Smarter finance for fast-moving firms

BB7 is a multidisciplinary fire and facade consultancy working across the UK and internationally. As they scaled, BB7 partnered with flowmondo to automate finance operations and bring forecasting, invoicing, and revenue recognition into a connected, intelligent system.

Disconnected systems, no finance visibility

Manual invoicing and forecasting made operations slow and error-prone.

search

BB7’s finance workflows were fragmented and heavily manual. Invoices were rekeyed from Scoro to Business Central, and forecasting relied on static spreadsheets with no real-time data. This led to errors, duplicated work, and limited visibility. As they scaled, BB7 needed an integrated system that could automate their full finance lifecycle, from invoicing and “fee bill” system to revenue recognition.

Airtable Operations Hub for Transport Management

Away We Go Transportation partnered with Flowmondo to replace a fragmented system of paper forms, Google Docs, and Zapier with an Airtable-based operations hub. Handling over 54,000 submissions annually, the project introduced automated ride allocations, financial workflows, and Make.com-powered integrations. Outcomes include elimination of 54,000+ manual entries per year, 80% reduction in manual ride allocation tasks, and 2x faster invoicing.

Custom Webflow booking platform with full Airtable integration

We replaced Villa Retreats Cyprus Ltd’s legacy booking system with a custom Webflow solution fully integrated with Airtable via Make.com and Wized. The new platform delivers 5× faster bookings, a 75% drop in support tickets, and 90% improved data consistency, enabling real-time sync, scalable architecture, and seamless operational control through Airtable.

Finance Reporting and System Monitoring Dashboard

We developed reporting dashboards in Airtable to provide BB7 with real-time visibility across invoicing and forecasting workflows. The system tracks sync success rates, highlights errors, and surfaces trends for proactive resolution. This monitoring layer reduced time spent diagnosing issues and gave stakeholders confidence in data accuracy and performance.

Real-Time Revenue Recognition and Forecasting System

We built an Airtable-based forecasting and revenue recognition system to automate and consolidate daily data pulls from BB7’s financial sources, replacing static spreadsheets with real-time insights. The tool supports work package-level tracking, improves planning accuracy, and gives the finance team a reliable, scalable foundation for future growth.

Airtable Validation Layer for Multi-Entity Finance Logic

To support BB7’s complex multi-entity structure, we designed a central Airtable junction table to manage invoice validation, mapping, and sync prep. This layer ensures data consistency before it reaches Business Central. Custom logic handles entity-specific fields, giving the finance team confidence in accuracy and full control over the sync process.

End-to-End Invoice Sync Between Scoro and Business Central

We built a Make.com-driven integration that automates the transfer of invoice data from Scoro to Microsoft Dynamics Business Central. This eliminated the need for manual re-entry, reduced the risk of errors, and saved valuable time for BB7’s finance team. The system handles data transformation, error detection, and sync triggers across multiple invoice types.

Automated Order Ingestion from EKM

We built Make.com workflows to pull new orders from EKM, clean and structure the data, and import it directly into Airtable. This eliminated the need for daily manual rekeying and significantly reduced data inconsistencies. The automation ensures every order enters the system cleanly, ready for batch grouping, production planning, and downstream tracking.

Timesheets that sync themselves

We helped PMSI eliminate double timesheet entry across Float and Xero by building a seamless integration that eliminates the weekly rekeying of timesheet entries into their billing system. This automation reduced manual admin across a team of 18, improved data accuracy, and gave directors a more reliable system for resource planning, reporting, and day-to-day financial visibility. It also meant that no billable time gets missed from invoices

Fully Automated Invoicing via Xero

We replaced manual invoice generation with automated Make.com workflows triggered by HubSpot events. These workflows create and send both deposit and service invoices in Xero, mark them as paid upon card processing, and deliver them to customers automatically, eliminating delays, reducing admin effort, and ensuring consistent financial documentation.

Streamlined Installation Scheduling and Communication

We developed a structured system to manage installation scheduling by aligning internal data points with customer updates. This eliminated reliance on ad hoc communication, improved handovers between departments, and ensured that customers received timely, consistent updates through automated touchpoints at key moments in the fulfilment process, making it more efficient.

Centralised and Enhanced Customer Data in Pipedrive

We built a structured system to consolidate customer records from multiple tools into Pipedrive, giving the client a single, reliable source of truth. This centralised view dramatically improved support response times, streamlined sales tracking, reduced internal confusion, and eliminated the inefficiencies caused by scattered customer data across systems.

Right report, right person, right time

We created a scheduling and distribution system that automatically sends reports to the appropriate stakeholders based on predefined schedules and triggers. The system handles everything from email delivery to secure portal uploads based on client preferences. The distribution system includes read receipts, engagement tracking, and automated follow-ups to ensure critical financial information reaches the intended recipients.

Custom Xero PDF Reports

We implemented a templating system that stored all client-specific formatting preferences in a central database. When generating reports, the system automatically applies the correct branding, layout, and data visualization preferences for each client. The solution includes a user-friendly interface where analysts can make quick adjustments to reports if needed, while maintaining version control and approval workflows.

It was the best decision we ever made. The only regret is not knowing you sooner to get you in at the start to see if there was anything we could have built then.
