Automation-as-a-Service · Local Businesses

You're spending 20+ hours a week on things that shouldn't require you. Follow-ups, reports, scheduling, review replies — work that runs your business into the ground before you ever grow it.

We automate the work
that's eating your time.

We identify your most painful recurring tasks and build AI systems that handle them automatically — lead follow-up, weekly reports, email triage, social monitoring, booking confirmations. You stay focused on the work that actually grows your business.

How It Works

We find what's costing you time.
Then we automate it.

Every business has 5-10 tasks that happen every week like clockwork — and don't actually need a human to do them. We identify those tasks, build AI systems around them, and hand you back your time. Starting with a conversation, not a contract.

Built for Your Business

See exactly what changes
for your industry.

Click your business type. We'll show you what's costing you right now — and what we build to fix it.

❌ What's costing you

Every hour your phone rings, that's an hour you're not cooking.

  • Manually answering Google reviews — or ignoring them entirely
  • No-shows with zero follow-up system
  • Reservation management done by phone + pen
  • Past customers you've never re-marketed to
✅ What we build

Systems that handle the front-of-house admin automatically.

  • Auto-respond to Google reviews (personalized, branded)
  • Reservation reminder texts that cut no-shows
  • Post-visit email / SMS sequence to bring guests back
  • Facebook & Instagram ads targeting your neighborhood
⚡ The win

"Owners report getting back 5+ hours a week on customer comms — without hiring anyone."

Your food gets the attention. The follow-up runs itself. New guests find you. Regulars come back more often.

Book a free call →
❌ What's costing you

Your front desk is spending half the day on calls that should be automated.

  • Manual appointment reminder calls (or none at all)
  • No 6-month recall system — patients just disappear
  • Zero process for requesting Google reviews post-visit
  • New patient intake done on paper and re-entered manually
✅ What we build

Automated patient touchpoints that run without your front desk lifting a finger.

  • SMS + email appointment reminder sequences
  • 6-month recall campaigns that bring patients back automatically
  • Post-visit review request flow (Google / Healthgrades)
  • Digital intake form → practice management system sync
⚡ The win

"Practices see 30%+ fewer no-shows after automated reminder sequences go live."

Your front desk handles patients — not the phone tree. Chairs stay full. Reviews build your reputation.

Book a free call →
❌ What's costing you

Leads come in over the weekend. By Monday, they've already hired someone else.

  • No automatic response when a lead fills out your website form
  • Quotes tracked in your head (or not at all)
  • No follow-up system after estimates go out
  • Invoicing and scheduling still fully manual
✅ What we build

A lead-to-job pipeline that runs even when you're on a roof.

  • Instant auto-reply to every web form inquiry (within 2 min)
  • Custom CRM to track every lead, estimate, and job
  • Automated follow-up sequence after estimates go out
  • Invoice reminder automation + job completion workflows
⚡ The win

"No more Monday morning catch-up. Every weekend lead gets a reply in minutes — automatically."

You close more jobs without doing more admin. The pipeline runs. You build.

Book a free call →
❌ What's costing you

Rebooking happens by accident. Loyal clients drift away without a system to keep them.

  • Booking done entirely by phone + Instagram DMs
  • No rebooking reminder — it's up to the client to remember
  • No way to know who your highest-value clients are
  • Reviews left to chance — most happy clients never post
✅ What we build

A loyalty and retention engine that keeps chairs full without the hustle.

  • Online booking integration (no more DMs for appointments)
  • Automated rebooking reminders at 4 / 6 / 8 weeks
  • VIP client tracker — flag your best clients, trigger perks
  • Post-visit review requests sent automatically
⚡ The win

"More repeat visits without chasing anyone. Your regulars come back — because the system reminds them to."

You focus on the client in the chair. Everything else — reminders, reviews, rebooking — runs on its own.

Book a free call →
❌ What's costing you

You work hard to get customers in the door once. Then they vanish.

  • No way to market to past customers after they leave
  • Marketing is guesswork — no data on what's working
  • Inventory tracked in spreadsheets (or memory)
  • No loyalty or re-engagement program
✅ What we build

A customer engine that turns first-time buyers into regulars.

  • Post-purchase email sequences (thank you → re-engage → offer)
  • Google + Meta ad campaigns targeting your zip code
  • Customer purchase tracking + loyalty triggers
  • Inventory alert automation — reorder before you run out
⚡ The win

"The same customers come back more often. New ones find you through targeted local ads. Revenue compounds."

You stop depending on foot traffic and start building a customer base that actually sticks.

Book a free call →
❌ What's costing you

You're great at closing deals. You're losing them to slow follow-up while you're at showings.

  • Leads go cold while you're with another client
  • No drip campaign — follow-up is manual and inconsistent
  • Client milestones tracked in your head
  • Past clients never hear from you between transactions
✅ What we build

A pipeline that follows up for you — automatically, consistently.

  • Instant lead auto-capture + 2-minute response sequence
  • Drip campaign for buyers and sellers (12-touch, automated)
  • Client milestone CRM — never forget an anniversary or closing date
  • Past client re-engagement campaign for referrals
⚡ The win

"Never lose a deal to slow follow-up again. The pipeline keeps moving — even when you're not at your desk."

More referrals from past clients. Faster lead response. Deals that don't slip through the cracks.

Career Background
Target Corporation · Medtronic · Sleep Number · M-RETS · API Group

Shannon Hutcheson, CSM — Senior Business Analyst and Certified ScrumMaster with 18+ years of experience bridging IT and business strategy across healthcare, financial services, and renewable energy. Most agencies hand your project to a junior consultant after the sales call. At Hutch Group, you talk directly to the person who's actually done this — at scale, at companies like Medtronic, Target, and Sleep Number.

That career included leading a $600M+ contact center modernization at Medtronic — a multi-year LLM and IVR program that automated patient call outcomes and cut E2E project cycle time by 20%, saving over $300K annually. At Target, he designed data validation frameworks for 65TB legacy migrations. At Sleep Number, he drove mobile app strategy and pioneered Agile adoption across IT teams.

All of that experience — diagnosing how work actually flows, finding where it breaks, and fixing it — is now available to small and local businesses that have never had access to that level of expertise. And unlike someone who just consults, Hutch Group actively ships real products: AI-powered tools, web apps, and digital platforms — built and running in production today.
