Replace the subscriptions. Automate the workflow. Own the application.
ITZ Consultants designs and builds custom AI applications for growing businesses with 100–3,000 employees — purpose-built around how your teams actually work, so you can retire overlapping SaaS tools, automate the manual steps in between and keep your data where it belongs.

Growing Companies Are Paying Rent on Software That Was Never Built for Them
Per-seat pricing, scattered data and generic workflows add cost every time you hire. AI has changed the economics of building: a focused application that fits your business now costs less than the subscriptions it replaces.
Subscription Sprawl
An applicant tracking system, an onboarding tool, a performance platform, a time-off app, a training platform and the automation glue connecting them. Each is cheap alone; together they are a six-figure line item that grows with every new hire.
Fragmented Data
Candidate, employee, performance and pay data living in separate vendors means re-keying, broken reporting and nobody with a single view of your people. Consolidation is often worth more than the dollars saved.
Workflow Mismatch
Generic SaaS forces your team to adapt to the tool. An application built around your hiring, onboarding, review or approval flow removes the steps people quietly do in spreadsheets and email.
How We Engage
Fixed scope. Fixed timeline. One application at a time — the same Diagnose → Design → Deliver approach we bring to enterprise HCM programs, sized for a business that needs results this quarter.
01
Stack & Workflow Review
2 weeks · fixed fee. We inventory every subscription you pay for, map the workflows they support and the manual steps in between, then identify where one owned application can replace several tools. You leave with a savings model, a prioritized build list and a go / no-go recommendation.
02
Build & Launch
3–8 weeks · fixed price. We design and build the application around your process — AI-assisted automation, role-based access, integrations to the systems you keep (accounting, payroll, email) and migration of your existing data. Your team is using it before the engagement ends.
03
Run & Improve
Monthly care plan. Hosting, security updates, backups, monitoring and a monthly improvement cycle — typically a fraction of the subscriptions retired. Add new workflows as the business grows, without renegotiating seats.
What We Build
Applications that deliver value in the first week. Each starts from something your business already runs every day — a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, a whiteboard — so migration is light and the result is visible immediately. Select a capability below.

Figures are representative, not a quote. Savings exclude the productivity gains from automated workflows and consolidated data, which are typically larger than the subscription savings. Systems of record — payroll, benefits administration, accounting — are kept, not replaced.

Your process is specific to your business and generic tools make you work around them
Reporting requires exporting from several systems and stitching by hand
Renewal-time price increases or vendor acquisitions have burned you before

Email, calendar and office productivity
Anything with deep compliance obligations you don’t want to own
Functions where you use 90% of a tool’s features and it fits well today
