Buena Mesa Consultores — Digital Transformation by Maria Lorena Orozco SanchezBuena Mesa Consultores — Digital Transformation by Maria Lorena Orozco Sanchez
Buena Mesa Consultores is a HORECA (Hotel, Restaurant, Catering) consulting firm in Latin America. They were drowning in fragmented data: client information scattered across emails, WhatsApp chats, and paper notes. No centralized view of their consulting pipeline, no way to track which clients were active, and manual reporting that took days to compile.
What I Built
Centralized CRM System
Designed and implemented a CRM that consolidates every client interaction into a single dashboard. The consulting team can now see at a glance: active clients, pipeline stage, last contact date, contract value, and next action required. No more digging through email threads.
KPI Dashboard
Built automated dashboards that pull data in real time and display the metrics that actually matter: revenue per consultant, client retention rate, average project duration, and pipeline value by stage. The dashboards update automatically as data flows in.
Digital Transformation Roadmap
Created a phased implementation plan that moved the company from paper-based operations to a fully digital workflow. Phase 1 focused on CRM adoption, Phase 2 on automated reporting, and Phase 3 on client-facing tools.
Data Strategy
Established naming conventions, data entry standards, and automated validation rules so the CRM stays clean as the team grows. Built training documentation so new team members can onboard without breaking the system.
Buena Mesa HORECA Dashboard
Technical Stack
CRM: Custom-configured platform with automated workflows
Dashboards: KPI tracking with real-time data sync
Data Layer: Centralized database replacing fragmented spreadsheets
Documentation: Complete process maps and training materials
Result
The consulting firm went from zero operational visibility to real-time performance tracking across their entire client portfolio. Manual reporting that took 2+ days now happens automatically. The team can make data-driven decisions about which clients need attention, which consultants are at capacity, and where revenue is trending.
