Fractional COO & AI · Home Services

You built the business.I help you run it.

I'm Frank — former COO of Coalmarch, a marketing and tech company that serves home services. I bring senior operations and practical AI to pest, lawn, HVAC and contracting owners — the kind of senior help that usually means a full-time hire, at a price a small business can afford. I work with you directly. Straight answers, fair pricing, and I do the work myself.

What I Do

A fractional COO who puts AI to work in your operations. Start small, or go all in.

Monthly
Fractional COO

I step in as the operator you don't have yet — hiring, systems, accountability, cash discipline, and the day-to-day work of making the business run. A monthly retainer, light-touch or hands-on, sized to what you need — without hiring a full-time executive.

Workshop or Project
AI Implementation

I put AI to work on real tasks: lead follow-up, scheduling, reporting, and back-office busywork. No hype. Tools that keep working after the project ends.

Project
Projects & Builds

A scoped piece of work — a system, a dashboard, an automation — built and handed to you. Made for how your business runs, in plain English. You own it, with no ongoing subscription.

In the Room

Put me in front of your team.

I'm at my best with a group of thirty to fifty — teaching, working through your operations, and getting everyone on the same page. If you want your team to actually use AI, a hands-on half-day does more than a written playbook.

Team Workshops
Hands-on AI and operations sessions for your team — built around how your business works, not generic slides.
Offsites & Team Days
A working day that leaves your team aligned, with specific changes they can start right away.
Industry Talks
Association meetings, trade groups, and conferences — straight talk on operations and AI for home-services owners.

Why Me

Most help is either too expensive or too generic. I'm in between.

Option One
The big firm
Real expertise, but priced for big companies — and often delivered by someone junior who's never run a business.
Option Two
The cheap option
A laptop, a ChatGPT login, and generic advice you could find free online.

I've run this kind of business from the inside, not just studied it. And I build things you keep — when the work's done, the systems and the know-how stay with you. No lock-in, no games. People helping people is how I was raised to work.

What You Get With Me
Senior operations experience, real hands-on AI, and pricing an owner can afford — out in the open. You work with me directly, with no junior team to train.

About

I'm Frank Andolina.

When you hire Ando Systems, you get me — not an account manager, not a junior consultant, not a deck handed off to a delivery team. I do the work, and I'm the person you talk to. That's by design: I'm not building an agency. The experience is the point.

I've spent fifteen years running operations and growth for agencies, marketing platforms, and home-services businesses. Most recently I was COO of Coalmarch, leading operations, client services, and digital strategy for a team serving home-services companies across North America. Before that I ran marketing at Triangle Pest Control — so I know your world from the inside.

I live in Raleigh with my wife Danielle, a registered dietitian, and our three kids. People-helping-people isn't a tagline for me — it's how I was raised to work.

Pricing

Simple, and out in the open.

I keep pricing straightforward. Start small and low-touch, or go hands-on — you'll always know the number before we start. No surprises, no games.

Not sure where to start? Most people start with a free call and a short look at the business. I'll tell you straight what would help and what it costs — and if I'm not the right fit, I'll say so. The goal is senior help that fits your budget and pays for itself.
Let's Talk

The first conversation is free.

It runs about thirty minutes. If it's a fit, most people start with a short, two-week look at your operation — you walk away with a clear set of recommendations whether or not we keep working together.
