You are not sure who still needs a reply
Messages arrive from everywhere and follow-up depends on memory. We can bring them into one view with reminders, so nothing waits unanswered.
Custom solutions
You started a business to do the work, not the paperwork.
Small businesses and agencies lose hours every week to repetitive admin. We build custom software and practical technology, including AI automation, so your time goes back to the work you actually do.
The day you planned is not the day you got
The enquiry you meant to answer is buried. The report still is not done. The same questions came in again.
Most small teams do not need a big system. They need these small, stubborn drains on their time to stop. We listen to how the work really happens, then fix the part that hurts most. Often a standard tool can do the job for less, and we will say so.
Who this is for
Businesses with a specific, lawful problem that software or digital technology can reasonably solve. We work with agencies and small businesses, and welcome others with a clear problem.
You do not need a technical background or a written specification. A few honest sentences about what is going wrong is enough to start.
Problems we help reduce
You answer the same questions all day
Staff and clients ask the same things again and again. We can set up assistants that give consistent first answers, with a person handling anything that matters.
You retype the same details into three tools
Copy and paste wastes time and invites mistakes. We can connect your tools and automate the handoffs between them.
The monthly report eats half a day
Pulling the same numbers together is slow and tedious. We can bring them into one page that keeps itself up to date.
The whole business lives in one fragile spreadsheet
When one file runs everything, mistakes and version confusion follow. We can move it into a simple tool with logins, forms and history.
Paperwork and information keep piling up
Emails, forms, quotes and notes need sorting, reading and rewriting. We can use automation and AI to sort, summarise and draft, so people spend time deciding instead of reading.
These are examples of the pain we work on. They are not a menu, and your problem may look different. If it does, tell us.
AI that does the boring parts, so people can do the human parts
Many tasks in a small business are repetitive: sorting, summarising, drafting, finding details, routing. AI can take some of that on. We use it where it clearly saves effort, keep a person in charge of anything that matters, and say plainly what it can and cannot do. Where a simple rule works better than AI, we use the rule.
Sorting and routing
Incoming emails, forms and requests are categorised and sent to the right person.
Summarising
Long threads, calls and documents become short notes people can act on.
Drafting
First drafts of replies, quotes and reports from your own information, for you to review.
Finding details
Names, dates and amounts are pulled from emails, invoices and forms into your systems.
Routine questions
Consistent first answers to common questions, handing over to a person when it is unsure.
AI can make mistakes. We design for that: people review what matters, and we test with your real examples before anything relies on it.
Why work with us
We run software of our own
We build and operate our own live software, so we know what it takes to keep something working, not only to hand it over.
We tell you when the answer is no
If software or AI will not help, we say so before you spend anything.
Plain words, written scope
You get a plain description of what we will build, and what we will not, in writing before work starts.
How a project starts
-
Step 1
Tell us the problem
Describe what is going wrong and what result you want, in a few sentences.
-
Step 2
We assess it
We check whether software can reasonably solve the problem and whether we are the right people to do it.
-
Step 3
We write the terms
If we go ahead, we put the scope and terms in writing.
-
Step 4
We build in small steps
Each step is checked against the agreed outcome.
What is agreed before work begins
Before we build anything, we put the project terms in writing. They cover what will be delivered and what will not, and how we will agree the work is done. They also cover the price and how it is paid, the timeline, who owns the result, and what support there is after launch. You decide with the full picture in front of you.
When we are not the right fit
We do not take on work that is unlawful or that breaks a platform's rules. We also say so when a standard product, or a different kind of supplier, would serve you better.
Questions
How much does custom software cost?
It depends on what is needed, which is why we assess the problem first. The price is set out in writing before work begins.
How long does it take?
It depends on the scope. The timeline is agreed in writing before work begins.
Who owns what we build?
Ownership is stated in the written project terms before work begins.
Do you support the software after launch?
Support after launch is covered in the written project terms.
Can you work with the tools we already use?
Often yes. It depends on the tools, and we check before we promise anything.
What do I need to send to start?
The problem, in a few sentences, and the result you want. Links, screenshots or examples help but are optional.
Tell us what is eating your week
We will reply by email and tell you honestly whether we can help.
