Stop Burning Payroll on
Manual Data Entry.

Custom Workflow Engineering for Hawaii's Industrial & Logistics Operators.

01. The Problem

The Silent Tax on Your Operations

Your business runs on critical, specialized software that keeps operations moving. But as you scale, these fragmented systems often fail to communicate with each other naturally.

The Result

Your staff spends hours manually re-keying shipping manifests, invoices, and compliance logs from PDFs into accounting software or databases.

The Cost

Wasted payroll, human error, and skilled employees stuck doing manual workflows instead of focusing on growth and problem-solving.

02. The "Silicon Valley" Trap

Migrations Risky. APIs Costly.

The Typical Approach

Most software consultants will tell you to rip out your entire legacy system and migrate to a million-dollar cloud platform. That disrupts your business and takes years.

Capital Efficiency

We don't do that. Keep the systems that work for you; we engineer logic to automatically bridge the gaps and automate the space between them.

03. How We Fix It

Lightweight RPA & Visual OCR

Oahu Automations builds custom Robotic Process Automation (RPA) scripts. We engineer "digital workflows" that interact with your computer exactly like a human does.

  • Visual OCR

    We use Machine Vision to "read" your screen. Backend access is not required.

  • The Rule

    If your staff has to click it, type it, or copy-paste it, we can automate it.

  • The Integration

    Works completely outside your core software. No complex APIs or vendor permissions needed.

04. Common Targets

Where We Reclaim Your Time

Logistics & Freight

Automated parsing of complex shipping manifests and BOLs directly into your ERP.

Accounting

Scraping PDF invoices and automatically generating QuickBooks entries.

Compliance

Auto-compiling maritime and safety logs without manual data entry.

Inventory

Syncing legacy warehouse software to modern front-end dashboards.

05. The Operator

Built for the Real World.

Operational Workflow Schematics

Matthew Carnes, Founder

Former NOAA marine biologist and fisheries observer (Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska). I know what operational reality looks like.

The Track Record

Founded ‘IKE Solutions (2019 Purple Prize Winner) building offline, GPU-capable Machine Vision edge servers for commercial fleets.

Enterprise Experience

Currently Vessel Manager at the Honolulu Fish Auction (UFA). I spearheaded the Live Swordfish Auction app and engineered their massive legacy-to-modern ERP ecosystem.

The Promise: I don't build software looking for a problem. I find your operational bottleneck and engineer the exact logic to eliminate it.

06. The Ask

Let's Find the Bottlenecks.

If your team is buried in repetitive data entry, let’s talk story.

The Automation Audit

A free, 20-minute sit-down. You show me your most frustrating, manual, time-consuming computer process. I'll tell you exactly how we can automate it.
