Minding Your Business- Chatham Oaks Growth Solutions

Taking the complexity and confusion out of tech and artificial intelligence is exactly what the crew at Chatham Oaks Growth Solutions (COGS) does on a daily basis for organizations and businesses all over Cape Cod. In a world of chatbots and AI, COGS knows the lingo and walks the walk with their clients every day, making the unknown more familiar and comfortable. The team is small but mighty, headed up by Matt Stephens and Cole Lander, who founded the company. They primarily focus on seasonal regions like Cape Cod, coastal Maine and New Hampshire. It is their mission to integrate technology strategies with the goal of giving local businesses back the valuable gift of time.

“My family has been coming to the Cape for our whole lives,” Lander said. “I really grew to love it here and learn the intricacies of what it’s like to live down here in the local community. And learned how close this community actually is. Our goal is to save businesses time.”

The basis of the COGS model is to assess how to make the technology and software that businesses are already using more efficient and smoother. Lots of local companies are already using programs like ChatGTP, Quickbooks, Squarespace or Shopify in their day-to-day operations. COGS audits the entire operation and makes sure all possible efficiencies are in place. They ensure that all of the systems are “talking” to each other properly. By doing this type of streamlining, businesses are able to cut back on administrative tasks and save time and money by linking the tools together to simplify workflow. They have two major programs to pick from called TREK and Switchback. Depending on your priorities, COGS helps you pick which is best for your business model.

“We call it a tech audit on the business operations from top to bottom,” Lander said. “Where do you track inventory? What do you do for marketing? We map out their entire business process and literally make a map of it so we can visualize every single part of that person’s business. And then we piece it together from there: what can be made more efficient? Where is time being lost? How can we make this more efficient? Where are you losing money? This becomes a partnership that can help the business grow.”

Stephens notes that by working with COGS, clients are really able to quantify the results by seeing real analytics that prove recovered time and cost-cutting in operations. He says that being able to measure the hours saved and track traffic growth is a huge benefit of working with their team.
