Overview
Business Process Automation, explained
Many teams still move information by hand: copying data between systems, chasing approvals by email and checking spreadsheets for errors. Business process automation replaces those manual steps with reliable workflows, so work moves forward without constant follow-up.
We map the process as it really happens, remove unnecessary steps and then automate with the simplest suitable tool, from workflow software and custom code to AI for unstructured inputs. Our portfolio includes a cloud platform for building and distributing forms across web and mobile apps, the kind of foundation many automation projects rely on, and a care management platform that automates timesheet approval, invoicing and pre-claim audit checks.
Before you build
Decisions worth settling first
Settling these points early keeps scope realistic and makes the estimate meaningful.
01
Current process
Document each step, who performs it, systems used and where delays happen.
02
Volume and variation
Measure how often the process runs and how many exceptions occur.
03
Systems and access
Confirm APIs or integration options for each system involved.
04
Approval rules
Write down who approves what, thresholds and escalation paths.
05
Exceptions
Decide how unusual cases reach a person and how they are resolved.
06
Success measures
Choose measures such as cycle time, error rate and hours saved.

Engineers who build
Recommendations come from the people who design, code and support the software, so they reflect real implementation effort.
Visible progress
A shared backlog, regular demos and recorded decisions keep you informed without chasing updates.
Practical AI
Evaluation sets, review steps, cost limits and monitoring are part of every AI feature we ship.
Flexible engagement
Start with a scoped project, a dedicated team or support, and change the model as your roadmap evolves.
Clear ownership
Repositories and accounts can live in your organisation, with IP and confidentiality terms agreed in the contract.

Cost
What shapes the cost of your project?
There is no useful price without scope. These are the factors we review when preparing an estimate, and the estimate lists every assumption so you can see what would change it.
01
Number of workflows
Each workflow needs its own prompts, tools, evaluation set and review design.
02
Data preparation
Cleaning, labelling, chunking and access rules often take more effort than the model itself.
03
Integrations
Connections to CRMs, ERPs, document stores and identity providers add design and testing work.
04
Evaluation and review
Building test sets, review queues and monitoring is essential for reliable results.
05
Model and hosting
Hosted APIs, open models and private deployment have very different setup and running costs.
06
Security and compliance
Sensitive data, audit needs and data residency add controls and documentation.
Engagement models
Choose the engagement that fits your next step.
Dedicated Team
For a changing roadmap or ongoing development. Agree roles and working process, then manage priorities through a shared backlog.
Best for team extension and long-term product work.
Scoped Project
For a defined product or milestone. Align on requirements, deliverables and acceptance criteria, with changes reviewed before they affect the plan.
Best for MVPs, integrations and focused releases.
Maintenance and Improvement
For software that already exists. Start with a technical review, then agree support routines and planned improvements.
Best for live applications and modernisation.
FAQ
Questions about business process automation
Do we need AI for automation?
Often not. Many processes are best automated with clear rules. We add AI only where inputs are unstructured or judgement is needed.
Can you work with our existing tools?
Yes. We integrate with common platforms and build custom connectors where needed.
Should we use low-code tools or custom software?
Low-code works well for simpler workflows; custom software suits complex rules, scale or unique requirements. We recommend based on your case.
How do you handle exceptions?
Exceptions are routed to the right person with context, and patterns are reviewed to improve the workflow.
How quickly can we automate a process?
Simple workflows can be automated quickly; processes with many systems and rules take longer. We estimate after mapping.
Will our team be able to change the workflow later?
We design configurable rules and provide documentation and training where possible.
Can we begin with a focused scope?
Yes. We can review your current situation and agree a bounded first engagement before a wider build.
How are pricing and timelines determined?
We review requirements, technical complexity, team needs and delivery constraints before proposing an engagement. Estimates list assumptions and what may change the plan.
Can we discuss a project under an NDA?
Yes. Let us know before sharing confidential materials so we can agree confidentiality terms first.
