Automation Sprint

One workflow, automated. Fixed price from $750.

Today someone copies the same details between tools and chases the next person, every week. We automate that one workflow so it runs on its own: a payment arrives and the new client is set up, filed and welcomed.

  • 50% to start, 50% on sign-off
  • Live in about 1–3 weeks
  • You own the workflow

What one workflow looks like

Most sprints start from a handoff someone on your team repeats every week. A few we build often:

  1. Request arrives

    Outlook · SharePoint · Teams

    Today: Requests sit in a shared mailbox while someone forwards them, files attachments and chases what is missing.

    Each request becomes a record with its documents filed and a named owner.

    If something is missing: Incomplete requests are sent back for the missing details, and escalated if no one picks them up.

  2. Job approved

    Your CRM or tracker · QuickBooks or Xero

    Today: Someone re-keys job details into accounting and finds missing customer details at invoice time.

    Approved job data becomes an invoice ready for review, not a re-typing job.

    If something is missing: Mismatched customer or product details go to a named owner instead of being posted.

  3. Client signs

    DocuSign or PandaDoc · monday.com or ClickUp

    Today: The signed deal is announced in chat and delivery spends days chasing the details to start.

    The project is created from your template with an owner and the kickoff details.

    If something is missing: If a deposit or required document is missing, the project waits and its owner is told.

Built with the tools you already use

Connect the apps your team already works in. One recurring handoff becomes a workflow with clear rules and an owner.

Before you reach out

Is this right for you?

A sprint is for one business process with a clear trigger, a few systems and an owner on your side.

Yes, this is for you

  • One repetitive workflow your team does by hand every week
  • Teams on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, with a CRM, project or accounting tool such as HubSpot, Pipedrive, monday.com or QuickBooks
  • AI connected to your real workflow (classify, extract, draft or score), with review where needed
  • Someone on your side who can test it with us

Not this. Go here instead

Three fixed price tiers

The scoping call places your workflow in a tier. The price is then fixed in writing before we start.

Starter

$750fixed

One simple workflow, about a week.

Choose this when someone on your team checks the results and handles any failed run.

  • 1 trigger, up to 3 apps
  • Failure alertsYou hear about a failed run instead of finding out from a customer
  • Tested against agreed casesSigned off on your real examples, not a demo
  • Handover walkthroughYour team knows what it does and where it lives
  • 14 days of defect fixesAnything that fails the agreed checklist after go-live
Most chosen

Production

$1,500fixed

Built to run unattended.

Choose this when the business relies on it: retries, alerts and a run log handle failed runs without anyone watching.

  • Everything in Starter
  • Retries and duplicate protectionA brief outage recovers on its own, without double records
  • A run log your team can readSee what happened to any record, without asking us
  • Written documentationSomeone on your side can run and change it
  • 2 weeks of stabilizationWe watch live runs and fix what real traffic finds, not only reproducible defects

Complex

from $2,500quoted

Still one business process, built as several connected workflows.

Choose this when the process needs several linked workflows, an AI step or a system with no ready-made connector.

  • Everything in Production
  • AI step with guardrailsOutput is checked before it reaches a customer or a record
  • Custom API or linked workflowsFor systems with no ready-made connector

The number of apps alone doesn’t decide the tier. Branching logic, data that needs cleaning first, or an unreliable API push a workflow up.

  • 50% to start, 50% when you sign off against the checklist
  • Runs in your accounts; you own the workflow and its documentation
  • Tool subscriptions and API usage are billed to your accounts, with no markup
Full terms
  • Price, scope and acceptance checklist confirmed in writing after the scoping call
  • The timeline starts once scope is signed, the first payment is in and we have access
  • Anything outside the written scope is quoted before we do it, never added silently
  • Hosting, where a workflow needs it, is also billed to your accounts

Questions, answered

The things buyers ask us before they start.

Still have a question?

Ask us directly. Reply within 4 working hours; enquiries after hours are answered the next working morning (Pakistan time).

  1. A clear decision, even if you never buy. In 30 minutes we tell you whether a sprint fits, which tier it is, and what access we will need. If it fits, you get a written scope, a fixed price and the acceptance checklist afterwards.

Need an app or portal, not one workflow?

A product with users and screens is a first release. MVP Build scopes, builds and launches it at a fixed quote.

Tell us the one workflow your team still does by hand

Every week it stays manual costs the same hours again. In 30 minutes we tell you if it fits, which tier it is and what we need, then send a fixed price in writing.
