Healthcare / Med Spa
Full patient data migration in 72 hours — not 6 weeks.
A Columbus med spa switching practice management platforms faced weeks of manual patient record migration. We built an automated extraction and transfer tool that completed the migration in 72 hours with zero data loss — giving their team their time back before they even launched on the new platform.

Restaurant Group
18 hours a week back. 32% increase in return visits.
A multi-location restaurant group was drowning in manual reporting, inconsistent staff communication, and missed customer follow-up. We connected their POS to an automated operations layer — weekly reporting, scheduling alerts, post-visit outreach — all running without anyone touching it.

James didn't just build us a system — he made sure we actually understood it. Six months later we're running everything ourselves and it's still saving us 15 hours a week.

About

The guide,
not the dev shop.


I'm James Francis, founder of Trailmark Ops. I started this business because I kept seeing the same thing: small businesses spending enormous amounts of time on work that AI could handle — and nobody helping them figure out where to start.

My approach is different. I don't build things for you and disappear. I find the highest-leverage opportunities in your specific operation, build the systems, and teach your team to own them.

01 →
Pricing anchored to ROI. You know exactly what you're getting and what it's worth before we start.
02 →
Teach, don't just build. Every system comes with training so your team runs it without us.
03 →
Practical over flashy. AI that solves real problems — not technology for technology's sake.
