01 Apps & Automation
Business automation that gets you off spreadsheets
Get your operations onto one connected system — so your team stops re-keying data, nothing falls through the cracks, and you can actually see what's going on.
Who this is for
- Growing businesses (roughly 10–100 staff) running on spreadsheets and disconnected tools.
- Businesses that need a custom app — internal tool or customer-facing — that off-the-shelf software can’t deliver.
- Companies that want ERP without the cost and bloat of an enterprise rollout.
The pain we hear
- “The same data gets entered three times in three systems.”
- “Our process lives in one person’s head.”
- “Nothing talks to anything — accounting, sales, support, the website are all separate islands.”
- “We’re growing, but we’re drowning in manual work.”
What we do
- ERP implementation (ERPNext / Frappe) — accounting, inventory, sales, purchasing, projects, HR — configured to how you actually work, not how the software assumes you do.
- Custom apps — web and mobile, internal and customer-facing, built on modern, well-supported stacks.
- Workflow automation — kill the repetitive manual steps; let the system do the busywork.
- Integrations — connect your tools: accounting (Tally, Xero, MYOB), payments, comms, ITSM (Jira), and anything with an API.
- Customer & operations portals — give customers and staff a single place to do their work.
Proof
- A customer utility portal and an IT change-control (ITSM) system for a US operations company — replacing manual, email-driven processes.
- ERPNext rollouts for B2B manufacturers and distributors — quotation management, CRM, inventory, and accounting integration.
- An end-to-end booking & venue platform — mobile apps + web portal + ERP sync.
How we package it
- Audit — Operations & Automation Audit: we map your processes and hand back an ROI-ranked automation plan. Fixed scope.
- Build — implementation or custom build, delivered in clear stages.
- Run — ongoing support and improvement retainer (your “fractional operations team”).
Common questions
Why ERPNext and not SAP / NetSuite / Odoo? ERPNext gives SMBs genuine enterprise capability without per-seat licensing or lock-in, and it’s fully customisable. Where another platform genuinely fits better, we’ll tell you.
Can you work with our existing tools? Usually yes — integration is often a better first step than replacement.
