The company

A fast-growth contractor whose stack broke before the year was out

SpaceStars Deck Builders is a residential construction company that tripled revenue in six months and doubled headcount in the same window. Demand wasn't the problem — coordination was.

Sales lived in one tool, estimating in another, scheduling in a spreadsheet, and the job site ran on WhatsApp. By the time a deck was framed, a customer's information had been re-typed four times and three different people had a slightly different version of the truth.

The problem — in their words
We tripled revenue in six months and doubled the team. Our spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads couldn't keep up. Orqestrix rebuilt how we run the company in under two months — now everything lives in one place.
— Owner, SpaceStars Deck Builders
Before
  • WhatsApp threads as the system of record
  • 20+ disconnected spreadsheets across sales, ops, and field crews
  • Manual data entry and copy/paste between tools
  • Fragmented workflows across a team that doubled overnight
  • No single source of truth for jobs, leads, or scheduling
With Orqestrix
  • One platform every team logs into
  • No more paper handoffs or re-keying between tools
  • Coordinated workflows from sales to job site
  • A single source of truth for the whole company
  • Dashboards leadership actually trusts
How we worked

The Orqestrix method, applied to a real company

Three stages, one team accountable end-to-end. No agency hand-offs, no missed context.

01

Discovery

We mapped stakeholders, current-state workflows, and the moments where the business actually loses money. Owners signed off on the picture before a line of code was written.

02

Prototype-first

SpaceStars saw a working prototype of their platform before signing the build. No 60-page spec doc. No imagination tax. If it didn't feel right, we'd have iterated — or they'd have walked, no obligation.

03

8-week build

A focused build team shipped the modules in priority order, with the owners reviewing working software every week. Launch was a switch-flip, not a Big Bang.

What we built

One platform, five modules, every team logged in

SpaceStars Deck Builders' lead operations dashboard built by Orqestrix, showing appointments, close rate, and monthly trend charts.
A real view from SpaceStars' mission control.
  • 01

    Lead operations

    Inbound, qualification, and appointment booking flow into one pipeline. Close-rate and source attribution surfaced in real time.

  • 02

    Estimating & job intake

    Structured intake that captures the data the field team actually needs — no more re-asking the customer.

  • 03

    Scheduling & dispatch

    Crew assignments, calendar visibility, and job-status changes propagate to ops and sales without anyone updating a spreadsheet.

  • 04

    Field-to-office handoff

    Crew leads update progress from the job site. Office sees it the moment it happens — billing and follow-ups stop falling through the cracks.

  • 05

    Leadership dashboard

    The KPIs the owners care about, in one view. No more cobbling numbers together from five tools on Monday morning.

Outcomes

The numbers behind the pilot

20+ → 1
Spreadsheets replaced

One platform replaced the patchwork. Onboarding new hires went from days of tribal knowledge to a single login.

8 wks
Kickoff to launch

From first discovery call to the team using the platform daily — measured, not estimated.

$5M → $15M
Revenue growth supported

Growth that would've broken the old stack. The platform absorbed it without adding ops headcount in lock-step.

15 → 40
People on one system

From a handful of power users to a full crew. Every role — sales, ops, field — works inside the same system of record.

Revenue and headcount growth are SpaceStars' results. Orqestrix delivered the operational platform that let them scale without their systems collapsing under the weight.
