Automation Workflows

Give the repetitive work
to software instead of staff

We connect the tools you already use and automate the handoffs between them. Forms, invoices, onboarding, reporting, reminders, data entry, and everything else your team copies from one screen into another all day. Set up once, running quietly forever.

Why It Matters

Your team is expensive. Copy and paste is not what you hired them for.

Count the small tasks that happen every day. A form comes in, someone retypes it into the CRM. An invoice arrives, someone files it and updates a sheet. A client signs, someone sends the same four emails and creates the same folders. Each takes minutes and together they eat entire salaries.

Automation removes the handoffs rather than the people. The form fills the CRM, the invoice files itself, the onboarding sequence fires the moment the contract is signed, and your team spends its day on the work that actually needs a human brain attached.

We are not tied to one platform. Sometimes the right answer is n8n or Make wired up in an afternoon. Sometimes it is a small custom service because the tools cannot do what you need reliably. We pick based on what will still be running in a year, not what is quickest to demo.

How we keep it honest

  • Mapped against your real process, including the exceptions people forget to mention
  • Built on your existing tools, no rip and replace of software that works
  • Error handling, retries, and alerts so a silent failure never costs you a client
  • Documented and handed over so your team can adjust it without calling us

Capabilities

What we automate

If it happens more than a few times a week and follows rules, it is a candidate.

Tool to tool integrations

Your CRM, inbox, forms, spreadsheets, accounting, calendar, storage, and chat connected so data moves once, automatically, without anyone retyping it.

Lead and client onboarding

New enquiries captured, enriched, scored, routed, and answered, then contracts, folders, invoices, and welcome sequences created the moment a deal closes.

Document processing

Invoices, receipts, purchase orders, and forms read automatically, checked against your rules, filed correctly, and pushed into your accounting system.

Reporting and alerts

Numbers pulled from every system on a schedule, assembled into the report your team used to build by hand, and delivered to Slack, email, or WhatsApp with the anomalies flagged.

Custom automation services

When off the shelf tools hit their limit, we write a small, reliable service instead, with proper logging and retries, so the workflow does not break under real volume.

Monitoring and maintenance

Every workflow reports its own health. If a third party API changes or a run fails, you hear about it from an alert rather than from an angry customer.

How We Work

From first conversation to production

No six month discovery phase. We move in short cycles and you see working software early.

01

Process audit

We shadow the work for a short window and write down what really happens, including the undocumented steps and the exceptions everyone handles from memory.

02

Prioritise by hours saved

Each candidate workflow gets an estimate of hours saved against effort to build. We start at the top of that list so the project pays for itself early.

03

Build and connect

We build the workflows, wire up the accounts and permissions properly, and handle the edge cases rather than pretending the happy path is the only path.

04

Run in parallel

For the first week the automation runs alongside the manual process so you can compare outputs and trust it before you switch the old way off.

05

Hand over and monitor

Documentation, a walkthrough with your team, alerting on failures, and a monthly check that everything is still healthy as your tools update around it.

Use Cases

Automations that pay for themselves fastest

Patterns we have shipped before, so we already know where the traps are.

Sales pipeline hygiene

Enquiries logged, deduplicated, assigned, and followed up automatically, so nothing sits in an inbox and your CRM stops being a graveyard of half filled records.

Finance and invoicing

Invoices raised, chased, matched to payments, and reconciled, with a clear exception list for the handful of cases a person genuinely needs to look at.

Employee onboarding

Accounts, permissions, equipment requests, paperwork, and training schedules triggered from one form instead of a checklist somebody keeps forgetting.

Order and delivery updates

Customers kept informed automatically at every step, which quietly removes the most common reason people call your support line at all.

Content and social publishing

One approved piece distributed across channels on schedule, with the tracking, tagging, and reporting handled without anybody logging into five platforms.

Data sync between systems

Two systems that should agree and never do, kept in step continuously, with conflicts surfaced rather than silently overwritten.

What You Get

Everything handed over, nothing held hostage

You finish the engagement owning the system, the code, and the knowledge to run it without us. That is the point.

  • Live workflows running on your own accounts and credentials
  • A written map of every process before and after automation
  • Error handling, retries, and failure alerts on each workflow
  • A simple dashboard showing runs, successes, and time saved
  • Training so your team can edit and extend the workflows themselves
  • Thirty days of monitoring and adjustment after go live

FAQ

Automation Workflows, answered straight

The questions every serious buyer asks us before the first invoice.

Which automation platform do you use?

Whichever survives contact with your process. We build most work in n8n, use Make or Zapier when they fit, and write custom code when the tools cannot do the job reliably. You are not pushed onto a platform because it suits us.

Do we need to change the software we already use?

Almost never. The point is to connect what you have. We only recommend replacing a tool when it genuinely has no way to integrate and it is blocking the whole workflow.

What happens when something breaks?

Every workflow has retries and failure alerts, so you find out immediately and nothing disappears silently. Failed runs queue for review rather than vanishing, and we can hold a support retainer for fast fixes.

How quickly do we see the benefit?

A first set of workflows usually goes live in two to three weeks, and the hours saved show up immediately. We measure it, so you can see the return rather than take our word for it.

Is our data safe in these workflows?

Automations run on your own accounts with scoped permissions, sensitive fields stay out of logs, and self hosted n8n is available when data must not touch a third party service.

Can automation include AI steps?

Yes, and often it should. Classifying messages, extracting fields from documents, or drafting replies are natural AI steps inside an otherwise rule based workflow. We use it where it beats a rule and skip it where it does not.

Most projects touch more than one of these. We can take the whole thing or slot into the part you need.
