Frontier Consulting Delivers Reports 50% Faster

How a 10-person environmental consulting firm replaced enterprise CRM and time tracking tools with one platform — and cut report delivery time in half.

The Challenge

Frontier Consulting delivered environmental impact assessments, compliance audits, and remediation plans for real estate developers and government agencies. Salesforce tracked client relationships, Harvest logged time — but project delivery was a mess.

Reports required data from field assessments, lab results, regulatory databases, and internal review cycles. All of this coordination happened via email and spreadsheets. Average report delivery took 6 weeks, and clients were increasingly demanding faster turnaround.

  • 6-week average report delivery time losing competitive bids
  • Review cycles managed via email with no deadline tracking
  • Salesforce too complex for a 10-person team ($18K/year wasted)
  • Field data collection disconnected from report assembly

The Solution

Frontier migrated to Dewx in three weeks, building a streamlined project pipeline that connects field data collection through internal review to final report delivery.

CX Hub — Project Pipeline

Every assessment tracked from site visit through data collection, internal review, and final delivery with deadline alerts.

Portal — Client Delivery
