What We Automate for Businesses Like Yours

Every automation is built for your specific situation — here are examples of what we build.

Automated Quote Follow-Up System

From Audit to Automation in Days

No lengthy discovery phases or technical jargon. Just a clear process from first call to working automation.

1

Free Automation Audit

We spend an hour understanding how your business operates — where time is wasted, which tasks repeat and which systems you use. We identify the highest-value automation opportunities.

2

Workflow Design

We map out exactly how the automation will work — triggers, actions, data flows and exception handling. You approve the design before we build anything.

3

Build & Test

We build the automation, connect your systems and test thoroughly. You see it working before we hand it over — nothing goes live until you're confident.

We hand over the working automation with clear documentation and training. Ongoing support available as your business grows and needs change.

Common Questions About Business Automation in Lockerbie

Yes — and cross-border businesses often have more to gain from automation than purely local ones. Managing different communication preferences, potentially different tax treatments and customers across two jurisdictions manually is genuinely complex. A well-built CRM and workflow automation can handle all of this consistently — tagging customers by location, applying the right communication rules and keeping everything in sync.
No. We handle all the technical work. Once it's running, most automations need no intervention from you at all — they just work. We document everything clearly so you understand what's happening, and we're on hand if anything needs adjusting.
We primarily build on Make.com and Zapier for workflow automation, with AI integrations using the latest language models. We also build direct API integrations where needed. We'll always use the right tool for your specific situation.
Almost certainly yes. Make.com and Zapier connect with over 2,000 apps — every major CRM, email platform, accounting tool, booking system and website platform. Gmail, Outlook, Xero, QuickBooks, HubSpot, Shopify, Calendly — if you use it, we can connect it.
Simpler automations can be live within a few days. More complex workflows with multiple integrations and AI components typically take 1–2 weeks. We give you a clear timeline at the design stage.
It depends on complexity — a simple follow-up sequence costs far less than a full AI customer service integration. Nothing is paid upfront — we prove value before you commit. Get in touch for a free audit and honest quote.
