Operational Challenges

Rising expenses across operations while talent remains scarce

Most teams keep work moving through emails, notes, quick chats, or mental lists.

Studies show

40%

of your team's week disappears into repetitive tasks.

Our Solution: Repeatable Systems Built for Hawaii

Kealani Solutions is an operations consultancy that partners with teams in Hawaii to create repeatable systems that hold up to team changes, business growth, and the daily pressure of keeping things moving.

Find What's Overwhelming Your Team

We spot the tasks that steal your team's time and find ways where automations could eliminate daily frustrations.

Build Your Solution

We analyze your needs and identify the optimal solution—whether automation, AI, or something else

Build Confidence, Not Dependency

We partner with your team to build solutions they'll own, operate, and feel confident using.

Our Promise: True Partnership

We're not here to "fix" anything. We're here to partner with you to make your ideas come to life without friction. Kuleana and ʻohana guide our work.

How We Work

Our process is rooted in people first methodology—and designed to leave you stronger.

1

UNDERSTAND FIRST

We build the relationship before we build anything else. We find the real problem—not the symptoms—and align on what success looks like.

We simplify before we automate. Cut complexity. Make space for what matters.

3

WORK ALONGSIDE

We roll up our sleeves and become part of your team. We build with you, not for you.

Real Solutions for Real Challenges

Every industry has its own operational pain points. We've worked with teams across Hawaii to understand exactly where things break down—and how to fix them.

Accounting Firms

Client Onboarding Automation

The Reality:

Onboarding a new client triggers a chaotic scramble of questionnaires, follow-up emails, and manual system setups. Your team is pulled away from billable work, and your new client's first impression is one of delay and disorganization.

Our Approach:

We build an intelligent, automated onboarding system that acts as a dedicated digital assistant. The system guides new clients through a seamless process, proactively requests necessary documents, and uses AI to verify that information is complete, integrating it all directly into your existing tools.

  • Automate client data and document collection
  • Deliver a stellar first impression to new clients
  • Integrate seamlessly with your existing tools

Real Estate

Transaction Management System

The Reality:

You're the central hub for every deal, tracking loans, inspections, and deadlines. This is manageable for one or two deals, but at five or more, critical details start slipping through the cracks, jeopardizing closings and your reputation here in Hawaii.

Our Approach:

We implement a smart transaction management system that automates the entire workflow. Our systems, built by locals who understand the island pace, automatically trigger reminders, update timelines, and give you a clear, at-a-glance view of every deal's status, flagging potential delays before they become problems.

  • Built by locals who understand island pace
  • Automate deadline tracking and client updates
  • Confidently manage a higher volume of deals
  • Works with your existing network of vendors

Law Firms

Document Analysis and Discovery

The Reality:

The discovery phase buries your skilled legal team in a mountain of documents. Associates and paralegals spend hundreds of billable hours on the clerical task of reading contracts and emails just to identify relevant facts, wasting time and inflating client costs.

Our Approach:

We deploy AI-powered document analysis tools that can read and understand thousands of pages in minutes. The AI intelligently identifies relevant passages, extracts key entities like names and dates, and helps build an initial case timeline—transforming raw data into strategic intelligence.

  • Drastically reduce document review time and costs
  • Built around your firm's compliance and security needs
  • Integrate AI insights into your case management tools

Professional Services

Intelligent RFP Response & Project Matching

The Reality:

RFP responses demand past project examples, team credentials, technical approaches, and schedules—usually under tight deadlines. Teams spend hours searching old proposals, files, and resumes, turning each quality response into days of work better spent serving clients.

Our Approach:

We create a smart proposal platform that analyzes RFPs to extract key requirements and evaluation criteria. The system automatically matches requirements to your past experience, surfaces relevant projects and descriptions, generates proposal outlines, and suggests win themes—learning from each submission to improve recommendations over time.

  • Significantly reduce proposal preparation time and costs
  • Deliver higher quality proposals with better project matches
  • Increase win rates through data-driven optimization
  • Pursue more opportunities with the same team capacity

AEC Firms

Automated Report & Spec Generation

The Reality:

Technical reports require project-specific customization. Planners write plans and zoning codes; engineers create calculations and system narratives. Each project pulls data from surveys, codes, equipment specs, and past work. Teams spend days compiling and formatting—time better spent growing the business.

Our Approach:

We build an AI-powered documentation engine that learns from your past projects to auto-generate first drafts. The system extracts data from project files, matches requirements to code templates, pulls language from past projects, and generates formatted documents—integrating directly into your existing workflows.

  • Reduce time spent on report generation
  • Maintain consistent quality and formatting across all deliverables
  • Free up more time for actual design work and client interaction
  • Eliminate errors from copy-paste mistakes or outdated boilerplate
