Where the week goes

Four leaks. About 23 hours a week.

Almost every business we walk into is losing time in the same four places. The work repeats, it doesn't require judgement, and nobody enjoys doing it.

Manual collection & entry

Pulling numbers out of emails, portals and spreadsheets and typing them somewhere else. Every day. Slow, error-prone, entirely avoidable.

~8hper week

The same email, again

Follow-ups, confirmations, status updates, chase-ups. They all say roughly the same thing every time. They should not be typed by a person.

~5hper week

Monday's report, from scratch

Someone assembles a report that looks exactly like last week's. The data sits in three places. It takes half a day. It does this fifty times a year.

~4hper week

Five tools, no single truth

Numbers live in Excel, email, WhatsApp and two other apps, and someone spends their morning keeping them in agreement with each other.

~6hper week

23 hours a week is not a productivity problem. It's a payroll line.

Across a four-person team at a €30/hour loaded cost, that's roughly €36,000 a year spent on copy-paste. Illustrative — on the first call we run the same arithmetic with your real numbers.

The shift

From busy to productive.

Nothing gets ripped out. The same tools, the same people — the repetitive half of the job simply stops needing a human.

The process

Three steps. First results in 30 days.

We don't arrive with a finished solution and a twelve-month contract. We start by watching how your team actually works, then build only what earns its keep.

Step 01

We listen & map

A conversation about how the work really moves through your business — not the org chart, the actual day. We find the tasks that repeat, put hours against them, and show you which ones are worth automating first.

Workflow mapRanked automation shortlistHours-saved estimate
Step 02

We build & connect

We build the automations and wire them into the tools your team already opens every morning — email, CRM, Slack, spreadsheets, WhatsApp. No new platform to log into. No disruption while we work.

Live automationsConnected tool stackTeam walkthrough & handover
Step 03

We run & grow

Automations break when the business around them changes. We monitor what's running, fix what drifts, add new workflows as they surface, and send one monthly page showing exactly how many hours came back.

Monitoring & fixesNew workflows monthlyHours-recovered report

What we build

Six things we get asked for most.

Every engagement is some combination of these. What changes is the order, not the ingredients.

Workflow automation

Quotes, follow-ups, handovers, reminders, approvals. The steps that repeat get triggered by events instead of by people remembering.

Custom internal tools

When nothing off the shelf fits the way you work, we build the small, focused app your team needs — and nothing else.

Assistants trained on your business

Answers drawn from your documents, your pricing and your tone of voice — not from the open internet. Useful on day one because it already knows your context.

Reporting that builds itself

Numbers pulled from every source you use, reconciled, laid out the way you like to read them, and delivered on a schedule you set once.

Document & data processing

Invoices, contracts, forms, order confirmations — read, extracted, checked, filed and pushed into the system that needs them.

Training & enablement

Your people learn the workflows we built and how to push them further. The goal is that nothing important depends on us being reachable.

Real builds

What we've built for businesses like yours.

Both of these started as a thirty-minute conversation about where the week was going.

Auto & import

Days of auction browsing, cut to a ten-minute review

The problem

A car importer spent the best part of every week manually browsing auction platforms, filtering by model, year, mileage and condition, trying not to miss the cars worth bidding on.

What we built

A scraping engine that sweeps every major auction platform against his exact buying criteria and delivers one curated weekly shortlist — each vehicle scored, with a direct bid link.

From days of manual searching to a ten-minute weekly review.

Month-end close went from two days to automatic

The problem

Therapist sessions, attendance and billing all lived in spreadsheets. Closing the month meant one person reconciling everything by hand — two days of work, and errors that surfaced weeks later.

What we built

A central platform where each therapist logs their own sessions as they happen. Attendance, billing and the month-end close all run off that single record, on schedule, without anyone assembling it.

Two days of month-end reconciliation, now zero.

Straight answers

The questions we get on every first call.

How fast do we actually see something working?
The audit takes one to two weeks. The first automation is usually live within 30 days of signing — and it's deliberately one you'll notice, so the value is obvious before the invoice is due.
Do we have to replace the tools we already use?
No. That's the whole approach. We connect to what you already run on — Gmail or Outlook, your CRM, spreadsheets, Slack, WhatsApp — and automate around it. If a tool genuinely can't do the job we'll say so, but we don't migrate you for the sake of it.
Who owns the licences, the automations and the data?
You do. You buy AI tool subscriptions directly from the vendors at their list price — we never resell software or take a margin on it. The automations, assistants and documentation we build are yours to keep, including if you stop working with us.
What does it cost?
It depends on how many workflows are in scope and how many systems have to talk to each other, so we quote per engagement rather than publishing a list price. What we can tell you early: the audit is a fixed fee, and we'll walk away from an automation whose build cost won't be back inside a year.
Our data is sensitive. How do you handle it?
We work under a signed NDA and a data processing agreement, we build inside your own accounts and tenancies wherever possible, and we scope what a workflow can reach to the minimum it needs. Where regulation requires it, we keep processing inside the EU. Read more on the about page.
Are you only working with businesses in Portugal?
We're based in Lisbon and most of our work is Portuguese, but the delivery is remote-first and we work across Europe. Discovery, training and support all run fine over video.
