Varde Labs is an AI operations and workflow automation firm based in Bend, Oregon. We work with professional services and mid-market operations teams that want real leverage out of AI and automation rather than another experiment that stalls after launch.
Engagements usually start the same way. A team has messy manual processes, too many disconnected tools, and a stack of "we should automate that" items nobody has time to own. We map the current state, redesign the workflows around Process Street as the operational backbone, and integrate whatever else the team relies on (Zapier, Power Automate, PandaDoc, Pipedrive, HubSpot, Notion, Miro, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, custom APIs). Then we stay engaged through rollout so people actually adopt the new system instead of falling back to old habits.
We Cover the Full Path: Process discovery and mapping, workflow redesign in Process Street, integrations across the existing stack, AI copilots and agents for the repetitive and judgment-light parts of the work, change management and adoption coaching, and ongoing optimization as the business grows.
Track Record: Client onboarding (70+ step sequences rebuilt into a single master workflow), approval and review processes, commission and schedule tracking, artwork and creative review, and operational reporting. Recent results include a financial planning firm that 3x'd onboarding capacity and cut contract prep by 85%, a Medicaid-workflow SaaS that tripled onboarding capacity and paid back the engagement in month one, and a manufacturing client recovering 10 hours per month permanently on their monthly close.
Why Firms Pick Us: A small, senior team that has done this work for enough clients to know where it breaks. We build the system we sell, which is why our own operations run on the same stack we recommend. That means we show up with a working reference implementation, not a slide deck.
