The Challenge

New Steel Structures was managing $20M+ in projects across five states. The tools were solid. QuickBooks for accounting, Excel for analysis, SmartSheet for tracking. The problem? They didn't talk to each other.

  • Triple data entry: Bills entered in QuickBooks, SmartSheet, and Excel
  • Stale data: Tuesday WIP reports were already a week old
  • 25-30 hours/week spent on manual reporting and data assembly

The Solution

A unified operations dashboard pulling directly from QuickBooks, serving as the single source of truth. Real-time visibility into WIP, cashflow, collections, and project health, automatically synced every morning at 3am.

The Single Source of Truth Principle (SSOT)

Every calculation followed a strict 5-layer architecture. Data flows one direction only. From QuickBooks through the sync layer, stored raw in the database, calculated in the API layer, and displayed in the frontend. The #1 Rule: Frontend NEVER Calculates. If the same number could exist in two places with two different values, the architecture failed. This separation eliminated reconciliation errors entirely.

03 Database 44 Tables
04 API Layer 20 Endpoints
05 Frontend Display Only
