Our AI automation services

Need help with your AI automation initiatives?

AI automation discovery (free service)

A free project to take you from an initial idea or specific workflow to a clear plan for implementing AI automation in the most effective, low-risk way.

Some organisations come to us with a very specific process they want to automate. Others are looking at a wider AI automation initiative but need help identifying where to start. Our discovery process supports both. We assess your systems, data, and workflows to identify where AI automation can deliver the most value, and define a clear, prioritised approach for your project.

AI workflow automation

If you have a specific workflows in mind, we can design and implement AI workflow automations to handle them end-to-end.

This includes automating processes such as order handling, approvals, job management, and cross-system workflows that currently rely on manual input. Our AI workflow automations remove bottlenecks, reduce errors, cut human effort and ensure processes run consistently, without relying on manual intervention.

Finance & back-office AI automation

Many organisations start their AI automation journey with finance and back-office processes.

We can automate workflows such as invoice matching, accounts payable and receivable, reconciliation, credit control, and reporting.

If your teams are manually processing invoices, chasing payments, or reconciling data across systems, our AI automation services can significantly reduce effort while improving accuracy, speed and auditability.

Document processing & data extraction

If your team is manually handling documents, emails, or forms, this is one of the highest-impact areas for AI automation.

We use AI to extract and structure data from invoices, web portals, emails, quotes, contracts, delivery notes, and other operational documents, and feed it directly into your systems. This removes the need for manual data entry and ensures information is captured accurately and consistently across your business.

Operational process automation

Many organisations rely on manual operational tasks that slow down delivery, take up large amounts of staff time and introduce risk.

We automate processes such as quote generation, order processing, work order management, and internal requests, particularly where teams are copying data between systems or managing workflows manually. Our AI automation services streamline these operations, improving speed, consistency, and scalability.

AI marketing automation

We can implement AI marketing automations that improve how leads are captured, qualified, and converted.

This includes automating lead routing, follow-ups, and campaign workflows, as well as introducing AI-driven personalisation where appropriate.

Our focus is on practical automation that integrates with your existing CRM and sales processes, delivering measurable improvements without unnecessary complexity.

AI assistants & decision support

To help enhance your teams with AI assistance, we can develop AI-powered assistants that support teams in day-to-day work.

These can help staff retrieve information, complete tasks, or make decisions faster by accessing data across your systems.

Whether used in customer service, operations, or internal support functions, these tools are designed to empower your human teams.

AI automation support & optimisation

AI automation is not a one-off project. As your business evolves, new opportunities to automate will emerge.

We provide ongoing support and optimisation to improve performance, refine workflows, and extend your AI automation capabilities over time.

This ensures your investment continues to deliver value beyond the initial implementation.

Custom integrations

Many AI automation initiatives depend on connecting multiple systems that were never designed to work together.

As an AI automation agency, we build custom integrations between any systems in your technology landscape, whether an API exists or not. This includes web portals, third-party services, Office documents, CRM platforms, ERP systems, WMS solutions, bespoke software, and other operational tools.

If your current processes rely on manual work to move data between systems, our AI automation services can remove these gaps, ensuring information flows automatically and accurately between your tools.

How much do AI automation services cost?

One of the first questions organisations ask is, “How much does AI automation cost?” We are more than happy to give experience based estimates once you describe the AI automation you require but some of the key factors that impact cost are:

Workflow complexity

The structure of the workflow has a significant impact on cost. Straightforward, linear processes are quicker to automate, whereas workflows with multiple branches, exceptions, and edge cases require more design, testing, and validation.

AI-requirements

The type of AI functionality required can impact the cost. For example, does the automation need to do detailed image analysis, simple text processing or audio review.

Integrations and data quality

Integrating with CRM, ERP, WMS, documents, and third-party systems is standard in AI automation services. However, a high number of integrations, complex legacy systems, or poor data quality can increase the effort required to ensure reliable, end-to-end AI workflow automation.

Level of decision-making logic

Simple, rules-based automation is typically faster and cheaper to implement. More advanced AI automation, where systems are required to interpret nuanced information and replicate complex human judgement, involves additional design, training, and validation.

Security, compliance, and reliability requirements

Business-critical AI automation requires robust testing, monitoring, and governance to ensure accuracy, resilience, and compliance with internal and external standards.

Our engagement models

We offer three main engagement models to suit different project needs. Each model offers its own advantages, and we help you choose the best fit based on your requirements, budget, and timeline.

Fixed price model

Ideal when scope and requirements are well-defined.

We agree on a fixed cost and timeline upfront, ensuring predictability and clear governance.

Fixed-price projects typically follow a Waterfall approach and include a formal change-request process for any variations in scope.

Time & materials project

Best suited to projects with evolving requirements.

You retain flexibility to adjust scope and priorities as the project progresses.

Work is billed according to the time and effort invested, allowing for adaptive delivery while maintaining full transparency.

 
 

Managed service model

Our most flexible and cost-effective model for long-term enterprise engagements.

A dedicated team works as your extended product development arm, delivering ongoing improvements, maintenance and new features.
