Automation
Work that repeats stops needing a person. Retyped orders, Monday morning reports, chasing and reminders: the jobs your team does by hand, done on their own.
What it is
Automation for the jobs that happen the same way every time. We find the step somebody repeats, build the thing that does it, and put it live inside the tools you already use.
What we usually build
- Retyped orders
- Monday morning reports
- Chasing and reminders
What changes
- Before: Orders retyped from email into the stock sheet.After: orders land in the system on their own.
- Before: A Monday report someone builds by hand.After: the report is waiting at 8am.
- Before: Chasing unpaid invoices one by one.After: reminders go out on schedule.
Before you call
- Who it's for
- Teams where somebody does the same job by hand every day or every week: orders retyped from email, a report rebuilt every Monday, invoices chased one at a time. Usually the owner, or the person running operations who knows exactly which job it is.
- What you're left holding
- The automation, running in your own accounts, with its source code, the deployment, and plain-English instructions for changing a step that somebody who did not build it can follow. If you never speak to us again, it carries on working.
Every job is scoped first, then given a fixed quote and dates in writing.
A real example
The Creative Clan
- Before
- Client approvals scattered across email threads and versions.
- We built
- A client review and sign-off portal. Their client opens a board, sees what is waiting on a decision, signs it off, and the work moves to invoicing. Live.
Questions people ask
Will it work inside the tools we already use?
That is the point. We find the step somebody repeats, build the thing that does it, and put it live inside the tools you already use, so nobody has to learn a new place to work.
How does a job start?
With a thirty minute call about what is slow. If there is work in it, we write a scope: what we will build, what it does, and a do-not-build list so the edges are agreed before anyone starts.
Then a fixed quote, in writing. Nothing begins until you have read both.
How long does it take?
We do not sell hours and we will not guess on a call. Each job is scoped, then given dates in writing, with what we are working to and what would move it.
If something slips you hear about it when it slips, rather than at the end.
What happens at handover?
You get the source, the accounts it runs on, the deployment, and written instructions somebody who did not build it can follow.
If you never speak to us again it carries on working, and that is the test we build to.
