How we work

Your process, mapped and put to work

We start with the operation that takes too much time, then build around the way you need it to run.

01

We meet with you to understand the task, who does it, which tools it touches and where the time goes. You show us the current steps, examples and the outcome you need.

02

We map the workflow together, including the information it needs, the rules it should follow and the points that must wait for your team's approval.

03

We build and test the connections using agreed examples. Your team reviews the results and we refine the workflow before it goes into everyday use.

04

Once it is running, we monitor the workflow and adjust it with you as your processes change. Start with one time-consuming task and expand where it makes sense.

Custom workflow FAQs

Before putting a process on autopilot

What can you build a custom workflow for?

Repeatable operations with clear inputs, steps and outcomes are a good starting point — onboarding, document collection, data entry, reporting, approvals and handovers. We review the process with you and explain what can be automated and what should stay with a person.

Does it have to start with a WhatsApp message or email?

No. A workflow can start from a form submission, a change in a connected system, a scheduled time or another agreed trigger. It is built around the process, not a single communication channel.

Can you work with the software we already use?

We check the connection options for your tools during the discussion. Where supported connections or APIs are available, we use them to move information and complete tasks. We'll explain any limitations before agreeing the build.

Can our team approve important steps?

Yes. We agree which steps can run automatically and which need review. Decisions involving sensitive information, spending or exceptions can be routed to the right person before the workflow continues.

What happens if something cannot be completed?

We agree how exceptions should be handled as part of the design, including who is notified and what context they receive. The workflow should flag a problem for attention rather than quietly leave an unfinished task.

Do you use AI in these workflows?

Yes. The workflow runs on event-driven architecture — a change in one of your systems, a form submission or a scheduled time fires the next step automatically, so nothing waits for someone to notice it. AI and LLMs handle the parts that need reading and judgement: extracting details from documents, classifying requests, drafting follow-ups and summarising results. Your rules and approval points decide what runs on its own and what waits for a person.

How much does a custom workflow cost?

We scope the process, connections, complexity and expected volume with you, then agree the build and ongoing costs before work starts. The aim is a workflow that makes sense for the time and work it can save your business.
