Automation in the East Midlands

Business process automation across the East Midlands.

We are based in Chesterfield and work with businesses across the region — Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Mansfield, Sheffield and the towns between. Every project is fixed-price and scoped within 48 hours of the first call.

Almost everywhere in the region is inside an hour's drive, so the kickoff happens in your building rather than over video — included, with no travel charge.

£1,500

Fixed fee, credited in full against your build if you proceed within 60 days. In-person kickoff included anywhere in the East Midlands.

The regional picture

An economy of mid-sized firms that have outgrown their processes.

The East Midlands has proportionally more manufacturing and logistics than most UK regions and fewer head offices. That means a lot of 10–100 person firms running real operations on software that was chosen one tool at a time, with a person in the middle holding it together.

Manufacturing & engineering

The region’s backbone, from Rolls-Royce suppliers around Derby to specialist engineering across Chesterfield and the Amber Valley. Shop-floor data rarely reaches the back office without someone re-typing it. Stock, scheduling, supplier ordering and reporting are the usual first wins.

Logistics & distribution

The M1 corridor and Markham Vale have made distribution one of the region’s biggest employers. Job allocation, driver comms, proof of delivery and customer updates are almost always handled by a person watching a screen — and almost always shouldn’t be.

Professional services

Accountants, solicitors, consultancies and agencies across Derby, Nottingham and Chesterfield, typically running on a CRM, an accounts package and email that were never introduced to each other. Client onboarding, document chasing and deadline reminders pay back fastest.

Common questions

About working with us in the region.

Which East Midlands towns and cities do you cover?+

We are based in Chesterfield and work across the whole region: Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Mansfield, Sheffield, Worksop, Alfreton, Loughborough, Newark, Burton upon Trent and everywhere between. Most are within an hour’s drive, so an in-person kickoff is straightforward. We also work remotely with clients anywhere in the UK.

Do you charge for travel within the East Midlands?+

No. The two-hour kickoff session for a Process Audit is included in the £1,500 fixed fee, and travel anywhere in the East Midlands is included with it. There is no separate mileage or day rate.

Do I have to be in the East Midlands to work with you?+

No — most of our clients are not local, and discovery calls, audits and builds all run remotely by default. Being nearby simply means we can do the kickoff face to face rather than over video, which usually produces a better audit because we can watch the process rather than hear it described.

What size of East Midlands business do you usually work with?+

Typically 5–200 staff, with most between 10 and 50. The work starts making sense once there are repeated processes and at least one person whose day involves moving information between systems.

How quickly can you start in the East Midlands?+

Discovery calls are usually within five working days. A Process Audit runs one to two weeks. Builds start within about two weeks of a signed quote and typically deliver in two to six weeks depending on scope.
