TideOps is an AI operations firm in Jacksonville, run by people who have owned and run businesses themselves. We find the hours and dollars your business loses to manual work, then put the right fix in place.
Examples, in hours per week. Not client data.

Most companies don't need more software. They need what they already pay for to actually work.

An assessment from TideOps follows the real work, from the first customer call to the final invoice, and shows exactly where time and money leak out. Usually the fix is a tool you can buy today, set up properly. When nothing fits, we build it.
Try it on one task
Pick one task your team repeats every week. Move the sliders to match it. The math is yours, not ours.

That's capacity, not cash. It turns into real savings only when overtime, a planned hire or a tool you pay for goes away. A full assessment shows which of those apply to you, and how much of this number you can actually recover. Start with the free 15 minutes.
Start with one problem. Expand only when the first fix pays for itself.
Fifteen minutes on your biggest bottleneck. You leave with one specific thing to try. No report, no obligation.
A 45-minute recorded interview with you plus the documents you choose to share. You get a written report with your top five opportunities, each with a cost range and the assumptions behind it, and a 30-day plan. You own it. Nothing gets built.
If you want us to put fixes in place, we price each one and you pick. Or take the plan and do it yourself.
Leadership and staff interviews, a short software survey, document review, a working demo of your most expensive problem, and a leadership readout. Quoted after a scoping call. The retainer keeps it going: monthly builds, training and tracking.
Path 1Owner-led
You run the place and you're the bottleneck. You want hours back without becoming a tech person.
Path 2Larger companies
Usually 25+ employees or $5M+ in revenue
Several teams, real labor costs, and nobody in-house who owns AI. You want an outsourced AI department, not another vendor.
How an assessment works
This is the in-depth version, the one larger companies buy. The $999 assessment follows the same four steps with one interview, you, and the documents you choose to share.
Illustrative · fictional company · in-depth assessment
Office staff spend an estimated 31 to 42 hours a week on work that existing tools can take over. Three of five opportunities need no new software.
Each estimate is rebuilt from a blank spreadsheet. Field notes are retyped into the office system at the end of every day. Change orders wait on one person's approval.
Not counted as savings: time freed on tasks where no cost goes away. Listed separately.
Then: a working demo of the pricing tool on five real past jobs.
Sample pages from an in-depth assessment, fictional company. The $999 assessment covers one interview and the owner's documents.
The owner first, then the team: a short survey of the software everyone uses, and 30-minute interviews. We always ask before recording.
Real documents like past estimates, reports and forms show where the same information gets handled twice and where jobs wait.
Each finding is scored on impact and effort, with a cost range and the assumptions behind it. You see what to do first and what to skip.
If you choose to go ahead, we put the first fixes in place, train your team, and build a working demo of the most expensive problem on your own data. Every fix runs beside the old way on your real work until it proves itself; nobody depends on it before then.
Plenty of AI pitches promise fifty times your money back. We'd rather hand you a number that holds up when someone checks it.
Time freed up counts as savings only when a real cost goes away: overtime, a planned hire, a subscription you cancel.
Every estimate shows what it's based on, so you can check it yourself.
If we don't have the data, the report says so. We don't fill gaps with industry averages.
If AI isn't the right fix, or something cheaper already exists, we tell you.
Three co-founders in Northeast Florida: decades of owning and running operating businesses between us, and a software developer to keep the technology honest.
01
Co-Founder and Managing Partner
Eleven years in residential homebuilding, land acquisition and new home sales in Northeast Florida, which is where he learned how operational and financial problems actually show up in a growing business. He sets TideOps' direction and decides what the firm says yes to. His test for any recommendation is simple: technology should serve the business, not the other way around.
02
Co-Founder and Director of Business Strategy
A software developer by background, which gives him a technology-informed read on what a fix will actually take. He leads strategy and partnerships, maps how work really moves through a client's organization, and keeps refining the process we use to find and fix inefficiencies. His job is the bridge between a business problem and a fix that holds up.
03
Co-Founder and Director of Operations Advisory
Thirty-five years owning and running a construction business. He knows firsthand what it takes to manage people, money and time in a company that has to deliver every week, and he brings that owner's view to every recommendation. His role is to make sure what we propose works in the field, not just in a demo.
No. You know your business; we work out where AI fits and handle the setup.
It's used only to reply to you and to do your assessment, and it's never sold or passed to anyone outside that work. The form on this page is delivered to our inbox by an email relay service; the details are on our privacy page. We'll sign an NDA if you'd like, and we always ask before recording a conversation.
Yes. The findings and the plan are yours, whatever you decide.
The 15-minute consultation is free. The assessment for an owner-led business is $999 and ends with a written plan you own. Putting the fixes in place is a separate step, quoted per job, and you can do it yourself from the plan. For larger companies the in-depth assessment is quoted after a scoping call, and the ongoing work is a monthly retainer.
The free 15 minutes happen within a few days of your request. The assessment report arrives about a week after the interview. If you hire us for the setup, the first fixes go in within days of the review call and the working demo follows.
Free 15-minute consultation
A few details about your business and five short questions, about three minutes, then you pick a time for your 15 minutes. We read your answers before the call, and you'll leave it with one specific fix to try, whether or not you ever hire us.
Three minutes, then pick a time for your call. No pitch. Your numbers stay yours.
