📋

Your team copies data between systems that don't talk

CRM, spreadsheet, email, WhatsApp, ERP. Someone is manually bridging the gaps every single day. That's salary spent on data entry.

⏱️

Reporting takes hours that should take minutes

Pulling numbers from four different places, formatting a spreadsheet, sending it manually — every week. Automatable in a day.

📈

You're scaling but can't hire fast enough

Headcount is expensive and slow to ramp. The right automation means your existing team handles two or three times the volume without burning out.

What We Build

The right automation
for your business.

We don't sell software subscriptions or retainer hours. We scope the problem, build the solution, and hand you something that runs without you.

01

AI Agent Development

Agents that monitor, decide, and act autonomously — pulling data, triggering actions, escalating only when a human is genuinely needed. Integrated into your existing tools, not bolted on top.

Most requested

02

Process Automation

We map where your team's time actually goes, identify the high-value targets, and automate end-to-end. Data entry, approvals, reporting, notifications — eliminated.

Fastest ROI

03

Data Pipeline Engineering

Automated collection, cleaning, and delivery of data from any source — web, APIs, documents, emails — into wherever your team needs it, on a schedule, without touching it.

04

Custom Integrations

Connect the tools you already use. CRM, ERP, WhatsApp, Slack, calendar, payment systems — we build the bridges so your software communicates without manual input.

05

Communication Automation

Email sequences, multi-channel notifications, scheduled reporting, client updates — automated and personalised without anyone touching a template or copy-pasting an address.

Field Services · Multi-Tenant SaaS

WhatsApp Job Dispatch Platform

A field service business coordinated workers manually across WhatsApp groups and phone calls — dispatchers chasing workers, payments handled by phone. We replaced the entire process with an automated multi-tenant dispatch platform. Jobs broadcast, workers apply, payments claimed race-safe, client confirmed. The coordinator's manual workload: zero.

Data Intelligence · Predictive Analytics

End-to-End Predictive Data Pipeline

A data-intensive operation needed 6 live sources scraped daily, run through 7 ML prediction models, results reconciled nightly, and insights distributed automatically to subscriber lists. We built the entire stack. It runs at 2am every day without anyone touching it.

UK Planning Application Monitor

A property intelligence client needed daily coverage of planning applications across England. Previously a full day of manual council website trawling. We automated scraping across 97% of London boroughs and built a live dashboard with alerts. Nobody has to check a council website anymore.

About

Built by someone who has actually built it.

The Automation Agency is a UK-based consultancy run by a developer with over a decade of building real production systems — automation stacks, ML pipelines, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, AI agents, and data infrastructure across multiple industries.

Not a consultant who reads about AI. Someone who writes the code, ships it to production, and keeps it running. If you ask what stack we'd use for your project, we'll tell you exactly — and show you something we've already built with it.

Based in Derbyshire, working with clients across the UK.
