Website to CRM to inbox
An enquiry writes itself into the CRM, notifies the right person, and starts the follow-up clock. No manual re-entry, no lead lost in a shared mailbox.
Web Development & Systems
The quiet cost in most small businesses is re-typing. The same customer detail entered into a form, a sheet, an invoice and a WhatsApp message. We connect what you already have so it moves itself.
The short version
Ask anyone in your office what takes the longest and you'll rarely hear "the actual work". You'll hear about the sheet that has to be updated, the invoice that has to be raised from the order, the follow-up list someone rebuilds every Monday. It is invisible on the P&L because it doesn't have a line item — it just eats hours.
Automation gets sold as a transformation project. It's usually much smaller than that. In most businesses there are three or four specific handovers that account for the bulk of the wasted time, and connecting those is a matter of weeks, not a change programme.
We look for those first, we do them, and we stop. Automating something nobody does often is a hobby, not a service.
What you get
An enquiry writes itself into the CRM, notifies the right person, and starts the follow-up clock. No manual re-entry, no lead lost in a shared mailbox.
Business messages logged against the customer record and answerable by whoever is on duty, rather than trapped on one person’s phone.
Order details flowing into GST-correct invoicing and into whatever your accountant uses, so month-end stops being a reconstruction exercise.
One screen that answers the question you currently ask someone to go and check — updated automatically, not weekly by hand.
How it runs
Step 01
We map where information changes hands and time the ones people complain about. The list is usually shorter and more boring than expected.
Step 02
We build the highest-value one first and let you live with it for a fortnight. If it doesn’t save the time we said, we don’t build the rest.
Step 03
Written down, in your accounts, with a note on what to do if something breaks. Automation nobody understands is a liability.
FAQ
Usually not. Most of this work is connecting things you already pay for. We'd rather make your existing stack talk to itself than sell you a migration you didn't ask for — replacing a tool is a separate decision with its own cost, and we'll flag it as one.
Some of them will, eventually — an API changes, a password expires. So we build in alerts that tell us before they tell you, document what each one does, and keep a manual path available. Anything that can only work automatically is a single point of failure.
Often more so, because a small team has no slack. The test is simple: if a task happens weekly and takes an hour, it costs you a working week a year. If it happens daily, it's more than a month. We'll do that arithmetic with you before quoting.
