UpSys Consulting

Why not just hire an ops manager?

Adding a person without a system to manage creates overhead, not order. They'll build processes around the chaos instead of replacing it. We build the system first, then your ops person (or team) runs it.

Why not hire a freelancer to set it up?

You get a setup, not a system. It looks right on demo day and breaks under real-world use within weeks. We design for adoption , not just configuration, and stay through launch to make sure the system holds.

What tools do you work with?

We're tool-agnostic . Most of our clients use ClickUp, but we also work with Asana, Monday, Notion, HubSpot, and others. We pick the right tool for your situation , not the one we have a partnership with. If your current stack works, we build on top of it.

How long does an engagement take?

Our standard delivery is five weeks , from discovery to launch. Smaller scopes (single workflow automation, one department) can ship in 2 to 3 weeks . We scope precisely during discovery so there are no surprises on timeline or budget.

We already have ClickUp (or another PM tool). Do you still help?

Absolutely. Having the tool is step one. Most agencies we work with already own the right software. The gap is in how it's configured , how data flows between tools, and what's still being done manually. We take what you have and make it actually work the way you need it to.

Do you replace our operations team?

No. We make your existing team more effective. We build the systems, train your people, and leave. Your ops team runs the system after launch . If you don't have a dedicated ops person, we'll help you define that role and what they need to know.

What size companies do you work with?

Teams between 20 and 100 people . Most of our clients are agencies, but the work also fits boutique consultancies and other ops-heavy businesses in that size range. Below 20, the problems we solve usually haven't surfaced yet. Above 100, you likely need a full-time internal systems team (and we can help you hire one). The 20 to 100 range is where operational systems have the biggest impact on growth and profitability.

What does it cost?

For architecture projects, we charge a fixed fee based on complexity, starting at $5,000 . For ongoing automations and AI agents, we offer monthly retainers with unlimited requests starting at $1,000/month . The discovery call is free , and you'll get a detailed proposal with exact pricing before committing to anything.
