Business automation
We take the repetitive work off your team by connecting the tools you already use, so the tasks that eat the week run themselves.
The difference
Anyone can wire two apps together. The hard part is that it still works correctly in six months, so we build in error handling and monitoring, and we stay the ones responsible for it.
Repetition lifts off the week, judgment stays
Before you hand anything over
How we handle your data
-
Your systems stay yours.
The work happens in your own accounts, on your own subscriptions, under your ownership. Nothing leaves the systems you have given us access to.
-
Access is requested, never assumed.
Read only wherever the work allows it, asked for per system rather than granted in bulk, and named per person. Credentials are never shared, and your records never sit on personal devices.
-
Preparing stays separate from approving.
A second person reviews before anything is filed or closed. On payables we prepare the run and you're the one who releases it.
Who it’s for
Teams doing the same copy and paste work every week across tools that don't talk to each other. Also the owner who keeps being told to automate and has no idea which part to start with.
How we help
- 01 We map where the week actually goes, task by task, before we build anything.
- 02 We pick what to automate by payback, not by what is technically interesting. Some work is cheaper left alone.
- 03 We build around the tools you already run, so your system of record stays where it is.
- 04 Every automation ships with error handling, retries, and an alert when something fails, plus a written record of what it does.
- 05 We keep watching it after it goes live, and one person here owns it.
What you get
- The repetitive work gone from the week.
- Fewer errors from typing the same data twice.
- Tools that finally pass data between themselves.
- Documentation of what runs, when, and why.
- A named person who fixes it when it breaks.
What owners ask about business automation
Where do I start if we have never automated anything?
With a week of your own calendar, not with software. We sit with the team, list the tasks that repeat, and put a rough time cost against each one. The first build is usually the smallest task with the highest weekly count, because it pays back fast and proves the approach before anything bigger is on the line. If the trouble turns out to run deeper than a few tasks, that's an operations review rather than an automation job, and we'll say so.
Should I automate this or hire someone to do it?
Automate the work that's the same every time, and hire for the work that needs judgment. If a task has clear rules, a predictable input, and happens often, software is the better answer and it doesn't resign. If it needs someone to weigh context and decide, a person is worth the money. Most back offices need both, which is why dedicated staff and automation sit under one roof here.
Do we have to switch software?
Usually not. We automate around the tools you already use, and we only raise a change when the cost of working around a tool is clearly higher than the cost of moving off it. Your accounting platform in particular stays your source of truth, whether or not we're also keeping the books in it.
What happens when an automation breaks?
You hear about it from us, not from a customer. Every automation we build reports its own failures, so a broken step raises an alert here rather than sitting quiet until someone notices the data is wrong. Fixing it's part of the arrangement, not a new quote.
Who owns the automations if we stop working together?
You do. They're built in your accounts, on your subscriptions, and we hand over the documentation for each one. There's no layer of ours in the middle that you would lose access to.
Which automation tool do you build on?
It depends on where your work already lives. If you're in Microsoft 365, building there keeps everything under one sign in and one set of access rules. If your tools are spread wider than that, a connector platform is usually faster and cheaper. We tell you which, and what the licensing actually costs, before anything gets built.
