Paperwork that must reconcile
Delivery notes, job sheets and invoices have to agree. We capture once at the point of work so the documents match without anyone cross-checking.
Business systems and automation consultancy in Newport
Twenty minutes from our Cardiff base, Newport businesses get the same hands-on treatment: a clear map of where the time goes, then a connected system that removes the repeat admin.
How business runs in Newport
Newport sits on the M4 corridor with a strong logistics, distribution and light manufacturing base, plus a growing tech and public-sector presence. These businesses live on scheduling, proof of delivery and paperwork that must match — which is precisely the sort of process that breaks quietly when it is held together by email and a whiteboard.
What we keep fixing for Newport businesses
Three patterns we meet again and again across South Wales.
Scheduling on a whiteboard
The plan lives in one room and nobody outside it can see changes. We move it somewhere shared and live, without making it harder to update.
Growth along the M4 corridor
Winning a larger contract exposes every manual step at once. We stress-test the process before volume does it for you.
What we do for Newport businesses
Typically founder-led teams of 5–50 people. Common sectors here: Logistics, manufacturing services, trades, property and professional services.
Systems audit
We spend time with your team, map how work actually moves, and hand back a plain-language report with a prioritised fix list. The first call is free.
CRM and admin automation
Enquiries, payments, onboarding and follow-up connected into one workflow, so nobody retypes the same customer details into three different tools.
Bespoke AI agents
Where it genuinely saves time, we build agents that draft, sort and check work — with clear guardrails and a human signing off.
AI compliance
If you use AI in the business, we check where you stand under the EU AI Act and put simple, sensible paperwork in place.
Handover and training
Your team gets documented workflows and training. The system keeps running whether or not we're in the room.
Ongoing support
After handover, most clients move to a lighter retainer so the system keeps pace as the business changes.

Common questions from Newport businesses
How often can you be on site in Newport?
As often as the project needs. Newport is twenty minutes up the M4 from our Cardiff base, so we can come over for a single morning and there is no travel charge for it.
Our delivery notes, job sheets and invoices never quite match. Can that be fixed?
Yes, and it is a common logistics job. The cause is nearly always the same detail being entered separately at three points. We capture it once at the point of work and generate the rest from that record, so the paperwork reconciles by design.
Our scheduling lives on a whiteboard. Is that worth changing?
Only if the change is as quick to update as the whiteboard, which is the standard we build to. The gain is that drivers, office staff and customers all see the same live plan instead of ringing in to ask.
We've just won a bigger contract. How quickly can you help?
A systems audit takes 1–2 weeks and a rebuild typically 3–6 weeks, and we can prioritise the steps the new contract will hit hardest first so the critical path is safe before volume arrives.
