DateTheApp - Operations Consultancy & SaaS Platform Development

Most small businesses don't have a productivity problem—they have a systemic crisis. Founders lose 10-15 hours weekly (€107,250+ annually at €100-€150/hour rates) to manual data entry, duplicate work, and constant firefighting. DateTheApp addresses the root cause: the broken relationship between business processes and the tools meant to support them.

The Core Problem: Traditional consulting approaches fail because they treat processes and tools as sequential fixes. Reality is messier—bad processes make good tools useless (automating inefficiency), while bad tools make good processes impossible (forcing manual workarounds). Both together create compound dysfunction that caps revenue and strangles growth.

The Solution: DateTheApp uses an ecosystem approach, auditing the relationship between workflows and tools simultaneously. The platform helps businesses identify where time and money leak, then builds systematic solutions that work in practice, not just in theory, helping businesses avoid bad digital relationships and fall in love with tech again.

Current State: Operating as a consultancy with an active SaaS development track. The platform helps businesses visualize operational inefficiencies, track tool costs, and optimize workflows.

Technical Implementation: Developed on Lovable.dev with a Supabase database architecture managing multiple data streams: user information, app reviews (for the Explore page tool database), and workflow tracking. The platform features a comprehensive dashboard where users can monitor their tools, associated costs, and workflow dependencies.
