What a project looks like

Four ways practical systems take shape.

Each pattern starts with an operational constraint and shows the focused system Banyan designs around it.

Local Service Intake Cleanup

A service business gets inquiries by phone, web form, and email. Each lands somewhere different, follow-up depends on whoever saw it first, and nobody can say how many open requests exist right now.

A good fit for: Service businesses where inquiries leak between inboxes — trades, practices, property managers, agencies.

The approach

  1. Map where inquiries actually arrive and who touches them.
  2. Route every channel into one intake record with an owner and next action.
  3. Automate acknowledgement, reminders, and stale-request flags — with staff review kept on anything customer-facing.

What you’d receive

  • A connected intake workflow across phone log, forms, and email
  • CRM records created and updated automatically
  • A pending-work view the owner can check in ten seconds
  • Documentation and training for the staff who run it
Solution pattern

Private Document Assistant

Years of procedures, contracts, and institutional knowledge live in folders and inboxes. New staff ask the same questions; experienced staff spend hours re-finding what the organization already knows.

A good fit for: Firms and public-sector teams whose expertise lives in documents — legal, accounting, municipal departments, managed operations.

The approach

  1. Inventory the document sources worth trusting — and exclude the rest.
  2. Build a private assistant that searches and summarizes only those sources, always citing where an answer came from.
  3. Scope access by role, and keep generated summaries as drafts for human review.

What you’d receive

  • A staff-only assistant grounded in your actual documents
  • Source citations on every answer
  • Access scoping and a documented data boundary
  • A maintenance plan for keeping sources current
Solution pattern

Public-Sector Request Routing

Resident and interdepartmental requests arrive through a shared inbox. Assignment is manual, status lives in memory, and answering "where does that stand?" requires archaeology.

A good fit for: Municipal departments and public agencies handling recurring request types with small teams.

The approach

  1. Document the real request types and where each should land.
  2. Build routing that classifies and queues requests with an accountable owner — classification suggestions stay reviewable by staff.
  3. Give supervisors a status board; give staff a clean queue instead of an inbox.

What you’d receive

  • Routing rules and queues matched to your departments
  • Status visibility for supervisors without status-meeting overhead
  • Documented review points and ownership for every request type
  • An audit trail of what was routed where, and why
Solution pattern

Spreadsheet Workflow Replacement

A critical process runs on a spreadsheet only one person fully understands. It breaks when they are out, silently forks into copies, and can't notify anyone of anything.

A good fit for: Any team with a load-bearing spreadsheet and a person who dreads vacation.

The approach

  1. Map what the spreadsheet actually tracks — usually a workflow wearing a grid costume.
  2. Build a small internal tool with the same columns as fields, plus the things a spreadsheet can't do: ownership, status, notifications, history.
  3. Migrate the data, run both in parallel briefly, then retire the spreadsheet deliberately.

What you’d receive

  • A purpose-built internal tool your team owns
  • Automatic notifications and status tracking
  • History and accountability a spreadsheet cannot provide
  • Documentation so it outlives any single employee
