Senior UK engineering team, based in Suffolk
Stop running your business out of spreadsheets.
Pick the workflow your team hates most. We'll have it running on autopilot inside your tools in 14 days. You don't pay until it does what we agreed in writing.
Who we work with
Still copy-pasting leads from your inbox to a spreadsheet? We replace the manual chains in your day-to-day with software your team will actually use.
We're a good fit if:
- You run or support a growing business in the UK
- Your team loses hours every week to manual, repetitive work
- Your lead handling, onboarding, or delivery lives in spreadsheets, email threads, or people's heads
- You want proof it works before committing to a bigger project
The 14-day pilot
You don't pay until it works.
The fee is fixed on that first call, and you don't pay it until the pilot does what we agreed.
Pick the workflow your team hates most. We scope it together on a 90-minute call, agree in writing what success looks like, and build until it's running inside your real tools. We take on a few pilots a month, with early-client terms while we build our UK case-study portfolio.
Who it's for
- UK businesses with a repeatable process that eats hours every week
- Teams living in spreadsheets, inboxes, and copy-paste
- Owners who want proof before committing to anything bigger
What you get
- One workflow automated and running inside your tools by day 14
- A one-page success criterion agreed on day one, so 'done' is never vague
- A map of your workflows, with a ranked list of what to automate next
- 30 days of fixes and tweaks after launch, included
- Handover docs and a walkthrough. Your team owns everything we build
What we need from you
- 90 minutes on day one with the person who owns the process
- Access to the tools the workflow touches
- Quick feedback while we build. Days matter in a 14-day pilot
How the 14 days run
No mystery handoffs and no big reveal at the end. You see your automation working from the first week.
Scoping call
Day 1. Ninety minutes with the person who owns the process. We map the workflow, agree what success looks like, and put it on one page in plain English. The fee is fixed here, before any work starts.

First working slice
Days 2 to 5. We build the core of the automation and show it running on your real examples by the end of the week.

Wired into your tools
Days 6 to 10. The automation moves into your actual systems and runs alongside the current process, so nothing breaks while it proves itself.

Live, with handover
Days 11 to 14. We switch it on, walk your team through it, and hand over the documentation. Your 30 days of included fixes start here.

Where pilots usually start
Every business has its own version of the same time sinks. These are the workflows we automate most often.
Enquiries sitting unanswered in an inbox
Lead handling and follow-up
Every enquiry captured, logged, and chased without anyone touching a spreadsheet.
- Website, email, and phone enquiries collected into one list
- Automatic first replies and follow-up reminders
- Quotes chased until they get an answer
Onboarding lives in email threads
Client onboarding and portals
New clients move from 'yes' to 'up and running' without the back-and-forth.
- Self-service portals for documents and updates
- Automated document collection and reminders
- Status visible to the client without them asking
Copy-paste between tools you already pay for
Internal admin and reporting
The tools you have, finally talking to each other.
- CRM, billing, and support data kept in sync
- Weekly reports that assemble themselves
- Approvals and handoffs that move on their own
Answers buried in docs, tickets, and inboxes
AI on your documents and data
Practical AI on your own information. Answers in seconds, not afternoons.
- Q&A over your documentation and SOPs
- Support replies drafted for your team to review
- Data pulled out of emails and PDFs automatically
Don't see yours? If it's repetitive and follows rules, it can probably be piloted. Ask us.
What this looks like in practice
Stowmarket Life is a community events site. Underneath, it's the same engine we build for businesses: a manual, repetitive process that used to eat someone's week, now on autopilot, with AI doing the legwork and people only signing off.
Stowmarket Life: a site that keeps itself current
The same trap a business hits with leads, orders, or reporting: information scattered across dozens of sources, and collecting it, cleaning it up, and publishing it by hand was a full-time job.
- One pipeline pulls events from dozens of venues and sources automatically, with no copy-paste
- AI cleans up and enriches every entry before it goes live
- An AI pipeline reviews and publishes community submissions, with a human sign-off
- AI agents handle the routine upkeep, so the day-to-day needs no manual admin
Hundreds of events stay current on autopilot. The team writes a few lines of feedback; the system handles review, enrichment, and publishing. It's the weekly admin we take off a business, running at full scale.
