Automation

Give the hours back to the people doing the work.

Operations teams quietly run on spreadsheets and copy-paste. We replace that with reliable automation and internal tools — measured in hours saved per week, not tickets closed.

What we build

Inside Automation & Internal Tooling.

01

Workflow automation

Durable, retryable processes across systems that were never meant to talk.

02

Internal admin tools

Back-office consoles with audit trails and role-based access.

03

Document processing

OCR and LLM extraction pipelines with human-in-the-loop review.

04

Integration layers

Salesforce, NetSuite, SAP, HubSpot and bespoke API glue.

05

Robotic process automation

Only where no API exists — with monitoring, because UI bots break.

Comparison

Automation approaches compared

The rule of thumb: automate against an API when one exists, and treat UI automation as a last resort.

OptionStrengthTrade-offChoose it when
API-first workflow codeReliable, testable, observable, version controlled.Needs engineers and an available API.Core business processes that must not fail silently.
Low-code (n8n, Power Automate)Very fast to build, business users can maintain it.Hard to test and review; sprawl gets ugly.Departmental automations of modest criticality.
Internal tool buildersDays from idea to usable admin UI.Licence cost and limited UX customisation.Back-office CRUD and ops consoles.
RPA (UI robots)Automates systems with no integration surface at all.Fragile — breaks on any UI change.Legacy or vendor systems that cannot be integrated.
Advantages
  • Payback is usually measurable within a quarter.
  • Errors and rework fall alongside the manual effort.
  • Documented workflows survive staff turnover.
Honest trade-offs
  • Automating a broken process just makes it break faster — we redesign first.
  • Every automation is a system to monitor and own.
  • Low-code sprawl becomes a maintenance liability without governance.
