Business process automation
Work no one should be doing by hand
Every company has a few processes that eat up a full-time role and amount to moving information from one place to another.
Who it's for
- Teams spending days on reports that get built the same way every month
- Companies where approving a document means an email chain
- Organisations hiring more people to do work a rule could do
What you get
Process map and hour count
We start by counting how much time the process costs today.
More
Without that number, there's no way to judge whether automating it pays off.
Document and approval flows
Requests, orders and invoices with approval rules, reminders and a decision history.
Automatically generated reports
The summaries a person compiles today, built by themselves and delivered wherever they need to land.
Data synchronisation
No more retyping the same record into three systems.
Notifications and escalations
The system watches deadlines instead of a person who has to remember them.
Narrower scopes within this service
If you already know exactly what you need, the pages below describe it directly.
- Electronic document workflowInvoice and contract approvals in a system instead of an email chain. With a decision trail, deputies and deadlines that don't vanish into an absent person's inbox.
- Reporting automationReports that produce themselves instead of being assembled monthly from three exports. With figures calculated live and one definition per metric.
How we work
- 01
Audit and process selection
We review the candidates and pick the one with the best savings-to-difficulty ratio.
- 02
Rule design
We write down the edge cases and exceptions. They decide success, not the happy path.
- 03
Rollout
The automation runs alongside the manual process, so results can be compared.
- 04
Switchover and expansion
We turn off the manual version and move on to the next process.
Pricing models
Fixed price per process
One process, known scope, known price.
More
The most common and safest model.
Automation retainer
A fixed monthly pool of hours for further automations, for companies that want to go process by process.

Frequently asked questions
Which process should we start with?
The one performed most often with the fewest exceptions — not the most annoying one. Annoyance and cost are two different things, and automating a process full of exceptions can end up more expensive than doing it by hand.
Does automation mean layoffs?
In practice, usually not. What disappears is work nobody wanted to do, and the team takes on things there was never time for before. If the goal is headcount reduction, we'll say honestly whether a given process can carry that.
How long until it pays for itself?
With a well-chosen process, usually 6–12 months. That's why we start by counting hours — without that, it's guesswork.
How is this different from off-the-shelf no-code tools?
It isn't, if your process fits what they can do — then we'll point you to a tool instead of writing code. The difference shows up with rules those tools can't express, and at volumes where they start getting expensive.
