  • Houston-based
  • Operator-led
  • Human review on customer-facing sends
  • Built around your existing tools
  • No tool migration unless the audit says it's necessary

Houston-based. Serving established businesses across the Houston metro — from the Energy Corridor and Sugar Land to the Bay Area, Galveston County, Katy, and The Woodlands.

01 / THE PROBLEM

Your team is busy. The wrong things are getting their time.

  • Inbound leads sit in inboxes for hours before anyone replies.
  • Quotes take days to put together because the information lives in someone's head.
  • Follow-ups get dropped when the team gets busy.
  • Marketing posts go out for two weeks, then stop.
  • The same admin tasks eat the same hours every week.

These are not technology problems. They are workflow problems. We fix the workflow first, then put AI behind the parts that actually need it.

02 / WHO WE HELP

Built for established Houston-metro businesses — not enterprise, not pre-revenue.

If your team knows it's losing time on quote turnaround, lead response, follow-up, or admin — and you've been operating long enough to feel that loss in the P&L — you're who we build for. Not startups looking for an AI strategy. Not enterprises looking for a procurement vendor. Operators who want the friction out of the work that already runs.

WE WORK WELL WITH

  • Industrial suppliers and distributors
  • Manufacturers and fabrication shops
  • Commercial and specialty contractors
  • Field-service companies with sales teams
  • B2B service firms with quote-heavy delivery
  • Local professional services with marketing or admin bottlenecks

03 / WHAT WE BUILD

Five workflow categories. One way of working.

01

Inbound never gets cold. Lead intake, qualification, and first-response drafting handed off to a system that watches the inbox and the form so your reps don't have to.

Example: sample scenario — an inbound lead lands Friday afternoon and a draft reply is queued for the rep within minutes.

02

The quote your team writes by hand, written by a system that knows your catalog, your pricing rules, and how you talk to customers. Your team reviews the draft, edits, sends.

Example: sample scenario — a one-paragraph email request becomes a structured quote draft with line items, ready for review.

03

The institutional knowledge that lives in the senior estimator's head, the dispatcher's spreadsheet, and three folders nobody can find — made queryable. New hires stop interrupting. Old hires stop repeating themselves.

Example: sample scenario — a new hire asks "what’s the lead time on these bearings?" and gets the answer with a source link.

04

The cadence problem solved. Posts, review requests, list segmentation, and outbound rhythms drafted and queued on a real schedule — not when someone remembers.

Example: sample scenario — 90 days of LinkedIn posts and Google review requests scheduled, drafted, and queued for one-click approval.

05

The reporting, summarizing, and routing work that nobody wants to do but everybody does. Pulled out of someone's Tuesday morning and into a system that runs on its own.

Example: sample scenario — weekly sales pipeline summary written for the GM by a system instead of by hand.

04 / HOW WE ENGAGE

A clear path. No mystery contract.

The engagement is designed to move through these four stages. You can stop at any point. The audit is the first step. The build is where the time and revenue impact actually show up. The retainer is where workflows stay tuned over time.

05 / SAMPLE WORKFLOW

What an implementation actually looks like.

Take an industrial supplier with heavy daily quote-request volume. Email arrives, somebody parses it, somebody pulls up the catalog, somebody calls the warehouse, somebody drafts the quote, somebody sends it. By the time it goes out, the buyer has already asked two competitors. The before is the bottleneck most distributors recognize on sight. The after is what we build.

Sample workflow — quote turnaround, before and after Illustrative quote-turnaround workflow. Before: six manual handoffs across one to three business days. After: a six-stage automated pipeline with a human-review gate, designed to produce a reviewable draft in minutes.

The work is hands-on. Local. Houston-based. Same-week on-site across the Houston metro when the workflow calls for it.

06 / HOW IT WORKS

Six steps. No mystery.

  1. 01

    Diagnose the bottleneck

    Watch the work for a day. Find the spot in the workflow where time, revenue, or attention is leaking.

  2. 02

    Map the current workflow

    Document what your team actually does — not what the org chart says they do. Tools, handoffs, decision points, idle time.

  3. 03

    Identify the highest-ROI automation

    Rank candidates by hours returned, revenue captured, and risk. Pick the one with the cleanest first build.

  4. 04

    Build a fast pilot

    Front-to-back pilot in one to three weeks, integrated with the tools you already use, with human review on anything customer-facing.

  5. 05

    Train the team

    Walkthroughs with the people doing the work. Written runbooks. Edge cases. The system stays useful only if the team trusts it.

  6. 06

    Monitor and improve monthly

    Workflows drift. Catalogs change. Customers change. Monthly tuning keeps the build honest.

07 / FOUNDER

Built by an operator, not an agency.

Conaway Systems is run by an operator who has spent years inside the kind of revenue work most local businesses are still doing manually — prospecting, quoting, follow-up, deck building, pipeline discipline. On the marketing side, the same hands run content strategy, posting cadence, and lead-generation execution for a separate brand.

That combination — sales operator and marketing operator — is the difference between a tool installation and a workflow that actually moves revenue.

Currently taking on new Houston-metro engagements.

08 / SERVICE AREA

Houston metro. On the ground.

We work across the Houston metro — Harris, Fort Bend, Brazoria, Montgomery, and Galveston counties. That includes central Houston, the Energy Corridor, the Bay Area, Sugar Land, Katy, The Woodlands, Pearland, Pasadena, Deer Park, Baytown, League City, Friendswood, Clear Lake, Webster, Galveston, La Marque, and Texas City. Most engagements run remotely with on-site visits when the workflow calls for it. If you're in the Bay Area or Galveston County, we can be at your office same week.

09 / FAQ

Direct answers.

How fast can you start?
Most fit calls happen within the week. Audits typically kick off within seven days of a signed scope. Pilot builds usually start within two weeks of the audit. The bottleneck is almost always your team's calendar, not ours — the discovery call and the walk-the-work session need real attention from someone on your side.
Will AI replace my staff?
No. Every workflow we build keeps a human in the review loop on anything customer-facing — quotes, proposals, follow-ups, marketing. The system drafts and prepares; your team reviews and sends. The point is to remove the prep work, not the judgment. The time freed up is meant to go back into the higher-judgment work that was getting crowded out.
Do you require us to switch tools?
No. We build around the tools you already use. If something would genuinely help, we tell you and explain why. We don't resell software, we don't have referral relationships with vendors, and we're not paid to recommend any particular tool. The build is in your tools, owned by you, with you holding every account.
What if we don't know what to automate?
That's what the audit is for. We watch the work, surface the bottlenecks, and rank what's worth fixing first. Most operators have a hunch about where time is leaking; the audit tests the hunch and either confirms it or finds a bigger leak somewhere else. The output is a written diagnosis, not a sales pitch.
How do you communicate during a build?
Weekly written Monday updates and two milestone demos per build. No constant chat noise. The Monday update covers what shipped, what's next, and where we need a decision. The milestone demos are scheduled, not surprise drop-ins. Email or Slack for ad-hoc questions, with a one-business-day reply standard.
What's the audit cost?
Priced privately after the fit call. We keep pricing off the public site on purpose — every workflow is different, and we'd rather scope it right than anchor low. The audit fee is credited against the pilot build if you decide to move forward. Fit calls are designed to end with a written scope and a price within two business days.
