Half an hour, and you walk away knowing the three jobs worth automating first and what each gives you back in hours. If none of it is useful, your first build is free.
The owners I work with are flat out, not quiet. The money going missing is not in the work itself, it is in the gaps around it: the call that rang out, the quote that never got chased, the hour each night spent re-keying the same job into three apps. I find those gaps and close them with automation that runs on the software you already pay for.
Catch the calls you paid for
Every call that hits voicemail is a customer dialling the next business on Google, one you already spent money to reach. An AI receptionist picks up on the first ring, any hour, answers the usual questions and books the job into your calendar. The enquiries you pay to generate become booked work instead of missed numbers.
Chase every quote on autopilot
Most of your revenue is already sitting in quotes nobody has had time to ring back. Deals usually need four or five nudges, which is right where a busy team runs out of hours. Quotes, enquiries and gone-quiet customers get followed up on a schedule, so the work you have already won stops slipping away.
See where you actually stand
Guessing from your bank balance is how a flat month hides behind a busy one. Jobs, sales and cashflow land in one live dashboard, next to what each automation has saved or earned you, so your next call is based on the real figure instead of a hunch.
Half an hour with me, the person who would build it, not a rep reading a script. We go through where your week disappears, which fix pays back fastest, and what it is worth to you in hours and dollars.
I only run a handful of these a month, since I sit on every call myself.
I am a mechatronics engineer (BE Hons, University of Auckland). Before this I was a control systems engineer at Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, writing the logic that ran automated production lines and 6-axis robots on the factory floor. I bring that same build-it-so-it-does-not-fail discipline to the automations I set up for New Zealand businesses.
LinkedInWhat is this going to cost me?
I price each build to the job, not off a rate card, so you get a real number after the free audit once we both know the scope. Most work is a one-off setup plus a small monthly fee for hosting and upkeep, and I only suggest building something when the time or revenue it wins back clearly beats what it costs.
Do I have to switch the software I run?
Almost never. I build on top of what you already use wherever I can, whether that is Fergus, Xero or a Google Sheet, and I check the connections during the audit. The point is to strip out manual steps, not to hand your team a brand new system to learn.
How soon will it be running?
It comes down to how many steps are involved and which systems they touch, so I scope a timeline for each job. For most builds you are looking at roughly one to three weeks from go-ahead to live.
Why not just buy a big automation platform?
Those platforms are built for companies with an IT team and a long runway. Here you deal with one engineer, choices get made in days rather than quarters, and the system is sized to a small New Zealand business instead of a sprawling tool you only ever use a corner of.
What happens once it is built?
You are not left on your own. Every build comes with hands-on training and written handover notes, and I stay on to support it, so when something needs adjusting or scaling it is sorted quickly by the person who already knows how it was put together.
No reps, no handoffs, no buzzwords. Just an honest read on whether automation is worth it for you.
My guarantee: leave with three ways to save time or win more work, or your first build is free.
