About John Cole

I build internal systems that replace the spreadsheets, manual processes, and duct-taped tools that slow growing businesses down.Most teams hit a point where Excel and Google Sheets can’t keep up. Data gets duplicated, formulas break, and key workflows depend on the one person who knows how everything fits together. That’s operational risk — and it gets expensive fast.This is where I help.As the founder of Stax, I design and build custom internal tools that streamline workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and connect the systems you already use (QuickBooks, Stripe, CRMs, warehouse tools, shipping carriers, and more).Typical outcomes:Significantly less manual admin workFewer errors and less reworkReal-time visibility into operationsProcesses that scale cleanly as the team growsA reliable system that doesn’t break when someone updates a cellWhat I build:Internal tools that replace spreadsheet-driven workflowsWorkflow and approval automationInventory and warehouse systemsReal-time operational dashboards & reportingIntegrations between existing platforms and APIsCustom applications built around your exact processesHow I work:Every project is delivered with a fixed price, clear scope, and fast turnaround.Most systems are designed and launched within 2–6 weeks.No hourly billing. No over-engineering. No drama.If your team is spending hours fixing spreadsheets, copying data between tools, or fighting processes that should have been automated years ago, we should talk.Send a message or book a quick call — I’m happy to take a look at your workflow and give you a few practical next steps.
