Productized automation. Priced up front.
Recurring, high-pain admin tasks we take off your team’s plate — each with a concrete solution, a starting price, and a build timeline. Pick the complexity tier that fits and ship in weeks.
Prices are indicative “from” starting points — the final figure depends on your systems, data and volume, and excludes the monthly run & support fee.
One task, one system, mostly templated.
Typical build: 1–2 weeks
One workflow, 1–2 integrations, some custom work.
Typical build: 2–4 weeks
Multi-step, AI extraction, multiple / money-sensitive integrations.
Typical build: 4–6 weeks
