Close enough to work with you

We’re based in Swindon, around 30 miles from Bath — an easy trip for scoping sessions, training days and any conversation that works better in person. Between visits, delivery is remote using video and screen-sharing, so progress never waits for a diary slot.

We know the UK market from the inside. When you need to talk through a problem, you’re not waiting for someone in a different country to come online.

We know what Bath businesses are working with.

Bath’s economy runs on more than tourism. Behind the Georgian frontages sits a dense cluster of professional services firms, publishers, software companies and creative agencies, plus the hospitality businesses that serve six million visitors a year. Most of them are small teams doing skilled work with too much admin wrapped around it.

For Bath firms the pattern we see is knowledge work buried in documents — contracts to review, bookings to reconcile, client onboarding that takes days of back-and-forth. That’s document intelligence and process automation territory, and it’s the work we do most.

Most of the businesses we talk to have similar problems.

It usually goes like this. The business is doing well. The team is busy. There’s a job: quoting, lead handling, document review, weekly reporting, small repetitive tasks — that someone is doing manually because nobody has been able to fix it. It used to be a small job. It isn’t anymore.

Whoever is doing it has built up so much working knowledge that nobody else can take it off them, which means they can’t take a day off without something falling over. The owner knows it’s a problem. They’ve looked at off-the-shelf software and it doesn’t quite fit. They’ve talked to a consultant who showed them an impressive presentation and didn’t change anything. They’ve considered hiring someone, but it isn’t really a job — it’s a sequence of small decisions that compound.

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re who we built this consultancy for.

Six things we build over and over.

Lead management & follow-up

Capturing leads from every channel, deduplicating, scoring, routing, and following up automatically when humans don’t have time.

Document intelligence

Reading contracts, invoices, spreadsheets, planning notices, supplier quotes — anything where the information is in a document and needs to be pulled out as structured data.

Process automation

The repetitive work that’s eating into someone’s time. Pulling reports, reformatting, sending, chasing, reconciling. The work nobody wants to do and nobody can stop doing.

AI business assistant

A system that reads your inbox, your pipeline and your calendar and tells you what needs your attention today. Built and tuned to how your business actually works, not someone else’s.

Data capture & cleanup

Information coming from web forms, emails, phone calls and PDFs, all in different shapes, none of it ready for the CRM. We get it clean and into one place.

Bespoke integrations

Two systems that should talk to each other but don’t. We build the bridge. Usually deterministic; sometimes the bridge needs an AI layer in the middle to handle messy real-world data.

We work with UK businesses every day.

You don’t have to spend the first hour of every meeting explaining how your business works. We know what UK SMEs look like from the inside. We know how the work gets done, how invoices flow, how a quote turns into a job, how the team handles a busy Friday afternoon.

That kind of context doesn’t come out of a brochure or translate from a consultancy that started in California. It comes from years of working with businesses like yours, on real problems, and it shapes every system we build. When something goes wrong at nine o’clock on a Tuesday morning, you can call a person you’ve already met, in a UK time zone, who already knows your setup.

What businesses in Bath ask us

“Are you only for tech companies?”

No. Most of our clients are not tech companies. They’re home improvements firms, professional services, trades, lead-gen businesses, retailers. The reason we exist is that those businesses are the ones who need this work done and don’t have an in-house team to do it.

“Do you work on-site in Bath?”

Yes. Bath is about 35 miles from our Swindon base — under an hour by car or a direct train from Chippenham. Scoping sessions and training days on-site are normal; day-to-day delivery is remote.

“We’re a professional services firm, not a tech company — does this translate?”

That’s most of our client base. If your team’s time goes into reviewing documents, chasing information, or re-keying data between systems, those are the problems we automate — the sector label doesn’t matter much.

“Can we start small?”

Yes. In fact we prefer it. The first engagement is usually a small, well-scoped piece of work that proves the approach. If it goes well, we can scale up.

“How do we know you actually understand our business?”

Because we’ll spend time in it before we propose anything. The paid assessment exists exactly to make sure we’re not selling you a generic solution. By the end of it you’ll know whether we get it or not.

“What about my data?”

Your data always belongs to you. You can export it, move it, or hand it to another team at any time — no restrictions, no complications.

“Do you do training so our team can run it?”

Yes, as standard. Every system we hand over includes a training session and written documents. In practice, most clients come back for more — not because they have to, but because they can see other problems worth solving.

Start with a 30-minute conversation.

No sales pitch, no commitment, no slides. We’ll listen to where the time is going in your business and tell you honestly whether there’s something worth building.
