Based in Chesterfield, we build AI agents and automation systems for businesses across Derbyshire — from Derby in the south to Glossop and Buxton in the High Peak. Every project is fixed-price, scoped within 48 hours of your first call.
We come to you. In-person kickoff at no extra charge anywhere in Derbyshire — typical drive time under an hour from Chesterfield.
Process Audit
£1,500
Fixed fee. Credited in full against your build if you proceed within 60 days. In-person kickoff at no extra charge for Derbyshire clients.
See Audit DetailsDerbyshire's economy is a mix that suits automation work well: precision engineering and manufacturing in and around Derby, distribution and logistics through the M1 corridor, hospitality and tourism across the Peak District, and a long tail of SMEs in Chesterfield, Belper, Ripley, and Buxton. The common thread we see is the same: small ops teams under pressure, manual data passing between systems that don't talk, and a sense that something should be automatable but no clear plan for which thing first. That's exactly the gap our Process Audit fills.
Areas We Cover
Not listed? We work across the wider East Midlands — call to confirm.
Derbyshire's manufacturing base — from Rolls-Royce suppliers in Derby to specialist engineering across Chesterfield and the Amber Valley — typically has scattered shop-floor data and manual back-office handoffs. We automate stock, scheduling, supplier integrations, and reporting.
Peak District operators (hotels, holiday lets, attractions, food and drink venues) lose hours every week on bookings, supplier ordering, payroll, and review-management. Common automation wins: unified booking-to-finance flow, automated supplier reordering, AI-driven review summaries.
Chesterfield, Derby, and Belper SMEs running on a stack of unrelated tools — CRM here, accounts there, email everywhere — get the fastest ROI from integration work. Onboarding flows, document automation, and AI agents that handle inbound enquiries are typical.
We don't sell software subscriptions or retainer hours. We scope your problem, build the solution, and hand you something that runs without you. Fixed prices, fixed scope.

Chesterfield — about 5 minutes off the M1 (J29). We're set up to drive to clients across the county for kickoff sessions at no extra charge.
Yes. The 2-hour kickoff session for the Process Audit is included in the £1,500 fixed fee — and travel within Derbyshire (Derby, Buxton, Matlock, Belper, Ripley, etc.) is included with no extra charge.
Most of our clients are 5–50 staff. The audit makes sense once you have identifiable repeated processes — usually that means at least one full-time person whose job involves passing data between systems.
Discovery calls are usually within 5 working days. The Process Audit takes 1–2 weeks. Build projects start within 2 weeks of a signed quote and typically deliver in 2–6 weeks depending on scope.
No — most of our work is delivered remotely. The local proximity just means we can do the kickoff in person rather than over video, which usually gives a better Process Audit result.
Pick a slot below. We'll talk through your business, identify where there's a clear automation opportunity, and tell you honestly whether the Process Audit is the right next step. Derbyshire clients get an in-person kickoff at no extra charge.
