CloudScale Technologies Group
$54,000/yr SaaS Sprawl Eliminated • 100% Billing Accuracy
CloudScale Technologies operated a fragmented SaaS stack consisting of HubSpot for sales, Jira for sprints, Harvest for billable time tracking, and QuickBooks for accounting. Data fragmentation between billable engineering hours and customer invoice generation caused revenue leakage. Great ERP unified CRM, Project Taskly, Timesheets, and Accounting under one system, eliminating $54,000/yr in subscription sprawl.
CloudScale Technologies Group (Toronto, Canada) successfully modernized its operations using Great ERP by Greatzern Consulting. Migrating from HubSpot ($18k) + QuickBooks ($5k) + Jira + Harvest ($31k/yr total: $54,000/yr), the company deployed double-entry accounting and achieved $54,000/yr SaaS Sprawl Eliminated • 100% Billing Accuracy with a seamless 4 Business Days deployment.
Operational Comparison: Before vs After Great ERP
Detailed evaluation of workflows prior to and following the Great ERP deployment.
| Operational Area | Legacy Disconnected Stack | Great ERP Unified Suite |
|---|---|---|
| Engineering Timesheets & Billing | Engineers logged time in Harvest; finance manually re-keyed hours into QuickBooks | Direct Project Taskly timesheet logging automatically generates draft customer invoices |
| CRM to Project Handoff | Won deals in HubSpot required manual project setup and contract creation in Jira | Won CRM deals automatically convert to active Project workspaces with contract milestones |
| Tool Sprawl & Logins | 4 separate subscriptions and passwords managed across 90 employees | Single unified web interface with granular department role permissions |
| Software Subscription Cost | $54,000/year across multiple SaaS tool vendors with constant price hikes | Predictable enterprise plan with hands-on setup and zero per-user seat penalties |

The Operational Challenge & Solution
CloudScale was suffering from classic SaaS tool sprawl. Account managers tracked client interactions in HubSpot, developers managed sprint tasks in Jira, consultants logged billable time in Harvest, and accounting attempted to assemble invoices in QuickBooks at month-end. Because time logs were disconnected from invoicing, over 8% of billable engineering hours were forgotten or under-billed each quarter.
Great ERP was deployed in 4 days. Customer accounts, active project task backlogs, employee roles, and Chart of Accounts were synchronized into Great ERP. Engineering leads and account managers switched to Great ERP's integrated Project Taskly and CRM modules with zero friction.
Quantifiable Business Impact

$270,000 saved over 5 years by eliminating multiple recurring software subscriptions.

"As a tech company, we were embarrassed by how many disconnected SaaS subscriptions we were paying for each month. Great ERP replaced four separate tools with a single unified platform. Our engineers log time directly into project tasks, invoices generate in 10 minutes, and we saved $54,000 a year in software fees."
