Newton's first law

A business at rest stays at rest

Manual work does not decay on its own. Someone re-types the invoice, someone chases the approval, someone copies the row into the sheet. It happens every week, indefinitely, until an external force acts on it.

  • Built on n8n
  • Self hosted
  • You own it

We are the external force

We map how work actually moves through your business, not how the process document says it moves, and then build the systems that carry it without a person in the loop.

  • Free friction audit

Automation removes the waiting, not the people

The steps barely change. What disappears is the hand-off between them, which is where nearly all the delay lives. One accounts payable invoice waits at four hand-offs by hand, and at none once it is automated.

  • Four hand-offs removed

The whole return

In motion, unattended, indefinitely

Once a process is genuinely automated it keeps running through holidays, resignations and busy seasons, without costing you anything further. Applying the force costs you once. The motion afterwards is free.

  • Runs unattended

The work nobody should still be doing by hand

These are the processes we are asked for most often. Each is built on your own systems, under your own accounts, and runs without anybody watching it.

No.ProcessWhat it does and what it replaces
01Invoices and billsInvoices arrive by email, get read automatically, are checked against the purchase order, and post themselves into your accounting system. A person only ever sees the ones that do not match.Replaces re-keying and line by line PO matching
02Leads and enquiriesEnquiries from your website, WhatsApp and inbox land in one place, get qualified against your own criteria, and reach the right salesperson while the lead is still warm rather than the next morning.Replaces manual triage, scoring and chasing
03Reports and dashboardsNumbers pulled from your systems, assembled into the report you actually read, and delivered to the right people every Monday morning, without anyone spending Sunday night building it.Replaces the weekly spreadsheet ritual
04Customer supportIncoming messages are read, categorised and routed. Routine questions come back with a drafted reply ready to send. Anything unusual goes straight to a person with the history already attached.Replaces inbox sorting and copy paste answers
05Social media postingA content calendar that publishes itself. Captions drafted in your voice, images attached, posts going out on schedule to every channel, with a review step so nothing reaches the public without a human saying yes.Replaces posting the same thing five times
06Client onboardingA client signs, and everything downstream happens on its own. Folders created, accounts provisioned, welcome sequence sent, first meeting booked, the internal team told. Nothing depends on somebody remembering the checklist.Replaces the checklist people keep forgetting

Not on this list? Most of what we build is not. If somebody on your team runs the same sequence of steps more than a few times a week, it is worth a conversation.

Three kinds of force

Automate 01

The repetitive sequence a person runs today, rebuilt so it runs itself and tells you when it cannot. Workflow automation on n8n, self hosted on your own infrastructure, with AI agents where judgement is needed and human approval where it genuinely belongs.

Integrate 02

Most automation fails at the seams between tools. We connect your CRM, accounting, helpdesk and databases properly, and write custom API work where no off the shelf connector exists. Unglamorous, and it decides whether the rest holds.

Operate 03

An automation nobody watches becomes a liability the first time a provider changes something. We monitor every live workflow, fix what breaks, and hand the whole thing over with documentation whenever you want to take it in house.

How working together actually goes

Four phases, in order, because each depends on the one before it. You can stop after any of them and keep what has been built.

01

Friction audit

Free, and yours to keep

We sit with the people who do the work and follow one process end to end. You get a written map of where the time goes and what is automatable, whether or not you go on to hire us.

02

First workflow

Small, fast, provable

We pick the single highest value process and ship it. One workflow, in production, doing real work. Small enough to approve without a committee, concrete enough that you can judge us on it.

03

System build

Scoped after the audit

Once the first proves out, we build the connected set. The workflows around it, the integrations they depend on, the monitoring that tells you when something breaks. Delivered in working increments.

04

Handover or retainer

Entirely your call

Take it in house with documentation and training, and we walk away. Or keep us on to run, monitor and extend it. We will tell you which one we think fits, including when the answer is that you do not need us.

On us, not on you

We are asking you to trust a supplier with a process your business depends on. These are the terms that make that a reasonable thing to do.

It ships, or it is free

Your first workflow goes live inside the window we agree at sign off, or you are not invoiced for it.

Month one refundable

On any retainer the first month is fully refundable. If it is not working, say so and it is returned, without an argument.

You own all of it

Workflows run on your infrastructure, under your accounts. No lock in, no proprietary layer of ours in the middle, and a full export whenever you ask.

Start with the cheapest possible commitment. One process, one conversation, a written map you keep either way.
