Process automation for small businesses

I'm a software engineer. I find the repetitive, manual work in your business — data re-typed between apps, the report rebuilt every month, the follow-ups nobody makes — and build systems that handle it.

What I typically automate

The double-entry tax

The invoice details you type in twice. The same customer details, keyed into three different apps by hand. That's time that should go to real work, not data entry.

The job nobody wants to do

There's one admin task that eats someone's whole day, every week. That's usually the first thing worth automating.

The apps that don't talk

Your job software doesn't talk to your accounting software, so someone bridges the gap by hand. I connect them.

The follow-up that never happens

Quotes go out and nobody chases them, so the work goes cold. I make the follow-up happen on its own.

What actually changes

Same tools. Same steps. The difference is who does the joining up.

Doing it by hand

You're the link between every system

Tools joined by hand Job software, accounting, spreadsheets and email, with a person standing on every connection between them, moving the information across by hand. One connection never happens at all, and work has to be chased up again. never happens Job software Accounting Spreadsheets Email chased up again

Automated

The same tools, talking to each other

Built around the tools you already use

What I build is real code, shaped around how your business actually works — connecting the tools you already pay for rather than replacing them. No rip-and-replace, and nothing new for your team to learn.

    A fixed-price system that kills the manual work. You know the number before I start.

Who you're dealing with

I'm Rhys — a software engineer who spent years building systems for one of Australia's major banks, now helping small businesses automate the manual work that slows them down. Real code, built for your business, by the person who'll actually be doing the work.

Need a website before any of this? I build and host those too.

What you can expect

Fixed price, up front

You'll never get an open-ended bill.

No lock-in

The system is yours.

Honest advice

If automating something isn't worth it, I'll tell you.
