Automation · Sheffield

The admin your Sheffield team does by hand, built out of the business. Thirty minutes from S1.

We are based in Chesterfield, close enough to Sheffield that in-person kickoffs happen the same day if you need them. Tell us the job someone does every day by hand and we will price it and build the thing that does it instead. Every project is fixed-price, scoped within 48 hours.

Same-day on-site kickoff possible across S1–S35. Typical door-to-door from our base is 30 minutes via the M1 or A61.

Who we build for
We build automation for Sheffield businesses of roughly five to fifty staff across S1 to S35.
What we take off people
We take the daily admin off a person: re-typing between a CRM and an accounting system such as Xero or Sage, chasing quotes and timesheets, and the morning check somebody does before the real work starts.
What it costs to start
Our fixed prices start at £300 for a chatbot and £500 for a single automation; a whole process built end to end starts at £3,000, and the written Process Audit is £1,500, credited against a custom build.
Where we are
We are based in Chesterfield, about thirty minutes from S1, so same-day on-site kickoffs in Sheffield are straightforward.

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 Sheffield clients.

Why local matters

Built locally, for Sheffield businesses.

Sheffield's economy is unusually well-suited to automation work. The advanced-manufacturing cluster around the AMRC, Tata Steel R&D, and the Sheffield Technology Parks runs on a deep stack of legacy and modern systems that rarely talk to each other natively. Healthcare and life sciences (Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, the Children's Hospital, Sheffield Hallam research) run on similar challenges at a different scale. And the city's growing professional-services sector — from creative agencies in Kelham Island to fintech and SaaS startups — typically has lean ops teams that can't afford full-time integration engineers.

Where the hours usually go

Where automation typically pays back for Sheffield businesses.

Advanced Manufacturing

Sheffield's specialist engineering and steel-derived manufacturing sector — including AMRC supply chain, aerospace contractors, and precision metalwork — generates more shop-floor data than most have a way to use. Automation wins: production reporting, quality data pipelines, supplier integrations, schedule optimisation.

Healthcare & MedTech

Hospital trusts, dental groups, private clinics, and MedTech startups in Sheffield typically run a patchwork of clinical, finance, and patient-comms systems. Typical candidates: appointment-to-finance automation, AI-summarised clinical communications, regulated-data pipeline work.

Professional Services & Tech

Creative agencies, SaaS startups, accounting practices, and recruitment firms in Sheffield are usually the fastest-ROI category. Inbound-enquiry triage, AI-drafted client comms, finance automation, and document workflows are typical first projects.

What we build

The jobs we take off a payroll, and the systems that do them instead.

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.

Common questions

About working with us in Sheffield.

Are you based in Sheffield?+

No — we're based in Chesterfield, about 30 minutes south via the M1 or A61. Close enough that we treat Sheffield clients as effectively local: same-day on-site visits, no travel charge.

Do you work with Sheffield manufacturers?+

Not yet — our live case studies are in field services, property data and subscription platforms, and they are linked on the homepage. The manufacturing problems are the same shape: production data, scheduling, quality reporting, and supplier integration. The Process Audit is especially useful here because manufacturing automation has a wide range of options — the audit narrows it to what's actually highest-ROI for your specific operation.

What does it cost to work with you from Sheffield?+

Same as anywhere else. Process Audit £1,500 fixed (credited against build). One job on its own starts at £300; a whole process rebuilt is a custom build from £3,000. Multi-agent or full-platform builds start at £8,000. No travel surcharge for Sheffield.

Can you visit our Sheffield office?+

Yes — we strongly prefer to. The 2-hour Process Audit kickoff in person almost always produces a better result than a video call, because we get to see the actual workflows, the spreadsheets people are working from, and the systems that aren't talking to each other.

How quickly can you start work for a Sheffield client?+

Discovery calls are usually within 5 working days of enquiry. The Process Audit takes 1–2 weeks. Build projects start within 2 weeks of a signed quote.

Tell us about the job

You don't need a technical plan. Describe what your team does now and what you'd like to happen instead, in your own words. We reply within 24 hours.

A useful first message answers four things:

  1. What does someone on your team do by hand at the moment?
  2. Which software does it involve? Email, spreadsheets, your accounts package — whatever you use.
  3. What would you like to happen on its own instead?
  4. What should a person still check before it goes out?

No mailing list. We won't email you unless you email us first.

We don't take subcontract, white-label or overflow work, and we don't buy SEO, backlinks, reviews or lead lists. If you're selling something, pick the last option under “Your role” and we'll know straight away.
