dads called out to me. With a smirk on his face, he threw a joke my way:
“Hey Dave! My wife and I were checking out your website, trying to figure out what you do, and honestly – it looks like you guys are laundering money. We couldn’t figure out what you do, Savvy Source must be a front?”
I laughed it off. After all, it was just some good-natured ribbing. I gave my elevator pitch and broke it down for him. But driving home, that joke stuck with me. It brought me back down to reality; off the cloud I had been floating on for the past few days.
It got me thinking: If our website leaves visitors confused about what Savvy Source does, we’ve got some clarity issues to address. And truth be told, I don’t think I’m alone here.
Across the SAAS Industry, companies often fall into the trap of over-complicating simple concepts to sound impressive and sophisticated. Just the other week, I came across a Facebook reel poking fun at exactly that. Businesses using jargon-filled descriptions to explain straightforward services. Leaving their audience puzzled, not impressed.
Thats why, with full transparency (and hopefully without triggering any FBI investigations), it’s time to get back to the basics. It’s time to clearly, simply, and genuinely answer the question:
“What does Savvy Source do?”
What We Really Do (And No, It Isn’t Money Laundering!)
At Savvy Source, we help our partners innovate by automating workflows, integrating systems, and eliminating inefficiencies – so their teams can focus on what truly drives success.
Sounds official, right? But that’s hard to translate into plain jane English. Let’s break that down a bit.
The Everyday Chaos of Work
Picture this: it’s a typical workday. Your inbox is overflowing with invoices and contracts. Your desk? Buried under a pile of documents you swear you’ll get to. Meanwhile you’re bouncing between three different programs. All of which are butt hurt and giving each other the silent treatment.
It’s manual. It’s repetitive. And honestly? It’s overwhelming.
I’ve been there. I remember joking with coworkers, during our group “therapy sessions,” calling ourselves CPPs – Chief Paper Pushers.
We weren’t wrong. All of our energy was being drained by the act of just trying to keep up.
Unstructured Content: The Digital Junk Drawer
Now think about your phone for a second. You’re trying to find that one photo from your vacation, but you’re scrolling past hundreds of selfies, memes, screenshots, and videos of your kids doing who-knows-what.
That’s what unstructured content looks like in a business. It’s not just messy; it’s mission-critical information stored with no real order: scattered emails, invoices squirreled away “somewhere safe,” contracts stuck in attachments or file shares with names like “final_v6_FINAL_revised.pdf.”
Unstructured content is everything that isn’t neatly organized or searchable. It’s the root of a lot of wasted time and headaches.
This Is Where We Come In
Savvy Source connects the dots. We specialize in tying together your business-critical systems—like your accounting software or ERP – with powerful tools like OnBase; which is designed to capture, manage, and organize unstructured business content automatically.
We automate the tedious stuff:
- Matching invoices to the right records
- Entering data into your system (without typos or late nights)
- Chasing down documents lost in the shuffle
Our solutions keep your data moving automatically and accurately – without human intervention. That means fewer errors, more saved time, and a whole lot less chaos.
No smoke and mirrors. No buzzword salad. Just straightforward, scalable solutions that give your team time back to focus on work that truly matters – the kind of work that drives purpose, progress, and results.
Why Businesses Actually Need Us
Businesses today are swimming in documents, digital clutter, and complex processes. They are usually juggling a variety of platforms; maybe QuickBooks for finance, Acumatica for inventory, or HubSpot for their CRM. In most cases, these systems don’t talk nicely to one another. The result? Employees spend countless hours copy-pasting data, manually verifying information, or worse, fixing costly mistakes.
Savvy Source solves these problems.
Here’s one example we’re especially proud of:
A longtime manufacturing customer doubled their revenue – from $125 million to $250 million over four years – without ballooning their headcount or burning out their team.
How? By leveraging the power of OnBase to automate workflows and streamline operations – and by leaning on our team at Savvy Source for continuous support.
They didn’t fall into the trap of bloated headcounts or chaotic systems. In the face of explosive growth, they scaled intelligently, purposefully, all with uncompromising operational efficiency.
That’s the kind of impact we aim for. Solving today’s problems and building systems that support your business today into tomorrow.
So, while we’re certainly not laundering money (sorry to disappoint!), we are making workflows a whole lot cleaner.
Why Simplicity Matters
It’s easy in tech, especially in SaaS, to get caught up in buzzwords and fancy sounding titles. But here’s the truth: nobody ever bought software because it sounded complicated. People want software to make their jobs easier, plain and simple.
That’s why at Savvy Source simplicity isn’t just part of our messaging – it’s at the core of everything we do. We build clear, intuitive solutions designed for real people, working real jobs, who just want things to work better. But don’t take our word for it, one of our HVAC partners recently left us a review:
“They were able to create something that ties everything together into a very simple, user friendly, platform.”
