Built around you · Business automation
Most businesses run on a pile of spreadsheets, inboxes and subscriptions that don't talk to each other. We replace the lot with one secure internal system, built around how your team actually works.
01 — The problem
None of this is a people problem. It's a systems problem, and it's fixable.
02 — What we build
Quotes, jobs, clients, stock, staff, reporting — whatever your business actually runs on, in one place, on the web and on phones. Designed around your process rather than a software company's idea of it.
Years of spreadsheets, exports from the old system, paper records, whatever you've got. We clean it, migrate it and check it against your originals before anything goes live, so day one starts with your real history in there.
The chasing, the copying, the re-typing, the reminders, the report someone rebuilds by hand every Monday morning. If a computer can do it reliably, it should, so your team can spend their time on the parts that need a person.
Your accounting system, your CRM, your email and calendars, your payment provider, your suppliers' portals. Where a connection exists we use it, so information moves itself instead of being copied across by hand.
Sessions for the whole team, not just the managers. Written documentation, recorded walkthroughs, and a system your people understand well enough to change when the business changes.

None of these is a template. Every build starts from your process, mapped with the people who do the work.
04 — Security & ownership
Security
A system the whole business runs on holds the things you'd least like to lose. It gets built accordingly, and we'd rather explain the choices in plain English than hand you a badge.
Ownership
We don't hold a copy of your data and we don't need access to keep the thing running. If you never speak to us again, everything carries on working.
You own the system, the data and the accounts. All of it.
05 — Process
It starts with an email. Tell us what your business does, where the time goes, what you've already tried and what's held together with string. Bullet points are fine.
We sit with the people doing the work and map how it really happens, not how the manual says it happens. You get a plain-English proposal and a fixed quote before anything is built.
We build in the open, with your team seeing it come together, so it matches the job rather than our guess at the job. Nothing ends up as a black box only we can open.
Your data comes across and gets checked against the originals. Where it helps, the new system runs alongside the old one until you're confident, and then you switch.
Sessions for the whole team, written documentation, recorded walkthroughs and 30 days of support. After that it's yours, and it doesn't need us to keep running.
06 — Pricing
Automation projects
Fixed quote from your brief
Every business is a different mess, so we scope and quote individually. You get a plain-English proposal covering exactly what we'll build, what gets automated, what we'll migrate and what it costs, before any work starts. The price doesn't move unless the brief does.
Want your team to extend it themselves?
£4,000 Builder Programme
Handover includes training on the system we build. If you want to go further, the Builder Programme teaches your team to build and automate for themselves: four half-day sessions over a month, working on your real processes.
Migration, documentation and training come with every build. No black boxes.
07 — FAQ
No, and we'd usually advise against it. We normally start with the part that hurts most, get it working alongside what you already have, and grow the system from there. You see value early instead of waiting months for a big-bang switchover.
Some get replaced, some stay. We won't rebuild something you're already happy with — if your accounting software works, we connect to it rather than reinventing it. The subscriptions worth replacing are usually the ones you're paying for and barely using, or the ones that only do part of the job.
It depends on how much there is to migrate and how many systems need connecting. The proposal gives you a timeline alongside the price, and we'd rather put something useful in your team's hands early and build on it than disappear for six months and reappear with a finished thing nobody asked for.
That's not what we're for, and it's not usually what happens. Automation takes the busywork off people who already have too much of it, so the team can spend their time on the valuable, human parts of the job. Most clients come to us because their people are stretched, not because they want fewer of them.
It will, which is why we hand over documentation and train your team rather than leaving you a sealed box. Small changes are usually something your own people can handle after training. Bigger ones we'll quote for, and you're free to take it to anyone else instead.
That's the thing we work hardest to avoid. Your team is involved from day one, every account is in your name, the documentation is written for someone who isn't us, and nothing we deliver needs us to keep it running. The goal is always that you don't need us for the next one.
