Core 3 Consulting · AI & Technology Advisory

Reclaim your time. Unlock your growth.

We help small and mid-size businesses put AI to work in two ways: eliminating the repetitive administrative work that holds teams back, and automating lead generation and business development to capture revenue you're leaving on the table.

Schedule a Consultation See How It Works

The Problem

Your best people are buried in work that doesn't grow your business.

Every hour spent on manual data entry, repetitive reporting, and administrative busywork is an hour not spent on strategy, customers, and growth. And while your team is heads-down on busywork, leads go cold, follow-ups slip, and revenue walks out the door.

Repetitive tasks pile up

Manual processes that made sense at one size quietly become bottlenecks as you grow: copying data between systems, chasing approvals, rebuilding the same report every week.

Opportunities slip away

Prospects don't get followed up. Quotes sit unanswered. Past customers never hear from you again. Growth shouldn't depend on whoever has a spare hour to chase leads.

AI feels overwhelming

Thousands of AI tools, endless vendor hype, and real questions about licensing, data security, and fit. Choosing wrong is expensive, so many businesses choose nothing and fall behind.

What We Do

AI that saves time on one side and drives revenue on the other.

We're not here to sell you software. We're here to understand how your business runs, find where time is leaking and where revenue is hiding, and put the right AI and automation solutions in place from start to finish.

Process & Workflow Assessment

We map how work actually flows through your business and pinpoint the repetitive, administrative tasks where AI and automation can give your team the most time back.

AI Tool Selection

From AI assistants to intelligent automation platforms, we cut through the hype and recommend solutions that fit your budget, your team, and your security and licensing requirements.

Implementation & Integration

Recommendations are only half the job. We implement your AI solutions, connect them to the systems you already use, and make sure everything works in the real world.

Team Enablement & Training

AI only delivers value when people embrace it. We train your team to work confidently alongside AI, build adoption, and stay involved until the new way of working sticks.

Our Approach

Three pillars. One core.

Every engagement is built on the same three foundations, the three bars in our mark.

01

People

AI serves your team, never the other way around. We start with the humans doing the work and design around how they actually operate.

02

Process

Automating a broken process only magnifies the problem. We refine how work flows before we add a single tool.

03

Technology

The right AI, at the right size, at the right cost. Selected for fit, security, and longevity, not hype.

In our mark, the middle bar reaches across: the people at the core, connecting everything else.

About Us

Big-company expertise, built for businesses like yours.

KH Kendra Hollinger
Kendra Hollinger
Founder & Principal Consultant

Kendra Hollinger has spent more than 30 years doing exactly one thing: helping businesses get real, measurable results from technology. Her career has centered on the question at the heart of Core 3's mission: where is your team's time going, and what would happen if you got it back?

She's seen firsthand how the right AI and automation transforms a business. Leading AI implementation programs for one of the world's top Salesforce AI partners, she watched intelligent automation eliminate hours of daily busywork, accelerate sales cycles, and keep pipelines moving without adding headcount. She's also built the other side of the equation, designing customer lifecycle and business development programs that systematically turned follow-ups, renewals, and re-engagement into measurable new revenue.

Just as important: Kendra isn't an advisor who merely read about AI. She's a daily, hands-on practitioner who uses tools like Claude in her own work to build frameworks, automate delivery, and surface market insights. When she recommends a tool, it's because she knows what it can actually do.

She founded Core 3 Consulting to bring that experience home to the small and mid-size businesses of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland that can benefit most from working smarter, but don't have a technology team to figure it out. You don't need a big-company budget. You need someone who knows what works, what doesn't, and what's right-sized for you.
