About Bluestem
We're a boutique consulting and automation shop
I'm Taylor Schaack, the owner and principal consultant here at Bluestem. We help small and medium businesses automate their repetitive tasks so they can focus on what matters most: growing their business.
Named after the resilient prairie grass common in my home state of Kansas, Bluestem represents our approach: we build systems that are robust, adaptable, and designed to work reliably in your environment.
Our Mission
To help small and medium businesses eliminate repetitive work through simple, reliable automation. We believe every business deserves enterprise-grade automation without enterprise-grade complexity.
Our Approach
We start with proven platforms like n8n, Make, Notion, and Coda to deliver solutions faster and more cost-effectively. When these don't meet your needs, we build custom solutions using Python and JavaScript.
What Sets Us Apart
We're Business Process Experts, Not Just Developers
We understand how small and medium businesses actually work. We've seen the challenges and inefficiencies that plague growing companies, and we know how to solve them.
We Build for Reliability
Many automation solutions look impressive but fail in production. We prioritize reliability, error handling, and real-world performance over flashy features.
We're Responsive
When you have questions or need support, we respond quickly. Your business processes can't wait for technical support.
