The problem

Sound familiar?

  • Wasting time on repetitive tasks

    The same details retyped into the inbox, the spreadsheet, the invoice and the diary, day after day.

  • Failing to respond efficiently to clients

    Enquiries wait hours or days for a tailored reply, and every delay makes it more likely the client goes elsewhere.

  • Chasing payments and struggling to navigate accounts

    Working out who’s paid, sending reminders and matching payments to bookings by hand, across systems that never quite agree.

  • Losing track of staff and suppliers

    Rotas, availability and supplier bookings scattered across diaries, messages and spreadsheets, so double-bookings and gaps slip through.

Services

Systems built around how your business actually works

Not off-the-shelf software you have to bend your business around. Each system is designed for your data, your rules and your team.

  • Custom CRM and enquiry pipelines

    Every enquiry captured, organised and tracked through each stage, from first contact to completed booking.

  • AI-powered auto-replies

    Enquiries answered instantly and accurately with pricing, availability and FAQs drawn from your own information. Anything uncertain is flagged for staff.

  • Booking, availability and resources

    Capacity, staffing and calendar logic handled automatically, so double-bookings and manual diary checks disappear.

  • Automated invoicing and payments

    Invoices created, sent, tracked and reconciled with your accounting software. Booking status updates the moment payment lands.

  • Staff dashboards and portals

    One simple place for the team to see priorities and act, plus live stats for decision-makers.

Case studies

Built for a UK events company

Three systems that now run quietly in the background of a busy events business.

CRM system

Ten stages, every enquiry, no gaps

A bespoke CRM handling a wide variety of client needs across 10 stages of progress, from first enquiry to completed event, with AI auto-replies covering pricing, availability and FAQs.

to reply to a new enquiry

The manual way

  1. Enquiries arrive across email, web forms and phone
  2. Staff reply by hand, checking prices and dates each time
  3. Progress tracked in a spreadsheet, if it’s updated
  4. Clients wait one to two days for a reply

Automated invoicing

Minimise data entry and refine manual inputs

Staff tick one box and a custom invoice is created in QuickBooks, emailed with a payment link, and the booking updates itself when paid.

of admin work per week, at most

The manual way

  1. Booking details retyped into QuickBooks
  2. Invoice exported, attached and emailed by hand
  3. Payments matched against bookings manually
  4. Booking status updated once someone remembers

Staff dashboard

One dashboard instead of four systems

A central dashboard bringing QuickBooks, Airtable, email and stats management together, so staff handle priority responses, invoices and updates in one place.

systems replaced by one dashboard

The manual way

  1. QuickBooks, Airtable, email and stats each managed separately
  2. Priorities worked out from memory
  3. Updates made in one place but not the others
  4. Managers ask the team for the latest numbers

How Autumnation works

From first call to running system

Complete focus on your build

Your project gets my full attention: direct contact with the person building it, quick answers and no account managers in between.

  1. Discovery call

    A relaxed 30-minute chat about how your business runs, where time goes and what’s worth automating first.

  2. Map the process

    I map your current workflow step by step, design the automated version and agree a clear scope and quote.

  3. Build

    I build and test the system with your real data, keeping you updated and involving your team along the way.

  4. Hand over and support

    Your team gets training and simple documentation, and I stay on hand to support and improve things as you grow.
