“Did That Get Done?” How Automation Saved One Business Owner 5 Hours a Week

“Did That Get Done?” How Automation Saved One Business Owner 5 Hours a Week

May 16, 20252 min read

If you’ve ever felt like the default communication style in your business is asking, “Hey, did that get done?”—this blog is for you.

Business owners wear a thousand hats, but playing project manager 24/7 shouldn’t be one of them.
At Dallowry, we help teams operate smarter with systems that communicate, follow up, and confirm without constant oversight.

Here’s how one client saved over five hours a week (and avoided burnout) by implementing just one automation—and how you can too.


The Problem: Too Many Follow-Ups, Not Enough Trust

Our client had a small but mighty team.
She trusted them—but found herself checking in constantly:

  • “Did the email go out?”

  • “Did we schedule that post?”

  • “Did the client get a follow-up?”

It wasn’t micromanagement—it was survival.
Because if something slipped, it affected customer experience, credibility, and revenue. But it was wearing everyone out.


The Solution: Visibility Without Nagging

We implemented a simple automation inside DallowryFlow:

  • Every task now shows a green checkmark when complete

  • Owners can see email sends, post status, and scheduled content at a glance

  • No more asking. No more guessing. No more “where are we on this?”

One dashboard. One answer. No extra conversations needed.


Why It Matters (Beyond Time)

This wasn’t just about saving time. It was about saving trust.

When the owner no longer had to double-check everything, her team felt empowered.
They made decisions faster, worked more independently, and took more initiative—because they knew she wasn’t breathing down their neck.

And the owner? She went on a month-long international trip with zero interruptions and came back to a business still running strong.


The Results:

  • ✅ 5+ hours/week saved in follow-ups

  • ✅ Team confidence and morale increased

  • ✅ No missed client emails or forgotten posts

  • ✅ Less stress and more time to lead—not chase


Want to Stop Asking “Did That Get Done?”

We can build this into your system in less than a day.
You’ll get visibility, accountability, and peace of mind—all without sending another check-in text.

Let Dallowry show you how.
