Which business processes can be automated?

The repetitive, rule-following ones: invoice processing, document handling, quote generation, data entry between systems, report building, approval chasing and customer onboarding. The best first candidate is one clear process your team repeats every week — we'll help you pick it.

How much does business process automation cost?

A quick-win automation of a single task starts from £1,500. A fully scoped automation, wired into your existing tools, starts from £5,000; a programme covering several processes starts from £10,000, or runs as a rolling sprint from £4,000 a month. Prices are fixed and agreed before anything starts.

Do you use Zapier, Make or custom code?

Whichever pays back faster. Platforms like Zapier or Make suit straightforward connections; custom code wins when the process is complex, high-volume or needs AI in the loop. We're not tied to any vendor, so the recommendation is about your process, not our toolkit.

What savings does process automation actually deliver?

It varies by project, but the goal is always a clear, practical payback — hours saved each week, faster quotes, fewer errors, or work that no longer needs an extra person to manage. Because we start by automating a costly, repetitive process, the savings are usually easy to see.

Which processes are the right first candidates to automate?

If your team is spending hours on repetitive admin — re-keying data, chasing approvals, copying information between spreadsheets and emails — you're ready. You don't need existing systems, technical knowledge, or a “digital strategy” in place. The best starting point is one clear, repetitive process that's costing you time.

Every step, with a team who's done it before

Automation only earns its place if it pays back more than it costs to build. That's the real fear — a clever project that saves less admin than it eats. So we start by picking one costly, repetitive process and estimating the hours it hands back before you commit.

Find the process

We look at where your team re-keys data, chases approvals and copies between spreadsheets and email, then pick the one clear process worth automating first. Free — and we'll say if none of them is worth it yet.
Scope & price

You see the workflow mapped, the estimated saving in hours, and whether an off-the-shelf zap or custom code pays back faster. One fixed price — quick wins from £1,500, scoped builds from £5,000 — agreed before we build a thing.
Build in stages

We build the workflow, wire it into your existing tools so data is entered once, and put sign-off where a person still needs to approve. Then we show your team how to run it themselves.
Add the next one

Once the first pays back, we automate the next — invoices, reporting, onboarding — as a programme from £10,000 or a rolling sprint from £4,000 a month. All code and IP yours on payment.

Workflows that now run themselves

An energy supplier's full sales cycle automated — lead capture to signed contract, 5x lead capacity in 3 months. Contract-to-invoice flows wired through Pipedrive and Xero for an events business. AI that reads booking documents so nobody re-types them.

The tech

Custom code or platforms, whichever pays back faster — the automation tools we work with, and the stack our shipped automations actually run on.

Zapier

For straightforward connections we build on Zapier — when an off-the-shelf zap does the job, a custom build is the wrong advice.
Make

Make suits multi-step automations that outgrow simple zaps — we work with it where visual flows keep the logic maintainable by your team.
n8n

We work with n8n automation where you want the workflow engine on your own infrastructure — self-hosted, and yours.
Power Automate

If you're a Microsoft shop you likely already pay for Power Automate — a consultant's first job is using what your licence includes before selling you more.
OpenAI

Judgement steps like reading a document or drafting a reply run on OpenAI models we've shipped in client automations.
Claude API

We build on the Claude API where longer documents or trickier judgement calls warrant it — model per job, not one hammer.
Python & Django

When a process is high-volume or needs checks a platform can't express, we write custom code — Python and Django, the stack behind our shipped automations.
Pipedrive & Xero

An events business's contracts now raise their own invoices because we wired Pipedrive, SmartDocs and Xero into one flow — around 500 a month untouched by hand.
And much more

This is what comes up most often, not a limit. Bring us something that isn't on this list and we'll get up to speed on it — working with something new is the job, not an obstacle.
