Back office operations
Managed back-office operations for operator-led businesses
PodFleet runs the recurring back-office work that drains operator time but never makes it onto the roadmap. Scheduling, reporting, vendor coordination, ops dashboards, calendar management, and admin, all owned by a Pod.
What this includes
The deliverables, not the promises.
Specific functions the Pod owns end to end. No tiers, no add-ons.
Recurring admin and scheduling
Calendar management for the operator and the leadership team. Meeting prep, agendas, follow-up actions tracked to close.
Ops dashboards in Airtable, Notion, or Sheets
Designed, populated, and refreshed weekly. Single source of truth for the weekly review.
Vendor and contractor coordination
Onboarding new vendors, tracking SLAs, processing invoices into your finance stack, chasing deliverables.
Reporting and weekly business review prep
Numbers pulled, charts built, narrative drafted. POL walks you through it in the weekly review.
Finance ops liaison (not bookkeeping)
Invoice intake, expense submission, vendor payment scheduling. Pod hands off to your bookkeeper or finance team, does not replace them.
Internal communications coordination
All-hands prep, team announcements, doc maintenance, Slack channel hygiene.

Insight
How to read an ops dashboard in 60 seconds
Most ops dashboards are designed for the people building them, not for the founder reading them. Here is the 3-metric structure that lets a founder diagnose the operational state of their business in under a minute, every Friday.
Insight
The org chart is not the operating model
Most founders confuse the org chart (boxes for people they have) with the operating model (boxes for functions that need to run). The two are different things, and the confusion is why so many 7-figure businesses feel broken even when nobody is underperforming.
Insight
The per-client config template: how senior GHL operators answer 80% of tickets in under 90 seconds
The single highest-leverage document a GoHighLevel whitelabel agency can build is a one-page per-client configuration sheet. Here is the template, the fields that actually matter, and the workflow that keeps it current.
