Hosts: Justin Shelley - Mario Zaki - Bryan Lachapelle - Joshua Holloway - Mario Zaki's sales rep used to spend three to four hours building a single proposal. After vibe coding a custom platform, it takes ten minutes. That's a 24x productivity gain for roughly $500 in development costs. This episode kicks off UnHacked's vibe coding series, and Mario walks through exactly what he built, what it replaced, and what it saved. Two automations take center stage. First, an onboarding and offboarding portal that connects directly to Microsoft 365, pulls live license data, provisions users, assigns SharePoint permissions, configures shared mailbox access, and auto-adjusts monthly invoices. What used to take 45 minutes of technician time, plus days of email back-and-forth, now takes three to five minutes with built-in safeguards against the mistakes that eat even more time. Second, a proposals platform that lets his sales rep select predefined line items, auto-calculate pricing across three service tiers, attach the SOW and MSA, and export a polished document for e-signature. No more broken templates, no more math errors, no more 9 PM phone calls to fix formatting.
