Automation

What it is

The right answer when there's a specific operational pain point and you don't need an entire platform to solve it. We identify the bottleneck, build the tool, and hand it over. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, usually within a few weeks. No ongoing retainer required.

Who it's for

• →Directors spending time on tasks that should run themselves
• →Businesses where staff are manually moving data between systems
• →Operators who know what they need built and just need someone to build it
• →Anyone spending hours on something that should take minutes

Examples

• →Quote generators and pricing calculators
• →Job dispatch and scheduling automations
• →Invoice processing and supplier integrations
• →Reporting dashboards pulled from existing data sources
• →SMS and email notification systems
• →Integrations between accounting, job management, and CRM tools

What you get

• →A scoped brief before any work starts. No surprises.
• →Fixed delivery timeline, typically two to four weeks
• →Working tool handed over with documentation
• →Direct access to the engineers who built it

Common questions

How much does an automation project cost?

It depends on the job, but automation work is deliberately small and fixed scope, so it is a fraction of what a full software build costs. We give you a fixed price up front once we understand the problem, so there are no surprises. Book a call and we will give you a rough range on the spot.

How long does it take?

Most automation builds are done within a few weeks, typically two to four. Because the scope is fixed and the goal is narrow, we can move quickly. We agree the timeline before we start and stick to it.

Do I need an ongoing contract or retainer?

No. We scope it, build it, and hand it over. There is no retainer required and nothing you are locked into. If you want us back for the next problem, we are here, but that is your call.

What kinds of tasks can you automate?

Anything repetitive that is eating your team's time: moving data between systems, generating quotes and pricing, chasing approvals, producing reports, or syncing records people currently re-key by hand. If you are spending hours on something that should take minutes, it is probably a candidate.

Will it work with the software we already use?

Usually, yes. We build around the tools you already run rather than forcing you onto something new, and we integrate with common accounting, job management, and CRM systems. Tell us your stack on the call and we will tell you honestly whether it is a good fit.

What happens after you hand it over?

It is yours. We hand over a working tool with documentation that your team can use day to day without us in the loop. If something needs changing down the track you can bring us back for a specific piece of work, but you are not dependent on us to keep the lights on.

How is this different from hiring a software team?

A full team is the right move once you have enough ongoing work to justify it. Automation is for when you have a specific, painful bottleneck and you do not need an entire platform or a permanent hire to fix it. We solve the one problem, hand it over, and get out of your way.
