Team training turns your staff into confident AI users who multiply those gains every day.

Setups tailored for SMEs like yours, focusing on quick, controllable wins in a tight market.

Real Fixes from Real Businesses

As a small business operator in the UK, I've tackled rising overheads head-on with straightforward workflows & AI tools, cutting costs by 30% without disrupting daily ops. These implementations mix hardware for physical efficiencies and software for workflow smarts, all designed for teams with limited time and budget.

  • Hardware Fixes: Easy installs that trim utility bills by 20-30% in shops or offices.

  • Software Fixes: Integrations with accounting platforms handle invoicing and journaling automatically

  • Operations Fixes: AI-driven CRM tools filter low-value leads and send auto-chases

Businesses in retail, services, or trades typically see overhead drops within the first quarter.

From Scan to Self-Run in Weeks

Our process is direct: Identify, deploy, empower. Tailored for Self Employed to SMEs with real-world constraints, blending hardware for tangible control and software for smart automation. We're not a retainer business, our aim is full self-empowerment, you gain the tools and know-how to run everything independently.

  • Quick Scan: A 15-minute review to pinpoint leaks, like underused hardware or fragmented software.

  • Hands-On Deployment: Guided setup of core tools - e.g., integrating apps for admin flows or devices for operational tweaks.

  • Custom Playbook: Deliver actionable guides and strategy for ongoing adjustments, like routine efficiency checks.

  • Independence Check: Final tune-up to verify savings, then full handover for self-management.

Turn key team members into AI users who multiply your efficiency gains.

Who We Are

alskmdalksmd

I trained as a Mechanical Engineer and spent 5 years at Jaguar Land Rover stripping waste out of press production lines. In 2017 I took over our family wedding venue and applied the same mindset: linking smart hardware to software so the business runs smarter and smoother. With taxes at record highs and economic growth flat, focusing on the cost side has never been more important than chasing extra sales. I understand exactly what can or could be automated today, how much it costs, and how quickly it pays off.

alskmdalksmd

With a marketing degree and 15 years leading client services at agencies like Fat Media, CTI, Dept, and Reason, I’ve spent my career turning messy processes into profitable, data-driven results. My strength is in high attention to detail and designing clear, repeatable processes that anyone on the team can follow—bringing that same clarity to workflow projects so the right tools fit perfectly, deliver measurable savings, and allow one person to handle multiple roles efficiently without added complexity.

In uncertain times, small tweaks yield big wins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens on the free 15-min call?

We get a general understanding of your business, reviewing your current setup and biggest cost areas. If we genuinely think we can help, we’ll say so. If not, we’ll tell you honestly—no hard sell.

How soon do clients see savings?

Most see savings within a month of implementing the Workflow Overhaul. It is largely dependent on current promises and dependencies. Bigger gains come in months 3-6.

Do I need to be technical to benefit from this?

No. We handle all implementation and give you simple, step-by-step playbooks anyone on your team can follow. Our focus is practical results, not tech jargon.

What tools do you typically use?

We select from proven platforms like Make.com for automations, Zapier for connections, smart hardware for energy/equipment control, and LLMs like ChatGPT or Copilot for daily productivity. The exact mix is tailored to your workflows—always the simplest tool that gets the job done.

What is an LLM?

An LLM (Large Language Model) is the technology behind tools like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot. It’s trained on vast amounts of text to understand and generate human-like responses, making it useful for tasks like writing emails, summarising reports, researching ideas, or creating content quickly. In business, we use LLMs to speed up routine work.

Can my team learn to use AI confidently?

Yes and it multiplies your return. We offer optional training sessions (remote or offsite) turning key staff into “AI Champions”: practical LLM use, custom prompts for your business, and ethical guidelines. Many clients say this is the part that transforms day-to-day productivity.

What is the AI Champion Programme and what’s the goal?

The AI Champion Programme is tailored training (remote or offsite) that turns key team members into confident everyday AI users. The goal is to create internal champions who use LLMs and workplace tools to handle more tasks faster and smarter, effectively letting one person manage the workload of many through clear prompts, automations, and ethical practices. This multiplies your efficiency gains long-term and reduces future external dependency. Priced on application.
