Stop Stitching It Together: How Tall Emu Fixes the Frankenstein Tech Stack

by Rachel Pirie

Frankenstein tech stack

We know that most businesses don’t plan to end up with a mess of systems.
It just happens over time.

You start with accounting software. Then you add an online store. Someone brings in a quoting tool, and before long you’ve got spreadsheets, plug-ins, and apps that all claim to make life easier – but don’t actually talk to each other.

That’s what we call a Frankenstein tech stack: a mix of disconnected systems stitched together to try and do the job of one. It might keep things moving for a while, but it’s clunky, unreliable, and hard to scale.

How it happens

When your systems don’t connect, your team becomes the glue that holds everything together.
Someone’s re-typing quotes into invoices. Another person’s checking stock in three different places. You’ve got emails, spreadsheets, and shared drives full of customer data – and no one’s quite sure which version is right.

It’s frustrating, time-consuming, and error-prone.

One system. Everything connected.

Tall Emu CRM was built to fix this problem. It brings your sales, inventory, quoting, production, and customer information into one connected system – so you can stop switching between apps just to get a clear picture of what’s going on.

Your team works from a single source of truth.
Your orders flow from quote to invoice automatically.
Stock stays accurate.
And the business finally feels joined-up.

Automation that does the busy work

Once everything’s connected, automation can take care of the repetitive admin. Set your own specific automated workflows to cut the double handling.
Tall Emu can send follow-ups, create tasks, and even log and summarise your calls automatically – so nothing slips through the cracks and every detail is captured.

It’s not about replacing people; it’s about helping your team spend time on the work that matters.

Integrations that just work

Tall Emu integrates directly with the platforms you already rely on:

  • CRM for MYOB and CRM for Xero for seamless accounting sync

  • Shopify and WooCommerce for online orders and inventory

  • Mailchimp and Campaign Monitor for marketing campaigns

  • MaxoTel and Access4 for call management and AI-powered call summaries

These integrations are easy to set up and included in your subscription – no extra costs, no hidden fees, and no need to hire a developer to get started.

Within minutes, your data starts flowing automatically between systems – keeping everything aligned and up to date.

Built for real businesses

Tall Emu is 100% Australian-owned and supported, built for manufacturing, wholesale, and product-based businesses that need more than a basic CRM.

It’s an end-to-end CRM designed to replace scattered spreadsheets and manual processes with a system that actually connects sales, inventory, operations, and people.

Time to simplify

If your business is running on a patchwork of disconnected tools and manual processes, there’s a better way.
