Automation for Managed Service Providers

Connect your PSA, RMM, documentation, quoting, and accounting tools so billable time stops leaking, tickets stop duplicating, and your team stops re-keying data across systems.

Challenges We Solve

These are the most common challenges facing managed service providers. Click “See the solution” on any card to see how we fix it.

The Problem

Unlogged Billable Time

Techs do RMM and remote work that never makes it into a PSA time entry, quietly eroding realization and revenue every week.

Our Solution

Automated Time Capture

We connect RMM and remote-session activity to your PSA so billable work becomes a time entry on the right ticket and agreement automatically — recovering realization that used to leak.

The Problem

Manual Ticket-to-Invoice Reconciliation

Someone re-keys closed tickets and agreements from the PSA into QuickBooks or Xero every billing cycle, with errors and delays baked in.

Our Solution

PSA-to-Accounting Sync

Closed tickets, agreements, and usage flow from ConnectWise PSA or Autotask into QuickBooks or Xero on a schedule, with mapping and validation so invoices match reality without manual reconciliation.

The Problem

Alert Storms & Duplicate Tickets

RMM alerts flood the PSA as duplicate, unowned tickets, burying real incidents and burning service-desk attention on noise.

Our Solution

Alert Deduplication & Routing

Incoming RMM alerts are deduped, correlated, and routed into the PSA as single owned tickets — so storms collapse into one actionable item instead of fifty.

The Problem

Re-Keyed Onboarding Data

New clients and assets get hand-entered across PSA, RMM, IT Glue or Hudu, and email security — slow, inconsistent, and out of sync the moment it's done.

Our Solution

Onboarding Data Propagation

Create a client or asset once and we propagate company, contact, and asset records across PSA, RMM, IT Glue/Hudu, and email security so every system agrees from day one.

Workflow Automation

Common Managed Service Providers Workflows

See how we automate the workflows that matter most to your business—from understanding to implementation.

1 of 3

Unlogged RMM Work to Billable PSA Time Entry

Technicians run scripts, patch, and resolve issues through the RMM and remote tools, but much of that work never gets logged. This workflow captures session and task activity, matches it to the right ticket and agreement, and creates a reviewable time entry in the PSA automatically.

Job to Be Done

Turn remote and RMM work that techs actually do into accurate, billable PSA time entries so realization stops leaking

Trigger: RMM task or remote session completed

Workflow Steps

STEP 1
Capture Activity

RMM task, script run, or remote-control session completion is detected with technician, device, and duration

Frequently Asked Questions

Which PSA and RMM platforms do you work with?

We work with ConnectWise PSA and Autotask PSA, and RMM platforms including Datto RMM, NinjaOne, and N-able. We built both Autotask's and ConnectWise's official Zapier apps and have 9+ years on both REST APIs, so we know these systems deeply — not just at the surface.

Do you replace our PSA, RMM, or documentation tools?

No. Our philosophy is connect, don't replace. You keep ConnectWise or Autotask, your RMM, and IT Glue or Hudu — we build and manage the connections between them so data flows correctly and billable work doesn't leak.

Can you sync our PSA with QuickBooks or Xero?

Yes. We sync closed tickets, agreements, and usage from ConnectWise PSA or Autotask into QuickBooks or Xero with mapping and validation, so invoices match what your team actually delivered without manual reconciliation.

We want to use AI agents in our service desk — can you help?

AI agents are only as good as the data underneath them. We make sure your PSA, RMM, and documentation are synced and trustworthy first, so any AI you layer on top is acting on accurate, current data instead of hand-keyed records.
