Grow your business without growing your headcount.

We work with your team to automate your processes one workflow at a time, freeing your people for the work that actually grows the business.

From $5k a month. One-month minimum. Cancel anytime.

Every week, someone in your business pulls together the same information they compiled last week. Quotes that need building from scratch. Invoices that need chasing. Reports that need writing.

It's not complex work. It's just slow, manual, and keeps landing on the people who should be spending their time with clients, delivering value and growing the business.

Each month, we work with your team to find where that work is slowing decisions, draining margin, tying up capital or creating risk, and we automate it one workflow at a time.

Your people get their time back for the work that actually matters. The business stops depending on any single person being available. And because everything runs on infrastructure you own, each month's improvements build on the last.

If that sounds like your business, we'd like to hear about it.

HOW IT WORKS

We work alongside your team,
one workflow at a time.

Each month starts with a week of focused work with your team. The new process goes live on Friday, then we refine it with your team over the rest of the month.

A single automation improvement loop
01.

Monthly improvement cycle

Our Automation Partner Retainer runs in monthly cycles. Each month combines a concentrated week of identifying and delivering improvements with ongoing feedback and refinement over the remaining weeks. Together, we agree on priorities and decide where to focus our efforts.

Multiple automation improvement loops operating together
02.

Improvement loop

Each improvement loop begins with two mornings on site, working with your key people to identify pain points and agree on the automations to tackle. We spend the remainder of the first week building, configuring and testing, with the agreed changes working by Friday.

Multiple improvement loops

Once delivered, automations become part of your team's day-to-day work. Over the following weeks, we gather feedback and refine them as needed. Depending on your priorities and the scope of work agreed, you can focus on a single improvement or have several improvements operating and evolving alongside one another.

WHAT IS A MONTHLY IMPROVEMENT CYCLE

We turn your time-consuming processes into simpler, repeatable ways of working.

Together with your team, we agree which processes are worth automating first. We remove the manual work, the time-consuming analysis and the copying of information between systems, and put the automation into use quickly.

Our Approach

Marginal Gains is the idea that many small improvements compound over time.

Marginal Gains, made famous by Sir Dave Brailsford from British Cycling, focuses on improving many small things by 1% rather than chasing dramatic change all at once. Instead of treating AI transformation as a one-off rollout, we work with your team over time to make steady 1% improvements across your business.

It fits how your team works.
01

It fits how your team works.

We sit with the people doing the job, see how they actually do it, and build the automation around that. Once it’s live, we keep improving it based on what they tell us.

You set the pace.
02

You set the pace.

Start with one automation, or run several at once. Your team takes on as much as the business can handle at the time, and you can step it up whenever you’re ready.

Each month compounds.
03

Each month compounds.

Each automation keeps running as the next one is added. After six months, you could have six or more working across your business.

You’re never locked in.
04

You’re never locked in.

Your automations, your data and the software they run on stay with you, whether you keep working with us or not. It’s all built on Ambulando, which is open source.

EXAMPLES OF WHAT WE AUTOMATE

Automation built around the processes costing your team the most time and money.

Each month, we start with the work where automation will make the clearest commercial difference. Examples include:

FINANCE & INVENTORY

Inventory Intelligence

Stock levels and sales are tracked continuously, so slow movers and low stock are flagged early. Reorders are based on actual demand, not a spreadsheet. Less cash on shelves, fewer stockouts.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Who is Automation Partner for?

Australian businesses of around 10 to 200 people where too much work still depends on manual handoffs, spreadsheets and people’s memory. We work most often with professional services, project-based and operations-heavy businesses.

What happens in the first month?

We begin with two mornings alongside the people doing the work, identify the pain points and agree what to automate first. We spend the rest of that week building, configuring and testing, with the agreed changes working by Friday. Over the following weeks, we gather feedback and refine them.

How do we decide what to automate first?

Together, we look for the work consuming the most time, slowing decisions, draining margin, tying up capital or creating risk. We agree the priority with your team and start where automation can make the clearest commercial difference.

How many automations can we work on at once?

You set the pace. You can begin with one automation or run several improvement loops at once. Your team takes on as much change as the business can comfortably handle, and you can increase the pace when you’re ready.

Will it work with the tools we already use?

Yes, in most cases. Ambulando connects to the software your team already uses, so automations can work from the same records your people do. If a tool cannot be connected or keeps getting in the way, we can build something that fits better.

Do we need technical people?

No. You know the work and we handle the technical setup. We need access to the people closest to each process so they can explain how it works, test what we build and tell us what needs improving.

What happens after the first month?

Keep going month to month, add more time to move faster, or stop. Each month builds on what is already working, but there are no long contracts and the minimum commitment is one month.

Who owns the automations and our data?

You do. Your automations, your data and the software they run on stay with you whether you keep working with us or not. Everything is built on Ambulando, our open-source agent workspace, so your business is not locked into us or a single AI provider.

How much does Automation Partner cost?

Automation Partner costs $5k per improvement loop, per month + GST, with a one-month minimum. One improvement loop is one focused stream of automation work delivered through the monthly cycle. Add another loop for another $5k a month + GST when you want to automate more concurrently. Ambulando is an additional $500 a month + GST at the early-adopter rate. You can cancel anytime.
