Less admin. More business.

We set up simple automation for local businesses, so customer emails, phone calls, bookings, check-ins and reminders look after themselves and you get your time back.

Lots of AI tools. No time to work out which ones.

There's a lot of AI out there, and plenty of it is something you could probably set up yourself if you had the time. Most business owners don't, and don't know where to start.

So we start with a free, no-obligation chat. Sit down with us and tell us what's hurting your business or eating your time. We'll give you honest advice on what's worth automating. No risk, and no pressure to buy anything.

What's in your free automation audit

  • We listen to how your business runs day to day: where the time goes and what repeats.
  • We pinpoint where automation would help most, and where it wouldn't be worth it.
  • You get honest advice, with no obligation and no pressure to buy.
  • If you want to go further, you get a clear roadmap and a fixed quote before you pay anything.

Three simple steps, and you stay in control

No big commitment up front. You only pay when you've seen exactly what we'll build and what it should save you.

1

Discovery call

Free, 30 minutes

We start by listening. Tell us how your business runs day to day: where the time goes, what repeats, what you dread. We sign an NDA first, so you can speak openly.

2

Strategy call

We do the thinking

We look at where automation can help most and put together a plan: what we'd build, in what order, and the time we expect it to save you. You get a clear roadmap and a fixed quote. No surprises.

We build it

Setup, then it runs

You approve the plan and pay for the setup. We build it to a timeline we agree before you pay, test it with you, and show you how it works. After that, we're here if you want help to keep it running or add more.

See how many hours you could get back

Most owners lose a big part of their week to the same repeat jobs. Here's what a typical week can look like before and after, and a quick calculator to try with your own numbers.

A typical week now compared with a week with Autofect, in hours per task
Task A typical week now With Autofect Saved
Answering customer emails and enquiries5 hrsabout 30 minsabout 4.5 hrs
Bookings, confirmations and reminders3 hrsabout 30 minsabout 2.5 hrs

About 12.5 hours back every week. That's around 54 hours a month.

An illustration based on typical admin time for a small local business. It is an estimate, not a guarantee. Your real numbers are confirmed on the strategy call.

Estimates only. We assume we can reduce each of these jobs by the typical share shown in the table. After the strategy call, we'll give you a real figure for your business.

Is Autofect right for you?

We'd rather be upfront, so you don't waste your time or ours.

A good fit if you...

  • Want to be more efficient and get hours of repeat admin off your plate.
  • Want it built and set up for you, not another project to learn.
  • Are happy to explain how your business runs and approve what we build.
  • Want a clear scope and price before you pay.

Probably not a fit if you...

  • Want to learn how to build automations yourself. That's a great skill, but we're not a course. We do the building for you.
  • Are looking for a free build, or a cheap one-size-fits-all template.
  • Want a self-serve tool to sign up to and set up on your own.
  • Want it fully hands-off with nobody checking. We keep a person in charge of anything important.

Why we started Autofect

We come from running a service business. Everything ran on spreadsheets and doing things by hand: bookings, follow-ups, copying details from one place to another.

When you do it all yourself, mistakes happen. A message gets missed. A customer doesn't get a call back on time. In a small business, that can cost you real work.

Questions we get asked

Do I need to be technical?

No. We handle the setup. You tell us how your business works, and we explain everything in plain language.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what you need, so we don't list set prices. After the strategy call you get a fixed quote for the setup, and the monthly cost if you want ongoing support. You'll know the full cost before you commit.

Is my business information safe?

We sign an NDA before the first call. We only ask for the access we need, and we set things up in accounts you own, so you can see and change what we've done.

Will it send things to my customers without me knowing?

Only if you want it to. Most businesses start with drafts that they approve, then choose what's safe to send automatically.
