From manual chaos to rand-tracked automation in 90 days
We're a South African automation studio for operations teams, IT teams, and founders who are tired of paying for tools that don't talk to each other. Every workflow we build is measured in rand saved, not features shipped.
Recognise at least one? Most SA businesses lose time and money to the same four problems.
If your operations feel busy but your margins don't, you're not alone. Here's what we keep finding when we audit South African SMEs.
Slow replies, missed leads, zero tracking
Your team answers the same WhatsApp questions all day. Leads sit in inboxes for hours. Nobody can tell you which channel actually closes deals.
Hardware that collects data nobody can see
Sensors, meters, gates, fridges, generators — all generating telemetry that lives on islands. No cloud, no dashboard, no alerting, no decisions.
AWS & Azure bills growing faster than profit
You're paying for capacity you don't need, in dollars, while the rand weakens. Most SA workloads can move to Hetzner or right-sized infrastructure for 40–70% less.
Legacy tools that can't talk to each other
Every new SaaS adds complexity instead of speed. Operations staff become human glue, copying data between Pastel, HubSpot, Excel, and a Google Drive folder nobody trusts.
See what 90 days of automation could return to your business
Move the sliders. Pick a project size. The calculator uses conservative assumptions (65% reduction on automatable hours, 4.33 weeks/month) so you can pressure-test the number with your CFO.
Indicative model only. Real engagements start with a free audit; final scope is priced after we identify 3–5 quick wins with measurable, rand-tracked ROI.
Eight productized services. Every one priced and measured in rand.
No mystery scopes. Each service has a fixed shape, a published price band, and an outcome we'll commit to in writing.
WhatsApp AI Agents
Always-on agents that triage, qualify, and close on the channel your customers already use. Built on the official WhatsApp Cloud API with full audit logs.
Workflow Automation
We replace copy-paste, spreadsheet-emailing, and screenshot-pinging with reliable automated flows that pass data between every system you already pay for.
n8n Template Builds
Production-grade n8n workflows with retries, error handling, idempotency, and observability — not the demo-day spaghetti you find on YouTube.
IoT Dashboards & Sensors
From the ESP32 on the wall to the dashboard on the boss’s phone. We build the full path: device → gateway → time-series DB → alerts.
Cloud Cost Optimization
We audit your AWS, Azure, GCP, or self-hosted footprint and migrate the right workloads to Hetzner — keeping the workloads that need US/EU regions where they are.
Custom AI Agents
Domain-specific agents trained on your SOPs, product catalogue, and policies — running on the LLM that fits your privacy and budget profile (cloud or local).
Data Pipelines
Reliable extract-transform-load between Pastel/Sage/Xero, HubSpot/Pipedrive, and your warehouse — so finance and ops finally see the same numbers.
Automation Audit
A two-week deep-dive that maps every workflow, identifies 3–5 quick wins with measurable rand-impact, and gives you a staged 90-day plan you own outright.
Four clear stages. No jargon. You'll see what we're building and why — at every step.
Audit
We map your workflows, tools, and pain points. You leave the audit with 3–5 quick wins and a clear ROI estimate per win.
Plan
A staged automation plan that works with your existing systems — not against them. Sequenced by ROI and risk.
Build
We build, deploy, test, and hand over: WhatsApp bots, IoT sensors, n8n flows, Python services, or cloud infra.
Track
We track results in rand, remove bottlenecks, and scale what’s working. Every rand of ROI is accounted for.
What 90 days looks like in rand
Every figure below is from a real engagement. Names are anonymised because most of our clients don't want to advertise that their margins just improved.
The WhatsApp triage bot answered 78% of inbound messages without a human touching them. Our two-person ops team got their afternoons back.
We were paying R96k/month for cloud. After right-sizing and a Hetzner migration for the workloads that didn't need US regions, we're at R31k. Same performance, more headroom.
50 ESP32 sensors across the cold-chain, one dashboard, alerts on Telegram. We caught a freezer failure at 2am — saved roughly R220k of stock.
Invoice follow-ups used to live in someone's head. Now they're an n8n flow that nudges customers on WhatsApp at day 7, 14, 30. Days-sales-outstanding dropped from 52 to 31.
The questions every SA founder asks us
Why 90 days? That sounds aggressive.
Do you replace our existing tools?
What about POPIA and data sovereignty?
Can we own the code and workflows?
Do you do AI agents that hallucinate less?
What does pricing actually look like?
One free audit. Three real quick wins. No long proposal.
Pick a 30-minute slot. We'll show you exactly where the rand is leaking and what we'd build first.
