AI automation: the hours lost between your systems, given back.
The same patterns run Manifold's renewal workflows in production
Hours a week returned to your team
Every automated action logged and reversible
Human sign-off wherever judgement matters
Somewhere in your business a person re-keys data from one system into another, drafts the same email shape forty times a week, or triages an inbox by hand. That is what business process and workflow automation means here: the copy-paste removed for good, with a person still in charge of the decisions.
- Automation of repetitive document, email and data-entry workflows
- Extraction from PDFs, invoices, forms and messages into your systems
- Draft-and-approve patterns: the machine writes, a human signs off
- Integration with the tools you already run, Microsoft 365 included
- Clear logging so you can see what the automation did and why
One document, start to finish. You are the checkpoint.
This is the shape of every automation we build: your documents feed a drafting step, and nothing ships without a human pressing approve. Send one through and see exactly where it stops.
One press sends a document through. It will stop at the checkpoint and wait for you.
The pause you just controlled ships in everything we build, alongside a manual override and a full audit trail, so you can see what an automation did, question it, and stop it.
How the copy-paste gets retired
Find
We map the repetitive flows and measure the hours they cost. The business case writes itself or it doesn't.
Automate
We build the flow with checkpoints where judgement matters, and test it against real historical cases.
Hand over
Your team sees every action it takes, and can pause or override any step.
What does the manual step cost? Your numbers, your maths.
Think of one repetitive task in your business, then move the sliders. This is plain multiplication, nothing more: we make no claim about what we would save until we have seen the process.
3 people × 4 hours a week is 12 hours a week. Counting 46 working weeks, that is roughly 552 hours a year on one task.
Put another way, at 7.5 hours a day that is roughly 74 full working days a year of someone's time. Still your numbers, still just division.
Whether an automation is worth building depends on what those hours cost you and what the build costs: that comparison, in writing, is what the scoping call is for.
Automation projects typically from £3,500.
Scoped on one call and fixed in writing before anything is built. If the maths says keep doing it by hand, you hear that instead.
We automate our own operations first: the same patterns we sell run Manifold's compliance and renewal workflows in production. Every automation ships with a manual override and a clear audit trail, because trust in an automated process comes from being able to see it, question it and stop it.
Before you automate anything
What if the automation gets something wrong?+
Every flow ships with a log of what it did and why, a manual override, and checkpoints where a human approves before anything irreversible happens.
Which tools can you automate?+
Anything with an API or a file format, and most of the Microsoft 365 estate: inboxes, spreadsheets, PDFs, CRMs and the copy-paste between them.
How quickly can an automation be live?+
It depends on the flow and the systems it touches, so we will not pluck a number from the air. The scoping call produces a fixed timeline in writing alongside the fixed price, and if a date you need is not achievable we tell you on that call rather than after work starts.
Name the job your team dreads. We'll price its removal.
- Name the chore. The copy-paste job that eats the week. Reply within one working day.
- Walk us through it once. With the consultant who would build the flow. We count the hours it costs as we go.
- Compare the figure to the hours. It arrives in writing. If the hours don't justify it, we tell you to keep doing it by hand.
