Workflow Automation: kill the repetitive work

Lead routing, follow-ups, invoicing, reports — automated end-to-end. LLM-assisted where it helps, deterministic where it matters. Fixed fee, live in 2–4 weeks.

From $4,500 2–4 weeks

Who this is for

Built for businesses like yours

Owners doing admin at night

Invoice chasing, appointment reminders and follow-up emails happening automatically while you get your evenings back.

Teams copy-pasting between tools

Enquiries typed into the CRM, then the spreadsheet, then the invoicing tool — we make the data move itself.

Businesses losing leads to slow follow-up

Every enquiry gets an instant, personalised response and a routed task — no more leads going cold over the weekend.

Agencies & multi-client operators

Client reporting, onboarding checklists and status updates generated and sent without anyone touching them.

What's included

Everything in the fixed fee

  • Automation audit — we map where your hours actually go before quoting
  • Build on n8n, Zapier, Make or custom code — whatever fits your stack
  • Human-in-the-loop checkpoints where judgement still matters
  • Monitoring and alerts so you know the moment something breaks
  • Documentation plus a handover training session

The time account

Before / after: where the hours go

Invoice chasing Before: 5 hrs/week After: 0 — automatic reminders, escalation only when ignored
Lead follow-up Before: 3 hrs/week After: 10 min — instant replies, routed tasks, booked calls
Weekly reports Before: 4 hrs/week After: 0 — auto-generated and emailed every Friday
Data entry between systems Before: 6 hrs/week After: 0 — enquiries flow CRM → spreadsheet → invoicing

Roughly 18 hours a week back — from four workflows. Your numbers will differ; the audit pins them down before you spend a dollar.

Common builds

What we automate most

Lead routing

New enquiry → instant reply → scored, assigned and booked into the right calendar.

Invoice follow-ups

Xero-integrated reminder sequences that escalate politely until paid.

Report generation

Weekly numbers pulled, summarised and emailed — with an LLM writing the commentary.

Inbox triage

Incoming mail classified, drafted and routed; humans approve anything sensitive.

Pricing

From $4,500, fixed. No hourly billing.

Compare it with the cost of the hours: an admin hire is $60k+ per year, and most agencies charge $3k+/month retainers for the same outcomes. Our fixed fee covers the audit, build, monitoring setup and handover.

FAQ

Common questions

What tools do you build automations with?

Whatever fits your stack: n8n, Zapier, Make, or custom code when the platforms hit their limits. We prefer boring, reliable tools over shiny ones — and you own everything we build.

Will the automation break when my tools update?

Every workflow ships with monitoring and alerts, so if something breaks you know before your customers do. An optional monthly retainer covers fixes, tweaks and new flows.

How much time can automation realistically save?

Most clients reclaim 10–20 hours a week across invoicing, follow-ups, reporting and data entry. We map your actual hours during the automation audit — before quoting — so the ROI case is built on your numbers, not averages.

Do I need to change my existing software?

Usually not. We connect the tools you already use — Xero, your CRM, Gmail, calendars, spreadsheets. If a tool genuinely needs replacing, we will tell you why, but that is the exception.
