Last year, we tallied up how much time our team spent customizing Method businesses. The number added up to 24,572 hours.
That’s steel fabricators automating job costing. Manufacturers syncing WooCommerce, QuickBooks and Method in real time. Site services companies building custom dispatch workflows that connect field teams to back-office ops without double entry. These businesses said “no” to rigid, one-size-fits-all CRMs that force them into someone else’s workflow, and saying “yes” to a system that adapts to how they actually work.
We consistently saw the most successful small businesses refusing to replace their proven processes to fit a piece of software. They built automations around their real workflows, saving them hours, sometimes days, every week.
The year customization took center stage
In December, we launched the first-ever Method Customization Awards to celebrate the teams and partners who pushed what’s possible. We received 34 nominations from businesses across industries—each one a story of saying “yes” to custom workflows, automated processes, and systems that finally fit.
The scores were close. Really close. But three stood out:
🥇 First Place: RE:SOURCE Site Services
Built by partner Marwan Dajani (Alef Team Business Solutions), this was a complete end-to-end system for managing field jobs—crew dispatch, equipment tracking, site photos, inventory management, and real-time job costing, all synced back to QuickBooks. The kind of system that becomes mission-critical to how a business operates.
🥈 Second Place: MDBiologix
Customized Method to manage laboratory sample workflows—tracking specimens, automating compliance reporting, and connecting their fulfillment process to QuickBooks in a way no off-the-shelf CRM could handle.
🥉 Third Place: FTBA
A construction company that rebuilt their entire estimate-to-invoice process in Method, handling multiple service types, job-specific pricing, and automated proposal generation.
64 new customization partners joined in 2025
We also welcomed 64 new implementation partners last year—developers and solution experts who joined the Method community to help businesses like yours implement and scale custom workflows. These are the people who build the systems, train your team, and make sure Method fits your exact needs.

What all of this points to: businesses are tired of settling for software that says “no.” They’re building systems that adapt to their workflows, eliminate manual work, and give them hours back every week.
If you’ve been living with a CRM that doesn’t fit, or if you’re still running your business out of spreadsheets and QuickBooks alone, there’s never been a better time to see what’s possible.
