AI & Workflow Automation for SMBs

Operations, Automated.

Stop patching broken workflows with more headcount. We map your operations, build the automations, and hand you a system that runs — without the complexity of enterprise software.

Sound familiar?

If your operations feel like duct tape and manual effort —

You are not behind the curve. You are the customer most software vendors and consultants never actually fix. We do.

Manual reporting every week

Someone on your team spends hours pulling data, building spreadsheets, and emailing reports that are outdated before they land.

Tools that don't talk to each other

Every handoff means someone copying data between systems.

Spreadsheet chaos running the business

Critical operations — inventory, forecasting, client tracking — live in a patchwork of Excel files. It works until a formula breaks or a file goes missing.

Every growth milestone requires a new hire

Revenue is growing but margin isn't. The only way to handle more volume is to add people — because the underlying processes don't scale.

We fix this by designing and building automation for your actual workflows.

Not a strategy deck. Not a software license. A working system — built around how your business actually operates — delivered in weeks.

What you get

Built for businesses that need results — not another piece of software to manage.

Reduce Manual Work

Your team is spending hours on tasks a well-designed automation handles in seconds. We identify those tasks and give your people their time back.

Increase Speed & Accuracy

Automated workflows execute consistently, at speed, with full audit trails. No lag. No human error. Every time.

Scale Without Hiring

With the right automation infrastructure, a team of five operates like a team of fifteen. Scale revenue without scaling headcount.

Execution, Not Just Strategy

Most consultants hand you a roadmap and leave. We build the roadmap and execute it. The deliverable is a live system, not a slide deck.

What we build

Three things. Done right.

We don't do everything. We focus on the three highest-leverage capabilities that transform how a business operates.

01

Workflow Design

We map your current processes end-to-end, identify every automation opportunity, and produce a documented blueprint built around your specific tools — before a single line of code is written.

02

Automation Builds

Done-for-you. We scope, design, build, test, and hand off complete automation solutions — including AI agents for multi-step workflows. You get a working system, not a to-do list.

03

System Integration

Most businesses run across a fragmented stack — CRMs, ERPs, spreadsheets, billing tools. We build the connective tissue that makes your systems work together and eliminates manual data transfer.

Real problems we solve

Every engagement starts with a specific operational problem. Here's what that looks like in practice.

Reporting

Automated Reporting

The Problem

10+ hours/week manually pulling data from multiple sources and building spreadsheet reports.

The Automation

Automated pipeline extracts, transforms, and delivers formatted reports on a defined schedule — no human touch required.

80–90% reduction in reporting time. Version errors eliminated.

Sales

Sales Pipeline Automation

The Problem

Sales team manually updating CRM, sending follow-ups, and tracking deals — inconsistent and slow.

The Automation

Automated lead routing, follow-up sequences, pipeline stage updates, and CRM hygiene triggered by prospect behaviour.

Higher follow-up consistency. Faster lead response. Full CRM hygiene with zero manual input.

Operations

Customer Onboarding

The Problem

Every new customer triggers a multi-step onboarding process handled manually by operations staff.

The Automation

Document collection, account setup, task creation, welcome communications, and milestone tracking — all automated.

Onboarding time cut by 60%. Consistent client experience. Operations team freed for higher-value work.

Finance

Invoice Processing

The Problem

Accounting team manually processing inbound invoices, matching to POs, general ledger coding, and routing for approval.

The Automation

Automated extraction, PO matching, GL coding, and approval routing — with exception handling for mismatches.

Processing time reduced 70–85%. Month-end close accelerated. AP team focused on exceptions only.

Data

Data Reconciliation

The Problem

No reliable way to detect discrepancies between ERP, CRM, accounting, and fulfilment systems.

The Automation

Automated reconciliation compares data across systems, flags mismatches, and routes alerts to the right owner.

Real-time data integrity visibility. End-of-month reconciliation marathons eliminated.

How we work

A five-phase process built around momentum. Every phase is hands-on — we're in the weeds with your team, not observing from a boardroom.

01

Discovery

We interview your team, observe workflows, and audit your current tool stack to identify where automation delivers immediate ROI.

1–2 weeks
02

Mapping

Every process we intend to automate is documented in detail — inputs, outputs, decision points, and exceptions — before we write a line of code.

1–2 weeks
03

Design

We design the full automation architecture. Data flows, AI agent logic, human-in-the-loop checkpoints. You review and approve before we build.

1 week
04

Build

We build, integrate, and rigorously test the automations — including edge cases, volume tests, and failure scenarios before anything touches your live environment.

2–6 weeks
05

Optimise

After go-live, we monitor performance, iterate based on real usage, and identify the next wave of automation opportunities as your appetite grows.

Ongoing

First automation live within weeks — not quarters

Who this is for

We work with a specific kind of business: operationally complex, growth-minded, and underserved by off-the-shelf software.

Profile 1

Spreadsheet-Heavy Businesses

Critical operations running through Excel and Google Sheets. Everything works until it doesn't — a broken formula, a lost file, or a key person leaving.

  • 10+ hours/week in manual data work
  • Off-the-shelf tools that never fit
  • Operations or finance team overwhelmed
Profile 2

Outgrowing Their Stack

You've grown into your tools — and then outgrown them. Every handoff requires someone manually copying data between systems.

  • Multiple disconnected SaaS tools
  • Manual data entry between systems
Profile 3

Lean Teams Scaling Fast

Growing faster than you can hire. The team is capable but stretched — too much time on tasks that should be automated. You need operational infrastructure to match your growth.

  • Founder or COO managing operations directly
  • Revenue growth outpacing capacity
  • Open to tech but need a trusted partner to build it

Why Henson

Founded by practitioners who spent years inside enterprise technology — and saw firsthand what separates a successful implementation from a costly write-off.

We implement — not just advise

Every engagement ends with a live, working system. Not a strategy document, not a recommended vendor list, not a roadmap for your team to figure out. We build it.

Enterprise expertise, SMB focus

Our roots are in enterprise SaaS implementations — supply chain, demand planning, commercial analytics. We bring that rigour to businesses that have never had access to it.

Outcome-focused delivery

We track time saved, error reduction, and throughput improvements. Quick wins first — every engagement delivers a working automation within the first 30 days.

“We don’t advise from the sidelines. We build.”

— Henson Consulting
