Before you buy another tool, find the part of the business actually worth fixing.
We look at how your business gets paid, wins customers, follows up, handles repetitive work, and uses software — then show you where the biggest opportunities are.
A practical look across the business.
Tell us a little about the business.
No obligation. We use the first conversation to understand the operation and decide what is worth reviewing.
A prioritized opportunity map — not a pile of software recommendations.
Revenue
Where better systems could capture more business or improve retention.
Cost
Potentially unnecessary fees, subscriptions, and inefficient processes.
Automation
Tasks owners and staff should not have to repeat manually.
Technology gaps
Missing or outdated systems that constrain the operation.
FAQ about the free audit
Straight answers to what business owners usually ask before requesting an audit.
What is a business technology audit?
A structured review of how your business gets paid, wins customers, follows up, handles repetitive work, and uses software. The goal is to find where revenue gets missed, costs creep up, and teams waste time.
What does Alderstone review during the free audit?
Payments and point of sale, website ordering and booking, customer acquisition and follow-up, administrative workflows, software spend, and AI and automation opportunities.
Is the audit really free with no obligation?
Yes. We use the first conversation to understand the operation and decide what is worth reviewing. There is no fee and no commitment required to request an audit.
Do I have to hire Alderstone after the audit?
No. You receive a prioritized opportunity map — not a pile of software recommendations. Implementation is optional if we identify a strong opportunity worth pursuing together.
What types of businesses does Alderstone work with?
Small and growing businesses including restaurants, salons and spas, home services, automotive shops, and online businesses. Industry examples are a starting point — your operation is still unique.
When does custom software make sense vs. an existing tool?
We reach for off-the-shelf products first. Custom software makes sense when your workflow is genuinely unique and an existing tool creates more compromises than it solves.
What services does Alderstone offer?
Payments optimization, websites and online ordering, AI and automation, and custom software. We configure existing tools, connect systems, work with qualified partners, or build lightweight custom software when needed.
You decide what is worth fixing.
If we identify a strong opportunity, Alderstone can propose and implement the solution. That may mean configuring an existing tool, connecting systems, working with a qualified partner, or building lightweight custom software. There is no requirement to move forward with implementation.
