Gold Rush Vinyl automates 2,200+ hours of critical processes per year with Zapier

The problem

Gold Rush Vinyl's team handled every step of its customer service and sales processes manually, and with 10-50x the number of clients as other manufacturers they couldn't keep up; the founder had no time to focus on expanding the business beyond daily operations.
