Operations advice for businesses that outgrew the spreadsheet

Alanova works with owner-operators across Geelong and regional Victoria to tidy up the systems, process and reporting a growing business runs on.

How we're useful

  • We start with what's actually happening

    Before recommending anything, we sit with the people doing the work and map the job as it runs today — including the workarounds nobody documented.

  • Plain findings, in writing

    Every engagement ends with a written summary you own: what we found, what to change first, and what it will take. No lock-in to a tool or a retainer.

  • Sized for a regional business

    Advice pitched at teams of five to fifty, where one person usually wears three hats and there is no internal IT department to hand things to.

Services

Four places we're usually called in

Engagements are scoped as a fixed piece of work with a defined output, so you know what you're buying before it starts.

Business systems review

A structured look at the tools and handoffs you already pay for, where they overlap, and where work is being re-keyed by hand between them.

Process design and documentation

Turning the way your team works into procedures someone new can follow, so quoting, scheduling and invoicing don't depend on one person's memory.

Reporting and management data

Getting a small set of numbers you trust in front of you each month — margin by job, labour recovery, debtor days — from the data you already capture.

Software selection support

An independent shortlist and requirements brief before you sign, plus a hand on the tiller through migration and the first month of live use.

Who we are

An independent practice, not a software reseller

Alanova Pty Ltd is an Australian proprietary company registered in Victoria and working out of Geelong. We take no commission from vendors, which means the recommendation you get is the one we'd act on ourselves.

Most of the businesses we help have grown past the point where one shared spreadsheet and a good memory can hold the operation together, but aren't large enough to hire an operations manager.

  • Fixed-scope engagements with a written deliverable
  • No vendor commissions or referral fees
  • Work delivered on site around Geelong or remotely
