Dossier · Water treatment · Since 1995

Thirty-one years of paper, turned into an operating system.

Jones Air & Water has treated St. Charles and St. Louis water since 1995: owner-installed, WQA Master Water Specialist, the kind of reputation you cannot buy. Their customer book lived in binders on a shelf. We turned the binders into software they own.

SEO lost replatforming the 30-year domain
The renewal book was the business. It lived on paper, and every missed page was a quiet loss.

Three decades of customers. Softener installs, RO systems, filter changes due every year, all tracked on handwritten route cards filed in binders. The family knew the book cold, but the book could not call anyone, and it could not tell you who was overdue.

We photographed every card and put a vision model to work reading them: names, addresses, equipment, service history, phone numbers, cross-matched against 3,761 QuickBooks customer records. The result was 905 living service plans with due dates, not memories.

Then we rebuilt the rest of the machine around it: the CRM their team logs into every morning, QuickBooks syncing hourly in the background, and a website that turns “what is in my water” curiosity into booked tests.

What changed

What changed for Jones.

The book came alive.

A renewal business that ran on paper now surfaces exactly who is due, with 222 customers flagged in the first pass.

The books agree.

QuickBooks and the CRM sync hourly, so the owner sees billed, collected, and owed without asking anyone.

The site earns its keep.

A 30-year domain kept every ranking through the replatform and now converts curiosity into booked water tests.

Nothing is rented.

The CRM, the site, the data, the tools: owned by the family that built the business, like the business itself.
