Services / Automation consultant

An automation consultant for workflows that keep running.

A business automation consultant for teams with too many manual steps, or too many half-working automations. We map the process, pick the right tool from Zapier, Make and n8n, build it, audit what you already have and monitor it, so nothing breaks quietly.

Sound familiar?

Automations nobody remembers building.

Most businesses already have automations. The problem is knowing which ones still work, who owns them and what they cost.

01

Zaps nobody owns.

Dozens of automations built by different people, with no list of what each one does.

02

Silent failures.

A workflow stopped weeks ago and nobody noticed until a customer did.

03

Bills that creep.

Task and operation counts climb every month, often on automations nobody uses.

04

Still done by hand.

The jobs that matter most are still copied between tools every week.

What you get

The right tool, built and watched.

We are not tied to one platform. We pick the tool that fits the job, the volume and the people who will look after it.

01 · Map

Process mapping.

Every step, exception and system written down with the people who do the work, before anything is built.

02 · Zapier

Zapier builds.

Quick, reliable automations for teams who want to see and edit them without a developer.

03 · Make

Make scenarios.

Visual scenarios for multi-step jobs, with branching, error handling and lower running costs at volume.

04 · n8n

n8n workflows.

Self-hosted or cloud n8n for complex logic, sensitive data or high volumes, where per-task pricing would hurt.

05 · Audit

Automation audits.

Every existing automation listed, checked against its run history and marked keep, rebuild or retire.

06 · Monitor

Monitoring and alerts.

Alerts when a run fails, a log of what ran and when, and documentation for every workflow.

How it works

Map, choose, then build.

Nothing goes live until it has run alongside the manual process and the output matches.

  1. 01

    Map the process

    We sit with the people doing the work and write down every step, exception and system.

  2. 02

    Choose the tool

    Zapier, Make or n8n, picked on volume, complexity, running cost and who will maintain it.

  3. 03

    Build and test

    Built and tested against real past data, with error handling from day one.

  4. 04

    Monitor and hand over

    Alerts, logs and documentation handed over, with a Partner plan if you want us to keep watching.

Case study

Automation audit · Marketing agency

56

56 automations audited, 8 retired, 9 rebuilt

A marketing agency had built up automations over the years with no clear owner. We audited each one by its run history, retired the unused ones and rebuilt the live ones in n8n, then added a daily broken-ad-link checker and overdue-invoice alerts in Slack.

  • 56 automations audited by run history
  • 8 unused automations retired
  • 9 live automations rebuilt in n8n
  • A daily broken-ad-link checker
  • Overdue-invoice alerts in Slack, with reminder and snooze buttons

Finds the work worth automating, chooses the right tool, builds it and makes sure it keeps running. We do all four, so you are not handed a plan and left to find a developer.

Zapier is quickest for simple jobs your team wants to edit themselves. Make handles multi-step scenarios at a lower cost per run. n8n suits complex logic, sensitive data and high volumes, and can be self-hosted. Many businesses use more than one.

Yes. We list every automation, check its run history and cost, and mark each one to keep, rebuild or retire. On one agency audit, 8 of 56 were retired and 9 were rebuilt in n8n.

Yes, where it saves money or removes limits. We rebuild in Make or n8n, run both side by side until the output matches, then switch over.

You get an alert with the failed step and the data that caused it, and every run is logged. On a Partner plan we pick it up and fix it.

This service is about automation itself: mapping processes, choosing tools, and building and maintaining workflows. Our AI automation service adds AI agents that read, draft and sort inside those workflows.
