AI & systems › Business process automation
The joins between the tools you already pay for.
Most businesses do not need new software. They need the software they already have to stop requiring a person to carry information between one part and the next.
The work usually starts with a week of your time being mapped rather than a tool being chosen. Which of these tasks has a fixed answer, which needs judgement, and which is load-bearing in a way nobody has written down.
Twenty-one years of running operations is mostly why that step is quick. The failure mode of automation is not technical, it is automating the part that turned out to need a human, and then finding out from a customer.
Y Bark is the clearest example: booking, payment and gate access, end to end, with nobody at the council touching a booking. Seventy-two in the first week, zero staff minutes each, two subscriptions retired.
What this usually includes
- Booking, payment and confirmation flows
- Enquiry capture and routing
- Calendar, CRM and inbox synchronisation
- Document and invoice handling
- Reminders, follow-ups and reporting
- Monitoring, so you know when it breaks
