Automation & Agents

Process automation for your business.

Recurring work with fixed steps, carried out automatically. We map your processes and automate the steps that go the same way every time.

Automation and agents

A system that does the groundwork: reading what comes in, looking up what's needed and preparing the reply or the quote. You press send.

01

Quote request

Reads the enquiry and the attachment, looks up your prices and prepares the quote in your template.

02

Job sheet to invoice

Takes hours and materials from the job sheet and creates the invoice, with the right VAT and the right project.

03

Receipts

Reads the amount, date and supplier from a photo of a receipt and files it in the right place in your accounts.

04

Booking an appointment

Checks when it's possible, suggests three times and prepares the appointment as soon as there's a reply.

05

Incoming email

Sorts what comes in, picks out what is an enquiry and prepares a draft reply.

06

Chasing up

Keeps track of which quotes haven't had a reply and puts them on your list before it's too late.

Rule or agent

Not everything needs AI. Sometimes a fixed rule is better.

A fixed rule is cheaper, faster and more predictable. We only use an agent where something has to be understood.

A fixed rule is enough when

  • The rules don't change
  • The steps are the same every time
  • There's little text to understand
  • A mistake is easy to check

You need an agent when

  • What comes in is messy: emails, text, documents
  • Something has to be understood, not just moved
  • There are several possible next steps
  • A colleague deals with the exceptions
Result

Time, a clear overview, fewer mistakes and lower costs.

Time

The hours now spent on retyping, looking things up and chasing go back into the work that earns your business its living.

Overview

Enquiries, orders and appointments in one place, with a log of what happened. Nothing is left sitting in someone's inbox.

Fewer mistakes

No typos from retyping, no forgotten follow-ups, and every step done the same way every time.

Costs

Getting more work done without hiring extra people, and losing less money to mistakes and enquiries that go unanswered.

Calculator

What does manual work cost you each year?

Enter how much time goes into manual work at the moment. The share that can be automated is an assumption, so feel free to change the percentage.

1,380 hours per year

€ 62,100 in manual work per year

Of which € 18,630 could be automated if the assumption holds.

A worked example, not a promise, based on 46 working weeks a year. We'll see what's possible for you once we've spent half a day watching the work.

How we work

Step by step, and you stay in control.

  1. 01

    Observe

    We watch the recurring work: what comes in, where it goes and where it goes wrong.

  2. 02

    Define

    Together we set out the rules and which systems are involved. You decide what is allowed to run automatically.

  3. 03

    Build

    In a sealed-off test environment, not on your live systems.

  4. 04

    Test

    It runs alongside your current work first. Only when it's right does it go live.

  5. 05

    Hand over

    You get the log, the explanation and the switch to turn it off. It's yours.

Handover

Your team knows how it works before it goes live.

At handover your team gets a short briefing, on paper and in person.

What the system does

In plain language: which tasks it takes over and which it doesn't.

Which data it uses

What it can access, and what it can't.

When a colleague checks

Which steps always need approval first.

How to report a mistake

One fixed place, and who picks it up from there.

What must stay out

Which information you never put into an AI tool.

Who changes it

Who makes changes, and how you ask for one.

Anyone who uses AI has to make sure their people know enough about it (Article 4 of the EU AI Act). That's why this briefing is part of every handover.

Risks

Where it goes wrong for others, and what we do about it.

An integration with your CRM, ERP or accounting touches the heart of your business. This is how we set it up.

Whether we can get at your data ourselves

That shouldn't be necessary. The system runs on your accounts. We have access while we're building, and after that only when you ask.

Your customer list in a free AI tool

A member of staff pastes customer details into a chatbot, and you no longer know where they are. We only work with services that don't feed your data into their model, and we only send what the task needs.

A system that can get into everything

Each agent only gets access to the mailbox, folder or list it needs for its task.

An invoice that goes out unchecked

We agree in advance what the system handles itself and what a person checks first, and we put a figure on it.

Nobody knows what happened

Every action is logged: what happened, when, why and who set it off.

Being tied to whoever built it

Everything runs on your own accounts and your own domain. If we stopped tomorrow, it would keep running and someone else could take over.

It stops just when you need it

Integrations break when a supplier changes something. We keep an eye on them and get them running again. You can switch off any integration yourself.

Lead Engine

Get found → enquiry → follow-up → appointment → report. Automation is the part that makes sure nothing falls through the cracks along the way.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions.

What is process automation?

With process automation, software carries out a fixed series of steps that you currently do by hand. For example: an enquiry comes in, the details go into your admin system and the customer gets a confirmation. It runs on fixed rules, so without AI.
