Pablo Gerboles launched PABS Tech Solutions to usher entrepreneurs and businesses of all sizes into the age of automation. His lean growth consulting consistently uncovers smart solutions, strategic partnerships, and transformative insights that enable new companies to scale.
To break down his key tactic, this fractional growth strategist for startups harnesses automation as a catalyst for growth.
Lean growth consulting that breaks down inefficiencies
Most new businesses spend hours every week on repetitive, manual tasks that add little to no value to the big picture. These companies fail to grow primarily because they remain unwittingly tethered to outdated processes.
Gerboles and the team at PABS Tech Solutions take a deep dive into a company’s internal operations to identify inefficiencies. The first step in their approach is conducting a granular analysis of workflows to pinpoint bottlenecks.
Where is time being wasted? What tasks are consuming resources without delivering meaningful returns? For Gerboles, these questions are the foundation of any transformative solution.
“Most of the time, the root cause behind a lack of growth is simple to spot,” says Gerboles. “Businesses rely too heavily on human input for tasks that machines can easily handle. Any repetitive process, such as data entry, customer onboarding, or order tracking, is a prime target for automation. We use AI-powered tools or custom-built software to help startups streamline these tasks.”
Gerboles’ philosophy revolves around creating systems that not only move faster but also move intelligently. In his mind, automation isn’t just about replacing human effort with algorithms; it’s about reshaping workflows to be smarter, leaner, and inherently more efficient.
Automation’s impact on costs and scalability
Gerboles argues that one of the most compelling arguments for automation is its potential impact on operational costs. “What happens when you can reduce the need for human effort in low-value, repetitive tasks?” he asks. “The answer is immediate and tangible cost savings.”
Thanks to cost savings, automation eliminates much of the friction that happens when scaling operations. For businesses besieged by growth pains, this shift can be transformative.
“Traditional scaling requires proportional increases to your workforce,” Gerboles explains. “You must take on the cost of hiring, onboarding, and training more employees as demand for your product or service rises. But with automation, that scaling becomes seamless.”
The systems designed by Pablo and his team enable companies to grow without growing their payroll or the complexities that come with it. His approach is simple yet effective; by future-proofing operations through automation, businesses become scalable by design, ensuring they are ready to handle increasing demand without costly or disruptive growing pains.
A real-world case of automation in action
For entrepreneurs who believe that automation is only relevant to tech giants or financial institutions, Gerboles has a heartwarming example that proves just how wrong this notion is.
The story begins close to home, in his mother’s bakery. “Every night, my mom manually compiled client orders to create a production sheet for the next day,” Gerboles recalls. “As any entrepreneur knows, repetitive, late-night tasks like this become exhausting and error-prone.”
Gerboles saw an opportunity to help. By developing custom software for the bakery, he automated the entire process from reading incoming orders to processing the data and generating a ready-to-go production sheet with just a click. What was once a laborious 30-minute nightly task is now completed in seconds, and the impact was immediate.
“First, my mom is no longer stuck in the office late at night,” Gerboles remarks. “Errors in her production sheets are virtually non-existent. Best of all, with the bakery becoming more reliable and efficient, she focused more time on family and growing the business.”
Today, Gerboles is on a mission to help thousands of other small business owners improve their quality of life while enhancing their business outcomes. He’s out to prove that automation isn’t just for large corporations. When properly implemented, it can transform even small businesses by targeting the tasks that matter most.

How small businesses can start automating
Automation can often feel intimidating, especially for small businesses. But Gerboles offers simple, actionable advice to help them get started.
“Don’t look at everything at once,” he advises. “Start by breaking down your daily operations to pinpoint the tasks that consume the most time and effort. These are your low-hanging fruits for automation.”
As businesses proceed, Gerboles suggests prioritizing the automation of these tasks based on their ROI. “Assess how much time or money you stand to save by automating each task. Then, start with solutions that provide the largest immediate returns.”
Gerboles also warns businesses to start small. “Automation doesn’t have to be a massive overhaul. Small tools like the software I developed for my mom’s bakery have a huge impact. Look for specific processes where automation can save minutes every day, as this quickly adds up to hours each week.”
Gerboles says there has never been a better time for entrepreneurs of all sizes to grow their businesses, cut costs, improve workflows, and achieve a better work-life balance. “By automating processes, you unlock a stream of compounding benefits. With every task you automate, get ready to see time savings, error reduction, and improved employee morale.”
