Steel Vault Group builds the systems a court reporting firm runs on — deposition scheduling, reporter and videographer assignment, transcript production tracking, and invoicing — using modern automation. We're not consultants selling advice: we run a multimillion-dollar company of our own, and we rebuilt its back office first.
See How an Engagement Works The first workflow is built free. No contracts, no sales process.Most automation consultants have never run payroll, chased a late invoice, or watched a scheduling mistake cost a customer. We have. Steel Vault's principals operate a multimillion-dollar manufacturing company serving more than 600 commercial customers, and over the last year we rebuilt its entire back office — scheduling, production tracking, receivables, reporting — cutting hundreds of staff-hours every month.
Now we build those same systems for established, owner-run American court reporting firms. Everything we propose for your business is something we already live with in ours.
We've structured engagements so that all the risk sits on our side of the table.
Together we pick the single process that eats the most of your week — usually scheduling or job tracking — and we build it over four to six weeks, on our time, at no cost.
You run the system in your real operation and count the hours it saves. If the free build doesn't earn its keep, we part as friends. No invoice, no hard feelings.
Only once it's proven do we talk about a flat monthly fee to run, maintain, and extend the system. No contracts, no hourly billing, no enterprise sales process.
Deposition calendars, reporter and videographer assignments, and attorney confirmations that run themselves — no more phone tag, spreadsheets, or double-booked reporters.
One live view of every job from notice to delivered transcript, so the owner knows what's due, what's late, and what's billable without asking anyone.
Invoices that go out the day the transcript delivers — with exhibits, copy sales, and rush fees captured — and law firms that get chased politely until they pay.
Notices, worksheets, and repository uploads keyed once and filed everywhere they need to go — instead of re-typed by your best office person.
Jason spent a decade in user-experience consulting and operations leadership before taking over day-to-day operations of a multimillion-dollar manufacturing company. Frustrated by back-office software that never fit how the business actually worked, he rebuilt its systems end to end with modern automation — and Steel Vault Group grew out of that work.
Every engagement is overseen by Jason personally, and we take on a limited number at a time so that never changes.
We don't run ads, and we don't have a sales team. We research established services firms we believe we can genuinely help, and we write to their owners directly.
If we've written to you, simply reply to that email — it comes straight to Jason, the principal who would lead your build. He'll suggest the first workflow worth automating and you can take it from there.
