Is your tech stack a power tool or a SaaS soap opera?
Subscriptions stacked higher than your stress levels — paying £500+ a month to still not know what’s going on!
You’ve got apps. You’ve got logins. You’ve got dashboards coming out your ears.
And yet?
You still don’t know what’s really going on in your business.
You still can’t get a report without six Excel tabs and one Hail Mary.
And you’re paying over £500+/month for the privilege.
Let’s call it what it is: You’re starring in a SaaS soap opera — and not the good kind.
The modern business toolkit: Built on FOMO (fear of missing out) and monthly direct debits.
It started innocently enough…
You needed a finance system. Then a CRM. Then a comms. tool, a time tracker, a project manager, a reporting tool, a file-sharing platform, and a mood board because Sharon needed "visual clarity."
Suddenly, you’re juggling 15 apps, 15 invoices, and a slowly imploding internal team channel titled “TECH HELP PLEASE”.
Your stack isn’t a tool. It’s a tangled mess of features, forgotten passwords, and unused functionality.
Sound familiar?
You’re locked into five subscriptions you barely use.
You export reports from one system just to import them to another
None of your tools have been integrated (but oh, how they charge)
You’ve built a dashboard using Excel and rage
Nobody actually knows what the single source of truth is
If any of the above feels like your life, don’t worry. You’re not alone. But you do need to fix it.
A tech stack should be a power tool - Not a puzzle.
The point of tech is to make things easier, faster, and more insightful.
So if you’re working for your tools instead of them working for you, congrats — your tech stack is now your boss.
Ask Yourself:
Do you know what each tool does (and who actually uses it)?
Does your team understand how the stack fits together?
Are your tools automating anything, or just generating noise?
Can you get to key numbers (cash flow, margins, sales pipeline) in under 60 seconds?
If you answered “no” to most of the above, your stack isn’t a system. It’s a subscription-based scavenger hunt.
From SaaS Chaos to Clarity
Here’s how we start cleaning house:
1. Audit the chaos
Go through every app.
What’s it costing?
Who uses it?
What’s the actual ROI? (If the answer is “we might use it eventually”… cancel it.)
2. Consolidate where possible
You don’t need five tools that do 80% of the same thing.
Pick the ones that play nice with others.
Fewer tools. More connection.
3. Automate the Boring Stuff
If you’re still downloading CSVs and uploading to other platforms, you deserve better.
Integrate. Automate. Let Zapier/ Make or other tools live up to the hype.
4. Choose Systems That Actually Talk to Each Other
Xero + Dext + GoCardless
Your inbox + CRM + Project Manager + Time Tracker
5. Train the Team (Yes, Really)
It doesn’t matter how good your stack is if no one knows how to use it.
Your tech isn’t just a tool, it’s a culture. Get buy-in. Create process docs. Don’t let Dave “wing it” anymore.
What a great stack feels like:
You know where everything lives
You get real-time numbers without a 3-hour scavenger hunt
You scale without adding stress
You’re not haemorrhaging £79/month per tool because “it seemed cool at the time”
Tech is supposed to make you smarter, not poorer.
If you’re spending £500+/month and still saying “I don’t really know what’s going on,” your tech isn’t broken. Your setup is.
