Case Studies

Real Systems. Real Results.

These automations run in active construction and real estate businesses every day. Not demos. Not proofs of concept. Production systems I built and use myself.

  • AI Workshops

    Claude workshops for Wyoming small businesses

    "Build Once. Use Every Day." is a six-session Claude workshop series built and led with CyberWyoming for Wyoming sole proprietors and small businesses. Each session starts from one real problem, like a buried inbox or the same document written over and over. Everyone leaves with a working Claude Skill they built themselves.

    Rated 5 out of 5 stars on Google

    “Great Claude workshops - I like how he goes slowly enough that a group of learners can follow and make sure they actually tried the concept!”

  • Custom AI Connector

    Proton Mail connector for Claude

    Proton Mail is encrypted end to end and has no ready-made connection to Claude, so we built one. It installs as a single file in Claude Desktop and lets Claude read, search, send, reply to, and organize Proton mail through Proton's own Bridge app on the client's computer. The password stays in the Windows credential vault, and we stayed on it through setup until it ran on the client's machine.

    “Shepard Consulting contracted to write and support a key piece of AI interface I needed to access my data. Matt did what he said and more, when he said, and made sure I was 1000% satisfied. I am! Thank you, Matt.”

  • Short-Term Rental System

    The rental system we built for ourselves first

    AMS Holdings is our own rental company, and we built this system for it first. It handles guest messaging from booking to checkout, door codes that release only on a confirmed reservation, cleaner checks before every turnover, and books per property. It runs on our own doors today and cut overhead about 22% across the short-term rental portfolio.

    Rated 5 out of 5 stars on Google

    “Built me a great system for managing my short term rental. Stuck it out until I was happy and there were no bugs.”

Accounts Payable Automation

From 4 Hours a Week to 15 Minutes

A general contracting operation was manually processing vendor invoices: downloading PDFs from email, keying data into QuickBooks, cross-referencing against purchase orders, and filing everything. The office manager spent roughly 4 hours per week on this alone.

We built an automation using AI vision to extract invoice data as it arrives via email, validate it against existing vendor records and job codes, route it to the accounting system, and send confirmation back to the vendor. The entire process now runs untouched.

Timesheet Automation

Bilingual Timesheets That Actually Get Submitted

A construction company with bilingual field crews was losing hours chasing paper timesheets. Crew leads would forget to submit, entries were illegible, and the office spent every Monday morning deciphering and re-entering data into payroll.

We built a simple mobile form system in English and Spanish with SMS reminders that go out at end of shift. Entries are validated against active job sites, flagged if hours seem off, and fed directly into the payroll system. No paper. No chasing. No Monday morning headaches.

Marketing Automation

LinkedIn Content on Autopilot

A contractor wanted to build his presence on LinkedIn but had zero time to write posts between managing jobs and running estimates. Content creation always fell to the bottom of the priority list.

We set up an AI system that monitors construction and real estate industry RSS feeds, identifies relevant topics, generates posts in the contractor's voice and style, and queues them for a quick approval before publishing. The contractor spends about 5 minutes a day reviewing and approving instead of an hour writing.
