For Front Range trades and professional-service owners

Your business still runs through you. Groundwork runs the back office instead, so you can run the business.

Groundwork is your company's own back-office platform, installed by M7 and run for you. It reads what is already happening and turns it into drafts, checklists, and a calendar you actually keep. It prepares the work. You approve it.

The bottleneck is you

Everything still comes back to your desk

Every email, every follow-up, every "did we ever get back to that guy." The hiring paperwork, the proposal that needs to go out, the compliance date you only remember when it is almost late. You did not start the business to run its back office, but here you are running it anyway. Groundwork takes the routine part off your plate without taking you out of the decision.

One platform, five departments

The back office of a much bigger company, sized for yours

Groundwork runs the routine work across your whole operation and brings it into one place, skinned to look like your company, not ours.

How it works

It prepares the work. You release it.

The whole model is simple on purpose. Groundwork does the drafting and the tracking. Every action that leaves your company waits for your one click.

Step 1

One click to start

On a 15 minute call, your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace account asks to allow Groundwork to read your mail and calendar. You click yes. No migration, no new inbox, no software on your machines. That is the entire IT project.

Step 2

M7 sets it up for you

We spend the first two weeks learning your business: your people, your customers, what urgent looks like for you, how you sound. The system runs quietly in the background and only we see it, until it is right.

Step 3

You approve, a few taps a day

Read the two minute brief in the morning. Through the day, open Approvals when you have a minute, and approve, edit, or reject. Approved messages send from your own address. Nothing goes out on its own.

Your data, your control

Built so you can trust it, and turn it off yourself

Your mailbox stays yoursGroundwork reads your mail in place, inside your own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace account, to do its work. It does not move your mailbox. What it drafts lives in your own isolated Groundwork, and you get a full export any time.
Nothing sends without your approvalGroundwork drafts. You release. Every message that leaves your company waits for your click.
You can revoke access in one clickYou granted access, and you can turn it off yourself in Microsoft or Google any time, no call to us required.
You own your knowledgeThe playbooks we build about your business are yours, in plain files you keep. You rent the platform; you own what it learns.

Let's talk

See it running, and get a real number

The best way to understand Groundwork is to see it in action. Reach out and we will walk you through a live demo, then talk about what yours would look like and what it would cost. This is JT's own system. He built it, he runs it, and he answers the phone.
