You Don't Need a Fractional COO. You Need a Margin Recovery Partner.
A fractional COO manages your operations. A margin recovery partner finds and recovers the margin your operations are losing. Reflex delivers the operational improvement a fractional COO promises — powered by AI, guaranteed to deliver $50K+ in recovered margin, at a fraction of the cost.

The Process
How It Works
Diagnose
Our AI platform analyzes your team's actual workflows — which systems they use, in what sequence, where data moves between tools, where processes stall. No surveys, no shadowing, no disruption.
Fix
Your Reflex team builds a Priority List: every inefficiency ranked by dollar impact, with a recommended fix. Then we build and deploy the automations — working, in production, within 30 days.
Keep It Fixed
Operations drift. New hires bring workarounds, seasonal volume breaks processes, vendor updates create friction. We monitor continuously and adapt — your Priority List refreshes every month.
