Community-Centric Automation

Our goal is to make automation tools available to every organisation—not just the biggest players. That’s why we:

  • Offer affordable automation packages for charities, CICs, youth groups, and local campaigns.
  • Run group training sessions to build digital literacy and confidence around automated systems.
  • Help map out solutions that save time and reduce admin for overstretched community teams.
  • Share bulk-use templates and co-created workflows that benefit multiple organisations in our network.

We’ve seen firsthand how automating even a handful of tasks can unlock time, reduce human error, and give small teams the breathing space they need to grow and serve their communities better.

Let’s make your business thrive together.

FAQs

What is data automation, and how can it help our organisation?

Data automation replaces repetitive manual tasks—like updating spreadsheets or copying information between systems—with streamlined workflows. This saves time, reduces errors, and helps your team stay focused on delivery instead of admin.

We’re not a tech-savvy team—can we still use automation?

Absolutely. We design solutions that are simple to use and offer full training and support. Most of our clients are charities and small businesses without in-house IT teams.

What systems and platforms can you integrate with?

We work with a wide range of tools including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Xero, QuickBooks, Mailchimp, Airtable, Trello, CRM systems, booking platforms, and more. If your tool has an API or export function, we can likely connect it.

Can you help us build reports and dashboards?

Yes. We can automate reporting with visual dashboards that pull in real-time data, helping you track KPIs, funding outcomes, client progress, or service impact.

How much does automation cost?

We offer accessible pricing for SMEs and heavily discounted packages for charities, CICs, and education partners. We also run shared automation days to reduce costs further through collaborative setup.

Do we need to buy new software or subscriptions?

Not necessarily. We aim to work with the tools you already use, improving efficiency without additional platform costs unless absolutely required.

What happens if something breaks or stops working?

We monitor performance, offer support packages, and provide simple fallback systems so your team can work confidently even if a link in the chain needs fixing.

Can you help us clean and structure our existing data first?

Yes. We start many projects with a data audit and cleansing phase to ensure your information is accurate and ready to be automated.

Do you run training sessions for staff and volunteers?

We regularly deliver group and 1-to-1 training, both online and in-person, to build confidence and ensure your team gets the most from your new systems.
