For founders and owners

Stop being the person your team asks before they can do anything.

In a company of 10 or 40 people, the owner often holds the price list, the customer history and the status of each job in their head. We write that knowledge into a system your team can read and update, so the questions stop coming to your phone.

For owners of companies with 5 to 100 people who still answer most of the operational questions in person each day.

Read how it was measured

Before and after

What changes in a normal week.

Today

  • Your phone fills with questions about prices, stock and where a job has got to.
  • Holidays mean checking messages from the beach, because nobody else knows the answer.
  • You find out a customer was left waiting when they complain to you directly.
  • Hiring one more person feels like the only fix, and each hire adds more questions.

After the build

  • Prices, customer history and job status live in one shared record the team looks up.
  • A week away means a morning summary in your inbox and a short list of decisions for you.
  • Late jobs and unanswered customers are flagged to the person who owns them, with you copied when it matters.
  • New starters learn from the system, and you decide on hiring with the hours measured.

What we build

The systems behind the change.

Built in your accounts, at a fixed price agreed after the audit. Builds start at $1,500.

  • One shared record for the business

    Customers, jobs and prices moved out of your head and your inbox into a base the whole team reads from and keeps current.

  • A daily summary for you

    Each morning, a short note of what is late, what is waiting on you and what changed yesterday, written from the live records.

  • Alerts to the right person

    When a job slips or an enquiry sits unanswered, the owner of it hears first by Slack or WhatsApp.

How it starts

Three steps, each with a price.

  1. 01Discovery call

    Thirty minutes on the work your team does by hand. Free, and you leave with a yes or no on fit.

  2. 02Automation Audit, $500

    One to two weeks with the people who do the work. Each fix gets hours saved and a fixed price. Credited to the build.

  3. 03Build, from $1,500

    Two-week sprints in your accounts, then 60 days of hypercare by the same engineers.

Questions

What people ask first.

What will this cost me?

The audit is $500 and is credited to the build. Builds start at $1,500 for a single workflow and $3,000 for an internal tool, at a fixed price agreed after the audit.

How much of my time will it take?

A few hours across the audit, mostly walking us through how work moves today. During the build we need short check-ins and someone on your team to test it.

We tried AI tools before and nobody used them. Why would this be different?

We build inside the tools your team already opens and measure use after go-live. If something is not used during the 60 days of hypercare, we change it or take it out.

Founders

Bring one process your team still runs by hand.

On a discovery call we look at how it runs today and tell you what it would take to change it, with a price. The call is free.
