Save time

Give your team back the hours they lose to copying and chasing.

Most teams lose a day or more each week moving the same information between email, spreadsheets and systems. We measure where those hours go, automate the worst of it in the tools you already run, and measure again afterwards.

For owners and operations leads at companies of 5 to 1,000 people whose team spends part of every day retyping, chasing or checking.

Read how it was measured

Before and after

What changes in a normal week.

Today

  • Orders arrive by email and get typed into a spreadsheet, then into the accounting system.
  • Someone spends Monday morning building last week’s report by hand.
  • Status questions from customers and colleagues are answered one message at a time.
  • Nobody can say how many hours this takes, so it never gets fixed.

After the build

  • Orders are read once and land in the system of record, with the invoice raised from the same record.
  • The report is built overnight from live data and is waiting before anyone logs in.
  • Customers and colleagues see status in a portal or get an update when it changes.
  • Hours saved are measured against the audit baseline and reported back to you.

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.

  • Order and enquiry intake

    Email, form and marketplace orders read once and written to one record, with exceptions sent to a person.

  • Scheduled reports

    The weekly pack pulled from your systems on a schedule, with a short written summary of what changed.

    Google Sheets
  • Status without the chasing

    A portal or automatic updates so people stop asking where things are.

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.

How do you know how much time we will save?

We do not guess. The $500 audit measures the hours each task takes today with the people who do it, and each fix is priced against those hours. After go-live we measure again.

Will we have to change our tools?

Usually not. We build on the tools you already run and only suggest a change when a tool cannot do the job.

What happens to the people whose work is automated?

That is your decision. Most clients use the time for work that was being put off: customers, follow-ups, growth. We report the hours; you decide where they go.

Save time

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.
