blockmade: Build small-team workflows with Boxes, Plates, and Blocks

We started blockmade from a problem we kept seeing:

the more SaaS tools a business adds, the more work people end up doing between those tools.

Copying data. Checking whether systems match. Moving information between workflows.

blockmade is our attempt at a different model:

take only the functions a business actually needs from different workflows, and combine them into one system that can keep adapting as the business changes.

The Workforce setup available today is a working demo of that idea — not a claim that blockmade already replaces a full HR or payroll suite.

You can change one Attendance entry and see it flow into Timesheets and a payroll estimate.

What would be most useful for us from this launch is understanding the real switching barriers:

- Which SaaS tools are you currently connecting manually?
- Have you ever considered replacing one of them but stopped? What stopped you?
- What feature, integration, or existing data would you absolutely refuse to lose?

Those answers will directly influence the templates and functions we build next.

One more thing: I’m looking for 10 design partners who already use multiple tools in one workflow.

If you’re manually moving information between SaaS tools, tell me which tools, what you move between them, and one feature or integration you couldn’t lose.

I’ll use sample data to build a few starter workflows in blockmade and ask you to edit one thing yourself.

No private customer data needed.
