Case Study: Custom Workflow Automation

From 30–40 Days to 10:
How Flow Transformed EZ Par’s Project Approval Process

24-7 Press AI Solutions designed and built Flow, a custom workflow platform that helped EZ Par reduce project approval time from a typical 30–40 days to a conservatively reported 10 days on an early project result.

Key Result: EZ Par reduced a typical 30–40 day approval cycle to a conservatively reported 10 days with Flow.

The Process Was Slowing the Business Down

EZ Par’s project workflow involved multiple handoffs, disconnected tools, and manual follow-up — creating friction and slowing everything down.

No single place to see project status
Files spread across email and tools
Handoffs depended on memory
Estimates and deposits tracked separately
Status updates required manual check-ins
Projects lost momentum when they sat too long

The Problem Wasn’t Effort. It Was the System.

Great people were working hard, but the system created delays, confusion, and inconsistent outcomes.

The approval delay was a process problem — and process problems are solvable.

Days

Prior to Flow, EZ Par’s project approval process typically took 30 to 40 days. We are conservatively reporting a 10-day result on an early Flow project while additional data is being tracked.

We value transparency. Ongoing project data is being collected to validate long-term impact.

Cleaner handoffs between admins, project managers, and contributors.

Activity history creates accountability without micromanagement.

New projects enter a repeatable process instead of an ad hoc one.
