AI Automation

Automation is the holy grail of working with technology, for it allows a chaining of processes to occur with little or no human involvement. That saves time, money and errors that need to be corrected later.

There are many areas of a business that can be automated. Some only require integration of different stand-alone products, linked directly or through services like Zapier.

Others require custom programming and effort that can create a smooth workflow, but which often comes after an excruciating process that disrupts staff attention and workflows while the planning and implementation are in process.
