Book a quick chat

Hand off the admin you do every week.

Invoices, payment reminders, review requests, a chat on your website that answers from your own information. We build it around exactly how you work, connect it to the tools you already use, and have it running about a week after the brief.

An example automation: when a job is marked done, it sends the invoice, sets a payment reminder, books a review request and updates the customer record, one after another, with nothing typed by hand.

What changes when it's running

  • StopCopying details between tools

    StartTyping it in once

    Your tools pass the details along, so the CRM, calendar and invoices all match.

  • StopChasing invoices by hand

    StartGetting paid on time

    Invoices and reminders go out on their own, and stop the moment someone pays.

  • StopFinding out a deadline has passed

    StartGetting a warning before it's due

    Renewals, expiry dates and follow-ups are watched for you.

  • StopBending your process to fit the software

    StartSoftware that works your way

    Built around how the job really runs in your business, not how a template thinks it should.

The difference

Built to keep working after we hand it over.

  1. 01

    Fix the process, then automate it

    Automating a messy process only makes the mess faster. We cut the steps you don't need first, so there's less to go wrong, then automate what's left.

  2. 02

    Your way, and yours to keep

    Built around how the job really runs in your business, connected to what you already pay for and set up in your name. Nothing only we can fix.

Testimonials

From our clients.

  • Local directories used to be so labor-intensive. Building our new site would have taken six months at least. With Richard's systems we were up and running in three weeks, and updating the site is 90% quicker and less effort than it used to be.

  1. Build

    We map the job with you, cut the steps you don't need, then build it and test it with your real work. About a week.

  2. Handover

    Every login in your name, a plain-English guide and an alert if something stops working. Support after that is an optional monthly retainer.

You decide after step 2. Only pay if you like the plan.

Questions

Custom automations: your questions

What can you automate?

Almost any job you repeat: invoices and payment reminders, review requests, re-booking past customers, documents and reports that fill themselves in, and alerts before a deadline or renewal is missed. If you do it the same way every week, it's a good candidate.

Can you give me a real example?

For ResiTech, a relocation company, we built a register of every visa, ID and work permit they manage for a client's staff and their families. It warns the team before anything expires. The same system keeps three versions of their brochure in step and turns each one into a ready-to-send PDF.

How much does it cost?

From $300 for a single automation, like a chat on your website that answers questions from your own information. It's a fixed price, agreed before we start. A bigger job, with several steps or tools, is quoted on your brief.

How long does it take?

About a week once we have the brief. A bigger job gets a date before you agree to anything.

What do you need from me?

A clear picture of the job: what starts it, what happens at each step and where the information lives. We'll help you write it down.

Will it work with the tools I already use?

Usually, yes. We connect to what you already pay for where it still earns its keep, and tell you up front if something can't be done.

Are there running costs after setup?

Any tools it runs on have their own subscriptions, in your name, paid directly to the provider. We list them before you agree to anything.

What happens after handover?

It runs on its own, with every login in your name and a plain-English guide your team can follow. If you'd like us to keep looking after it, support is available on a monthly retainer. It's optional.
