We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
Ethan Parker
Founder of Elite Academy
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
James Whitmore
Head of Marketing of Lumen Outdoor
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

07Work Culture
Why Businesses Trust Us With Their Automation
Getting ownership and reliability wrong means a business locked into a vendor or blindsided by a silent failure, so we build for neither. These are the habits we bring to every project.
One partner, not five vendors
Support, invoicing, reporting and workflows handled under one agency relationship.
You own what we build
Workflows, agents and code are yours, whether you keep a retainer or not.
Setup fee or retainer, your call
Pay once and own it, or move to managed monitoring if you'd rather not run it yourself.
AI where it earns its keep
We add AI to steps that genuinely benefit from it, not for its own sake.
Monitored, not abandoned
Retainer clients get monitoring, model updates and fixes as your systems change.
Scoped before we build
We map what's worth automating first instead of billing for busywork.

Who it's for
Businesses that want one partner for all their automation
You'd rather work with a single agency across support, invoicing, reporting and workflows than piece together freelancers or tools yourself.
Businesses deciding between owning automations or a managed service
You want the option to pay once and own the build, or move to a retainer if you'd rather not manage it yourself.
Businesses wanting AI added to existing workflows
You already have some automation but want AI layered in for support, content, or decision-making steps.
Businesses that got burned by a black-box vendor before
You want confirmation upfront that you'll own the workflows and code, not just access to someone else's platform.
Businesses not sure where to start with automation
You know automation could help but want a partner to map out what's worth building first.
Not a fit for
You already know exactly which workflow you want built. Our Workflow Automation Services page is scoped to that direct, order-to-fulfillment style build.
You already know you want to work in n8n, Make or Zapier specifically. Our n8n, Make and Zapier automation experts service is scoped to that tool-specific work.
You want a process audit before committing to any build. Our Business Process Automation Services covers that assessment first.
You need a specific integration, like Shopify to Xero or a shipping carrier connection. Those services are scoped and priced for that exact connection.
You're looking for a marketing or ad agency that happens to use AI tools. We build automation infrastructure, not campaigns or creative.

12FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on what an AI automation agency does, pricing, and ownership.
What does an AI automation agency do for an ecommerce business?
We design, build and manage automated workflows and AI-powered tools that handle tasks like customer support, invoicing, reporting and syncing data between your business systems, so manual admin work runs on its own.
How much does an AI automation agency charge?
Setup typically runs from $1,500 for a single workflow up to $20,000 or more for a multi-system build, with an optional monthly retainer from $500 covering monitoring and updates after launch.
Which tasks can AI and workflows automate for my store?
Common targets include order-to-fulfillment routing, customer support ticket triage, invoice generation and matching, scheduled reporting, and syncing data between your store, accounting software and team tools.
How is one-time setup pricing different from a monthly retainer?
A one-time setup fee covers building and handing over the automation, which you then own and run yourself. A monthly retainer adds ongoing monitoring, error alerts, and adjustments as your systems or AI models change, useful for automations tied to revenue or support.
How do you keep AI automations reliable and monitored?
Retainer clients get monitoring for failures and AI model drift, with alerts routed to your team and fixes applied as underlying platforms or models change. Automations without a retainer are documented so your team can monitor them directly.
Can you automate customer support, invoicing and reporting?
Yes, these are three of our most common builds: support ticket routing and response drafting, automatic invoice generation and matching, and scheduled reporting pushed to your team or dashboard.
How long until my first automation is live?
Most single-workflow builds go live in 1 to 3 weeks. Multi-system builds involving several tools or AI components typically take 3 to 6 weeks.
Do I own the automations after they are built?
Yes. You own the workflows, agents and code we build, whether you keep a retainer or take full ownership after handover. We don't lock automations behind a proprietary platform you can't access.
