Who is workflow automation for?

We work with owner-managed Irish businesses, professional practices and mid-market organisations. Workflow Automation suits you if the current setup is costing you enquiries, staff hours or credibility — and if you would rather own the result outright than rent it from a platform. If a smaller piece of work would move the needle faster, we say so before quoting anything larger.

Which workflow automation package is right for you?

There are 3 options on this service, separated by scope rather than by quality of work. Quick Automation (plus ), Business Automation (plus ), Full Automation Suite ( plus ). Each package page sets out precisely what is included, what is not, and how long delivery takes, so you can compare like with like before you speak to anyone.

• Quick Automation — Automate your #1 time-waster and start saving hours this week.
• Business Automation — Connected automations that handle leads, follow-ups, bookings, and admin — on autopilot.
• Full Automation Suite — End-to-end automation across your entire operation — from first enquiry to paid invoice.

How does a workflow automation project run?

A short scoping call comes first, then a written scope with a fixed price, a staged build with weekly check-ins, and a handover where you receive the accounts, the assets and the source. Payment is 50% deposit and 50% on launch, or 40/30/30 on larger builds. Most work runs remotely, which keeps the cost down, and we travel to meet clients across Ireland where it genuinely helps.

What does workflow automation cost?

Published starting points: brochure websites the Business Site package the Authority package ecommerce and SEO retainers per month. AI systems work is scoped separately, beginning with a paid feasibility assessment and implementation bands Figures are ex-VAT starting points confirmed in writing after scoping — never a moving hourly meter.

What can business automation actually do for me?

Automation handles the repetitive admin that eats your week: lead capture, quote generation, invoice reminders, Google review requests, calendar booking, CRM updates, and reporting. A typical Irish SME saves 8–15 hours per week within 60 days of setup.

What happens if workflow automation does not suit us?

Then we tell you, and we do not take the project. We would rather turn down work than sell a business something it does not need. Where a different supplier or a cheaper in-house route is the honest answer, we say so on the scoping call. Nothing is invoiced before a written scope is signed, and the scope sets out exactly what is delivered, in what order, and by when.

What does the jump from Quick Automation to Full Automation Suite actually represent?

Quick Automation, with a monthly fee, targets one specific time-wasting task, such as automatically responding to a repeated type of enquiry or moving a new lead into a spreadsheet without manual entry, and is built to prove the value of automation on one clear job before expanding further. Business Automation, with a monthly fee, connects several automations together so leads, bookings, follow-ups and CRM updates happen in sequence rather than as isolated tasks, functioning like a small team of assistants that hand work to each other. Full Automation Suite, with a monthly fee, covers the entire operation end to end, from the first enquiry through to a paid invoice and a review request, so the business runs a consistent process automatically rather than relying on someone remembering each step manually.

How is workflow automation different from the AI agents built under the separate AI Agents service?

Automations built here follow fixed rules: if this happens, do that, reliably and consistently, which suits repetitive, well-defined tasks such as moving data between systems, sending a follow-up email after a set delay, or updating a spreadsheet when a form is submitted. AI agents, covered under the separate AI Agents service involve genuine judgement, holding a conversation, understanding intent and deciding how to respond based on context rather than a fixed rule. Many businesses use both together, with automations handling the mechanical, repetitive connections between systems while an agent handles the parts that genuinely need to interpret what a customer is asking for. Which one a business needs first usually comes down to whether the bottleneck is repetitive admin or unanswered conversations.

What actually gets automated when we work together?

We look at the repetitive admin eating into your week — quote follow-ups, invoice chasing, lead routing, data entry between apps that don’t talk to each other — and replace the manual clicking with a connected workflow. That might mean a new enquiry landing in your inbox automatically creates a task, sends a confirmation email and updates a spreadsheet or CRM, all without you touching it. We start with a short discovery call to map your current process end to end, flag where time is being lost, and agree which steps are worth automating first. Not everything should be automated; some tasks need a human eye, and we’ll tell you honestly when that’s the case rather than overselling a bigger build. Typical projects connect tools you already use — Gmail, Google Sheets, Stripe, WordPress forms — through platforms like Zapier or Make. You’ll get documentation showing how each automation works, so you’re never locked out of understanding your own systems. Ongoing tweaks after launch are billed separately unless agreed upfront.

How long does an automation project take from start to finish?

Most single-workflow automations — say, connecting a booking form to your calendar and CRM — take one to two weeks from the discovery call to going live, depending on how many tools are involved and how much testing is needed. Multi-step automations spanning several departments naturally take longer, and we’ll give you a realistic timeline once we understand the full picture rather than a generic estimate upfront. The biggest delay we see isn’t on our end — it’s waiting on login access to third-party accounts or approval from other people in the business, so having decision-makers available early speeds things up considerably. We test each automation with real scenarios before switching it on fully, catching edge cases like duplicate entries or missing fields before they cause problems downstream. This suits businesses already using digital tools daily but drowning in manual steps between them; it’s not the right fit if you’re still running everything on paper, since we’d need to sort your digital foundations first. Pricing is quoted per project after discovery, not from a fixed list.
