Manchester operations desk

Manchester workflow automation for admin-heavy teams

We put AI where it survives real operations: missed calls, quotes, supplier paperwork, support inboxes and slow reporting. Every workflow keeps a human review point, a named owner and a number on the ledger.

Job sheet

Send one messy workflow. You get a reply within 1 working day and a fixed-scope audit (£350–£750) before any build is discussed.

Recent build proofs

Real systems, real volume, no inflated numbers

A few patterns we can back with operational evidence, not promises.

Voice agent

6,814 calls, 59% no transfer

One anonymised 90-day dataset: routine calls handled, tickets created, complex cases passed to a person with context.

See the voice benchmark

Support desk

24,166 tickets mapped

We catalogue volume by channel, theme and team before automating, so effort lands where the pressure actually is.

See the support benchmark

Audio to actions

266 recordings reviewed

Calls and meetings turned into transcripts, summaries and owner-tagged actions. Recordings stay private.

See the transcription proof

Controls architecture

811 journaled records

A high-stakes automation lab built controls-first: limits, dry-run, journaling and review. Engineering proof, not trading advice.

First commercial step

Start with one workflow before committing to a build

The strongest first move is a focused AI Workflow Audit: one admin-heavy process, real examples, data/risk checks, and a clear route to process fix, MVP build or no-AI-yet.

Workflow audit

£350–£750

Map one workflow, shortlist opportunities and decide whether AI is worth it.

MVP automation build

£2k–£5k

Build one controlled workflow with human review, logging and handover.

Managed automation support

£500–£1.5k/mo

Maintain prompts, rules, APIs, reporting and small workflow changes after launch.

What we actually build

One workflow, from messy input to reviewed output

Messages, documents, calls and data move into a queue; AI drafts the useful bits; humans approve the sensitive decisions; reporting shows what changed.

Inputs

Calls, PDFs, inboxes, tickets, spreadsheets, product catalogues and system exports.

AI layer

Extraction, summarisation, classification, recommendations, semantic search and guardrails.

Operational output

Review queues, dashboards, notifications, handover notes and measurable process changes.

Common starting points

Clear routes for common AI automation problems

Use these pages when a buyer knows the problem: missed calls, manual documents, support queues, SME automation or a first workflow audit.

AI Workflow Audit

A focused AI workflow audit that maps one admin-heavy process, identifies automation opportunities, and produces a safe MVP plan.

Services

From audit to maintained automation

Start small, prove usefulness with real examples, then scale the workflows that survive real use.

Implementation patterns

Use cases grounded in real AI workflow patterns

The use-case library explains voice agents, support-ticket intelligence, RAG product advice, policy assistants, transcription and deploy/reporting automation without fake client names or made-up ROI.

Proof style

Examples based on build patterns, not invented testimonials

Generalised public examples are safer and more credible than fake logos, fake team photos or guaranteed savings claims.

How we work

Make AI boring enough to trust

A serious AI project needs a workflow owner, clean enough data, a clear failure mode, user handover, monitoring and a rollback route. That is the difference between a demo and a system the business can rely on.

Next step

Ready to map one workflow before building?

Send one workflow, data source or operational bottleneck. We will help decide whether it needs AI, a simpler automation, better reporting, or no-AI-yet process cleanup.
