Introduction

Imagine cutting hours of manual work each week while gaining real-time insights that drive smarter decisions for your business. Pipe dream? Not really. We proved it.

As a fast-growing business owner – founder & CEO of 2 (extremely demanding) companies, I needed to automate our businesses to deliver the highest quality outcomes to our customers and reduce operational complexities.

At HyperTrends, we built over 50 internal software modules for our upcoming Software Factory.

So, why not just leverage these battle-tested, highly performant tools to solve our own problems first? Genius!!

One standout tool we built for internal purposes is HyperDaily—an AI-powered solution that tracks team sentiment, automates time tracking, and creates executive summaries and automates invoicing.
