The repetitive office jobs, done for you.

The kind of thing worth looking at

If any of these sound like your place, there is probably something here worth an hour.

• Someone retypes details out of emails into a spreadsheet.
• Delivery dockets turned into invoices at the end of every week.
• Quotes built by hand from the same template every time.
• A monthly report somebody rebuilds from scratch.
• Service dates and certificates tracked on a wall planner.
• The same form filled in with different names on it.
• The same figures typed into two systems that do not talk to each other.
• Paperwork that only one person in the building knows how to do.

First we work out what it is costing you

Not the software, the job itself. Say one person spends three quarters of an hour, five times a week, moving information from one place to another.

Three steps, and the first one is free

No obligation at any point, and nothing to prepare before I arrive.

1. I call out to you

   An hour. I sit with whoever actually does the job and watch how it is really done, not how it is supposed to be done.

2. You get a straight answer

   What it is costing you now, what could be automated and what could not. If you would be better off using something you already pay for, I will say so.

3. A fixed price, in writing

   Two pages. What I would build, what it costs, what changes. Nothing goes out to your customers without one of your own people approving it first.

Where it actually helps, and where it does not

Plenty of business owners are being told they should be doing something with AI, usually without anyone explaining what for. Here is the straight version.

What it is genuinely good at

Reading documents and emails that are never laid out the same way twice. Supplier invoices, delivery dockets, enquiry emails, order forms, application paperwork.

Getting information off those reliably used to need rigid templates and mostly did not work. It got a great deal cheaper and more accurate in the last couple of years, and that is what makes most of this work possible now.

And where it does not. It is one tool among several, not a reason to change how you run the place. Plenty of jobs are better done with a setting you already own, a spreadsheet formula, or a bit of plain code. If that is the answer in your case, I will tell you, and you will have saved yourself a project.

For most of this work your data never leaves your own systems. Where a job genuinely needs an outside service, you will know before it happens and it goes in writing beforehand.
