Why Izba Eats Its Own Dog Food (and Why That Matters)
Automation Isn’t Magic—it’s Maintenance
Every week, our analysts spot tasks they repeat 50 times.
We don’t outsource the problem—we solve it.
Before we offer any new automation to clients, we test it on ourselves.
If it doesn’t make our work faster, cleaner, and calmer—it doesn’t ship.
Dogfooding Builds Better Systems
We learned this the hard way.
Early on, we built “cool tools” that sounded impressive but didn’t move the needle.
Now we only build what creates measurable time or cost savings.
“We eat our own dog food first. If it doesn’t make Izba better, it’s not ready for our clients.”
The Outcome
- Processes that survive real pressure
- Automations designed by operators, not theorists
- Solutions that serve the work, not the hype
Why It Matters for Clients
When we bring a new workflow to your business, it’s already been battle-tested inside ours.
That’s the quiet confidence behind every Izba engagement:
We fix the right things, in the right order, at the right pace.
