[ 00 ] Audit and automation for established SMEs
We don't take orders. We first find what is really holding your business back, agree with you on the number to move, then we build.
[ 01 ] Where it starts
Each one has a cost, in salary, in sales or in customers. The audit puts it in euros.
A request comes in, nobody answers until the next day. The lead has already called someone else.
The phone rings during a job or after 6 pm. Every lost call is a lost customer.
Dockets, invoices and forms retyped by hand from one tool to another.
The same ten questions, every day, handled one by one by someone with better things to do.
Quotes with no reply, unconfirmed appointments, past customers never contacted again.
Numbers copied from three tools into a spreadsheet, every Monday.
[ 02 ] Already running
The product catalogue was imported by hand. It now runs on its own.
Contract deadlines are tracked and flagged to the whole team, with no spreadsheet to maintain.
A complete pipeline that qualifies incoming enquiries, by text message and AI.
A distributor database collected then structured, ready to use.
Clients anonymised. Name and detail on request, with their agreement.
[ 03 ] The offer
€1,500 focused · €4,000 full
We measure what your manual processes cost you and tell you where to start. Two sizes, depending on what you want us to look at.
The deliverable is yours: have it built by whoever you want.
€3,000 to €10,000 · fixed
We build one automation, the most profitable one, until it runs in your business. Its price is set from the gain measured in the audit, and we show you the maths.
One measurable success criterion, written before we start.
€1,500 to €4,000 a month
We keep what is running alive and take on the next bottleneck. This is where time saved turns into revenue gained.
Only offered once the project has proven itself.

[ 05 ] Our commitments
The exact list of what will be delivered is written before you sign. If the need changes, we adjust the scope, not the invoice.
You see the maths: what the process costs you per year, and what removing it costs.
Before we start, we pick with you the number to move and its starting value. That number proves the gain.
The diagnosis, the system and its documentation are handed over to you.

Because it is real work, with a costed deliverable that belongs to you and is worth something even if you stop there.
Focused if you already know where it hurts: we look at that process, cost it, and tell you what to build. Full if things grind everywhere and you don't know where to start: we spend two weeks with you and rank everything by gain.
We tell you. If an automation does not pay for itself within a year, or if we cannot clearly define how we will know it works, we advise against building it. You leave with the diagnosis.
We don't price blind. Without measuring what the problem costs you, there is no way to know whether the project is worth its price. The 30-minute call is free and checks whether an audit makes sense for you.
A few days for a focused audit on one process, two weeks for a full audit. The project then depends on the scope, fixed during the audit along with a go-live date.
Field steps happen on site when you are in or around Perth. For clients in Europe, they happen over video, within the same framework.
For a single task, go ahead. The audit is there to find what really costs you, connect your tools to each other, and make sure it still works when someone is away or a tool changes.
During the project, it is covered. After that, monthly support includes maintenance: if it breaks, I fix it. Without support, you have the documentation to hand it to whoever you want.
You do. The audit deliverable, the system and its documentation are handed over to you.
[ 08 ] Let's start
Free, no commitment. If it is not the right time or the right topic, we will tell you.
