What we do

Business automation services that start with the process, not the tool.

Most companies run on 8-15 apps held together by manual work — copying data, chasing approvals, rebuilding the same report every week. We find that hidden layer, redesign it, and automate the parts that pay back fastest. The result is recovered hours and numbers you can see.

Map first

Process mapping & audit

We document your busiest processes, time each step, and rank them by hours lost and error rate — so the investment lands where the return is.

Connected

System integration

We make your CRM, finance and operations tools talk to each other, so data stops being re-keyed between systems by hand.

ROI, not output

Measured in £ and hours

We quote outcomes, not "automations shipped". Most projects pay back inside 3-9 months — and we tell you honestly when something isn't worth it.

Who we work with

UK companies losing hours to manual work.

From growing small businesses to established mid-market firms — anywhere a team is drowning in copy-paste, chasing and re-keying across too many disconnected tools.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is business automation?+

Business automation is using software to handle the repetitive, manual work that runs a company — data entry between systems, approvals, reporting, customer comms — so your team spends less time on admin and more on the work that matters. Done well, it removes hours of effort and cuts errors.

How much does business automation cost in the UK?+

We work in fixed-fee phases: a £3K-£6K audit that maps and ranks the opportunity, a £15K-£50K build depending on scope, and an optional £1-3K/month retainer. The first audit conversation is free, and most projects pay back within 3-9 months.

Do you work with small businesses?+

Yes — we work across the UK mid-market, including smaller companies where manual work is already a real cost. The free audit tells us whether automation is worth it at your stage; if it's too early, we'll say so.

Are you tied to particular software?+

No. We're independent and tool-agnostic — we resell nothing and take no platform commissions, so we build in whatever fits you: Zapier, Make, n8n, Power Automate, HubSpot, Salesforce, Xero or custom.
