What was said
What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Monique Jefferson matches orders, invoices and client lists by hand across three systems. A prior reporting tool failed after a month. She wants invoice checks before clients call and no tool to babysit.
What happened: Jordan Pike ran a discovery call with Monique Jefferson, Operations Manager. She described a weekly manual match of orders against invoices, with two missed invoices last month.
Customer view: A reporting tool built for finance teams was dropped after a month, so she is careful now. Her test for a no is another thing she has to babysit.
Commercial: The pain fits B-Viz built in the customer's own Snowflake account. Her president will ask about a security review, and client pay rates need tight access.
Watch: The evidence does not show a tier, budget or timeline. Monique is the only customer voice, and she does most of the work herself. A demo on her own data was agreed as the next step.

Next steps
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- Jordan Pike to arrange a demo on Plum Grove Staffing's own data with a solutions engineer and send Monique the times.
- Monique to send Jordan the list of systems with their owners.
Risks
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- A previous reporting tool fizzled out after a month, so the buyer is cautious about another failed rollout.
- A security review is likely, and her president will ask about it, which could slow a decision.
- She will reject anything that needs her to babysit it, so day-to-day running must not fall on her.
Opportunities
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026- B-Viz could replace her Friday export of two reports with an invoice check that runs before clients call.
- Client pay rates need tight access, which suits data held in the customer's own Snowflake account.
Transcript
Jordan PikeHi Monique, Jordan Pike from BG-Demo. Can you hear me? Great. Quick agenda and a time check: about forty minutes, first where you are today, then where it hurts, then what a good outcome looks like. Does that work?
Monique JeffersonHi Jordan. Yes, that works, and I can hear you fine. I've got the warehouse updates in another window, so forgive me if I look distracted.- Jordan PikeTotally fine. Let's start with the setup. Walk me through a normal Monday for your ops side.
- Monique JeffersonOkay. We staff warehouses around Chicago, so the first thing I do is check which client accounts have open orders, then which invoices are still unpaid. Those live in different systems, and I end up matching them by hand.
- Jordan PikeHow many systems are we talking about? Roughly.
- Monique JeffersonHonestly? Three main ones, plus a shared drive where people keep the paperwork. The order system is one, the billing system is another, and the third is the client list the sales team keeps.
- Jordan PikeAnd when you say matching by hand, what does that look like? Spreadsheet, email, or a phone call?
- Monique JeffersonAll three. I export two reports, put them side by side, and call the warehouse manager if something doesn't line up. It's not a great use of anyone's time.
- Jordan PikeTo be transparent, that's the most common thing I hear in this space. Who's doing that work today? Just you?
- Monique JeffersonMostly me. My colleague in finance helps when the invoices are messy, but I'm the one who ends up with the list at the end of the week.
- Jordan PikeSo you're the one who gets the call when something goes wrong. What does wrong look like? Give me an example.
- Monique JeffersonA client has an open order for a shift, but the invoice wasn't raised for the last week's hours. We find out when the client rings to ask why. That happened twice last month.
- Jordan PikeOkay. And that's costing you what, roughly? Time, money, or both?
- Monique JeffersonBoth, but mostly time. The money comes back eventually. The client relationship is what I worry about.
- Jordan PikeGot it. Thanks, that's exactly what I want to hear.
- Monique JeffersonMm. Sorry, the warehouse just messaged me. Carry on, I'm listening.
- Jordan PikeNo problem. Have you looked at any other tools, or is this the first time you've been asked?
- Monique JeffersonWe looked at a reporting tool last year. It was built for finance teams, so it didn't understand our shifts or our client accounts. We stopped after a month.
- Jordan PikeThat's a common story. Did anyone push for it, or did it just fizzle out?
- Monique JeffersonIt fizzled. Our president wanted something that just worked, and it didn't. That's why I'm careful now.
- Jordan PikeFair. Let's pin down success. If we were sitting here in six months, what would make this a yes?
- Monique JeffersonThat the invoice check happens before the client calls. And that I don't have to export two reports every Friday.
- Jordan PikeBoth very doable. What would make it a no?
- Monique JeffersonIf it's another thing I have to babysit. I don't have time to look after a tool.
- Jordan PikeGood, that's a fair test. We'd look at the set-up, the daily running, and who does what, so you're not the one babysitting it.
- Jordan PikeLet me check something in my notes, one moment.
- Monique JeffersonSorry, I'm back. Where were we?
- Jordan PikeWho should be able to see the data? I'd like to know before we talk about pages and access.
- Monique JeffersonThe sales team and the warehouse managers, not everyone. Client pay rates are the sensitive bit, so I'd want those kept tight.
- Jordan PikeUnderstood. The data would sit in your own Snowflake account, so your IT team controls who gets in. Would you need a security review before anything connects?
- Monique JeffersonProbably. Our president will ask. I'd rather know now than find out in week three.
- Jordan PikeGood. Next step is a demo on your own data. I'll get our solutions engineer to set it up with you.
- Monique JeffersonYes, please. Can you send me the times? And I'll send you the list of the systems with the owners.
- Jordan PikeWill do. Thanks, Monique. Speak soon.
- Monique JeffersonThanks, Jordan. Bye.
