AI agents & automation

Software that does the copying, checking and chasing your team now does by hand.

Tasks it removes

  • Re-typing orders from emails into the ERP
  • Copying invoice lines from PDFs into the accounting system
  • Chasing customers for missing documents

What you get

  • A map of the work, with the hours each step takes
  • An agent doing the routine cases, with a person checking the rest
  • A log of everything it did, in plain words

Worked example

Before

Two people re-type about 60 emailed orders a day into the ERP. It takes them most of the morning.

After

The agent enters each order as it arrives. One person checks the few it isn't sure about, in about 20 minutes.

Custom software & internal tools

The tool your team keeps asking for, built around how they already work.

Tasks it removes

  • Keeping the same customer list in three spreadsheets
  • Asking a colleague how far a job has got
  • Approvals lost in email threads

What you get

  • Something your team can use every week
  • Changes that go live without breaking what already works
  • Every account and all the code in your company's name

Worked example

Before

Job status lives in a shared spreadsheet and a group chat. The office manager spends the afternoon answering "where is my order?" calls.

After

One screen shows every job and its stage. Customers get a message when their order moves, and most of the calls stop.

Data & reporting

One set of numbers everyone agrees on, updated without anyone touching it.

Tasks it removes

  • Building the Friday spreadsheet
  • Exporting from three tools and pasting into one
  • Arguing about whose figures are right

What you get

  • Your tools feeding one set of numbers, automatically
  • Reports that replace the Friday spreadsheet
  • A note on where each number comes from

Worked example

Before

Every Friday the finance lead exports sales, stock and invoices, then spends three hours lining them up in a spreadsheet.

After

The report is ready on Monday morning, from the same sources, and nobody builds it by hand.

Fractional CTO & audit

A senior engineer on your side of the table when you buy, hire or rebuild.

Tasks it removes

  • Judging a vendor's quote with nobody technical in-house
  • Interviewing developers you can't assess
  • Guessing whether to fix the old system or start again

What you get

  • A written audit with the order to fix things in
  • A second opinion on quotes and contracts
  • Vendor and hiring calls you can delegate

Worked example

Before

A vendor quotes six months to rebuild the customer portal, and nobody in-house can say whether that's fair.

After

A written review two weeks later: which parts need rebuilding, which can stay, and what to ask the vendor before you sign.

How pricing works

There is no price list. Every job starts with a week of mapping for a fixed fee, and that fee is credited against the build if you go ahead.

After that week you get a fixed quote for the work we found: what we ship, how long it takes and what it costs. If the job is smaller than it looked, the quote says so. If we're not the right fit, we tell you on the first call.

Four questions, then you pick a call slot. The form runs on Handpick, our own lead-qualification product, so this is also a short demo of how we build.
