Business process automation and integration

You probably do not need more software. You need the software you have to talk to itself.

Where leads actually die

Not in the ad, and not on the landing page. They die in the gap between a form submission and a human being. The enquiry lands in a shared inbox, gets read by someone who assumes someone else has it, and by the time anyone calls back the prospect has hired the company that answered in four minutes. Nobody logs that as a loss, so nobody fixes it.

What the work actually is

01

Map the path a lead takes

We follow one real enquiry from click to close and write down every hand off, every place it waits on a person, and every place it can silently vanish. The map is usually the most uncomfortable and most useful document of the engagement.

02

Connect what you already pay for

Mailchimp, Salesforce, HubSpot, Calendly, and whatever else is on the invoice. Most stacks have integrations nobody turned on, so the first pass is often free capability rather than new subscriptions. We would rather delete a tool than add one.

03

Follow up that does not depend on memory

Instant acknowledgement to the enquirer, routing and alerts to the right person, a reminder if nobody has touched it in a day, and a sequence for the ones who go quiet. Persistence beats charm on follow up, and software is more persistent than people on a busy week.

04

Reporting stops being a chore

When the systems are joined up, the monthly numbers assemble themselves. Source, response time, and outcome per lead, without anyone rebuilding a spreadsheet on the last Friday of the month.

05

Built to be handed over

Every automation is documented in plain language, in your accounts, with the trigger and the owner written down. Undocumented automations are worse than none, because eventually one fires wrong and nobody knows where it lives.

How we run it

The same order every time, because the expensive mistakes all come from doing step four before step two.

  1. 01

    Trace one lead

    Watch a real enquiry travel through the business and record every stop it makes.

  2. 02

    Find the gaps

    Where it waits, where it duplicates, and where it disappears without a trace.

  3. 03

    Wire it

    Integrations, routing, alerts, and sequences inside the tools you already own.

  4. 04

    Test with real submissions

    Every path fired end to end, including the failure paths, before anyone relies on it.

  5. 05

    Document and hand over

    A written map of what fires when, and who to call when it stops.

Process automation, answered plainly

Do we need new software for this?

Usually not. The most common outcome is switching on integrations you are already paying for and removing one tool that duplicated another. New subscriptions are a last resort.

Will this replace people on our team?

No, it removes copy and paste from their week. Nobody has ever asked us to help them make redundancies. They ask because the same person is doing three jobs and one of them keeps slipping.

We use an unusual industry system. Can you work with it?

Often yes. If it has an API or can send a webhook we can usually connect it. If it can only export a CSV on a Tuesday, we will tell you that honestly and design around it.

How long does an automation project take?

Small ones are days. Rewiring the whole path from enquiry to close is typically four to eight weeks, most of which is agreeing on what should happen rather than building it.

What happens when something breaks?

Alerts fire to a real person, not into a log nobody reads. Because we also hold your documentation, we can usually see what changed and where without a discovery phase.

Can you automate reporting for several brands at once?

Yes, and it is where this work pays back fastest. Consolidated reporting across brands is normally somebody's manual Friday, every Friday.

Talk to someone who does process automation

Half an hour with someone who does this work rather than someone who sells it. Bring the awkward questions.
