Business automation
Automation that gives local businesses their time back.
Most small firms lose hours a week to admin that a computer should be doing. I am an engineer, not a reseller, so I build the boring parts to run themselves, around the tools you already use.
Preston and Lancashire. Honest advice first, and I will tell you straight if you do not need it yet.
Where the time goes
The admin that quietly costs you a day a week.
Manual admin every day
Copying details into a spreadsheet, chasing paperwork, retyping the same message. Hours that never turn into paid work.
The same task, again and again
If you do it by hand more than once a week and it never really changes, it is a job a computer should be doing, not you.
Double-entry between tools
A booking lands in one place, then gets typed again into your calendar, your accounts and your customer list. Three chances to get it wrong.
Follow-ups that slip
The quote nobody chased, the review you meant to ask for, the reminder that went out too late. Money leaks out of the gaps.
What I can automate
Concrete jobs I take off your plate.
No buzzwords. These are real flows I build for real businesses, each one shaped around how you already work.
Quotes and invoices
A customer asks for a price, the quote goes out, and once it is accepted the invoice follows on its own. No retyping, no forgotten numbers.
Booking and reminders
Let people book a slot online, then send the confirmation and the day-before reminder automatically, so fewer no-shows and no manual texting.
Syncing data between tools
Keep your bookings, calendar, accounts and customer list in step, so a change in one place shows up everywhere without you copying it across.
Lead capture
Every enquiry from your site, inbox or forms lands in one tidy list, tagged and ready to answer, instead of scattered across places you forget to check.
Reporting that writes itself
A simple weekly summary of jobs, income and enquiries, built from your real numbers and sent to your inbox, so you always know where you stand.
How it works
An engineer builds it around your actual tools.
We map what actually happens
I sit with how your business really runs, step by step, and find the bits that are repetitive, error-prone or just eating your time.
I build it around your tools
No forcing you onto new software you did not ask for. Where it makes sense I work with what you already use, and only add something new when it genuinely earns its place.
You watch it run, then it is yours
We try it on real work, tune the edge cases, and I hand it over documented. If something breaks later, fixing it is my job, not yours.
Why trust me with it
I run production systems with real money and real data.
Automation is only useful if it is reliable, so the person building it has to understand the hard parts. I do not just wire up demos. I run live products in production: AnswerMe Pro moves real payments and payouts through subscriptions and prizes, and Events Made Easy ships from one codebase to the web, the App Store and Google Play. The same care that keeps money moving safely there is what goes into automating your admin.

Tell me the task that eats your week. I will tell you honestly whether it is worth automating, and roughly what it would take. No cost, no jargon, no pushy sales.
