What We Actually Do

An Automation Agency That Counts First, Builds Second

As an AI and process automation agency we do three things: process automation for the rule-based work, AI automation for the judgement work, and the integrations that let your existing tools hand information to each other without a person copying it across. Discovery, build, measure. In that order, every time.

Here is the part most agencies skip. Before anything gets built we sit with the person doing the job and count. How many times a day. How long each time. How often it comes back wrong. It is unglamorous work and it takes two or three hours, and it is the only reason we know what is worth automating.

One client — a distributor, nine branches — was convinced their bottleneck was month-end reporting. Everyone said so. We counted anyway. The actual cost was a floor supervisor who did not sit at a desktop, so he photographed each dispatch note and WhatsApped it to a girl in accounts who typed all 60-odd of them in after 6pm. Every day. Nobody had ever written that step down because it was not officially anybody’s process.

That one took four weeks. Month-end reporting we got to later, and it turned out to matter much less than the meeting had insisted. Which happens more often than you would think, honestly.

  • Process automation for orders, approvals, reminders and reporting
  • AI agents that read, classify, answer and route
  • Document processing — invoices, POs, forms, scans
  • Integrations across the tools you already pay for
  • Custom internal tools where no off-the-shelf app fits
  • Measured against hours saved and error rate, not vibes
The Distinction Nobody Explains

AI Automation vs Process Automation

Short version: process automation runs the rules, AI automation handles the mess. You almost always need both, and the projects that fail are the ones that pick the wrong one for the step.

Process Automation

Fixed rule. Same input, same output, every time.

  • Order approved → invoice raised, stock adjusted, dispatch notified
  • Payment 14 days overdue → reminder sent, owner flagged
  • Monday 8am → the report is already in your inbox
  • Form submitted → record created, assigned, acknowledged

Cheap, fast, boringly reliable. Roughly 70% of what we build.

AI Automation

No writable rule. The input arrives messy and needs reading first.

  • A customer email that half-describes a problem → classified and routed
  • A scanned PO where quantity lands in a different column each time → fields extracted
  • Forty repeat questions a day → answered against your real data, at 11pm
  • A long thread → summarised into a draft reply a human approves

Powerful, needs guardrails. Never unsupervised on anything irreversible.

Before / After

Which Processes Are Worth Automating

These eight come up in nearly every discovery we run, roughly in the order they cost the most. If three of them sound like your week, you already know what the first phase is.

The same data typed into three systems that don’t talk

Entered once. Everything downstream updates itself.

Invoices and POs keyed in by hand from PDFs and photos

Read, extracted, checked, posted. Exceptions flagged.

Approvals chased across four WhatsApp threads

One tap, logged, with a record of who said yes and when.

The Monday report somebody rebuilds by hand

Already in your inbox at 8am, same numbers every time.

Follow-ups that depend on someone remembering

Triggered by what the customer did, or didn’t do.

The same six customer questions, forty times a day

An AI agent that answers at 11pm and logs the enquiry.

Enquiries triaged by whoever opens the inbox first

Classified, routed and assigned before anyone reads them.

A month-end reconciliation nobody wants to own

Matched automatically. A person only sees the mismatches.

Discovery To Measured

How an Automation Project Runs

01

Count the work

Two or three hours watching one job move end to end. Every re-entry, every wait, every chase, timed. You keep those notes whatever you decide to do next.

02

Pick one, argue about the rest

You get a written phase plan and a number for hours saved. Then we push back on half of what you asked for, because some of it will not repay the build cost. Better to hear that now.

03

Ship the first workflow

Three to five weeks to something live and in use. Not a demo environment — the real thing, running on real data, with the old process still available for a fortnight.

04

Measure, then extend

Eight weeks after go-live we re-measure the same two numbers we baselined. If it did not move, we say so. If it did, that is the argument for phase two, and you have the receipts.

What You Can Hire Us For

AI and Process Automation Services

Business Process Automation — AI and process automation agency services by Nexona

Business Process Automation

Order entry, approvals, reminders, stock movements, scheduled reports. The rule-based spine of your operation, running without anyone pressing go. Usually the cheapest hours you will ever buy back.

AI Agents — AI and process automation agency services by Nexona

AI Agents

Voice and chat agents that pick up at 11pm, answer against your real data, qualify the caller and write the enquiry straight into your systems. They hand off to a human the moment the question gets unusual.

Document Processing — AI and process automation agency services by Nexona

Document Processing

Invoices, purchase orders, delivery notes, forms, photographs of forms. Read, extracted into structured fields, validated against what you already have. Exceptions get flagged for a person instead of everything going to a person.

Systems Integration — AI and process automation agency services by Nexona

Systems Integration

The plumbing between tools that were never designed to talk. Tally, payment gateways, courier APIs, your CRM, and the WhatsApp number your customers actually use.

Custom Internal Tools — AI and process automation agency services by Nexona

Custom Internal Tools

When the workflow has nowhere to live, we build it one. Sometimes that grows into a full ERP — more often it stays a single sharp tool four people open forty times a day.

Automation Audit — AI and process automation agency services by Nexona

Automation Audit

Not sure where to start? Two or three hours, one workflow followed end to end, a written list of what is worth automating with hours attached. Independent of whether you then hire our team to build it.

Where This Usually Lands

Who We Automate For

Manufacturing & distribution

Dispatch notes, production reporting, stock that disagrees with the rack, GST paperwork. Often this grows into a full ERP for manufacturers, but it rarely starts there.

Sales-led teams

Lead triage, quotation follow-ups, pipeline hygiene, renewal reminders. Pairs directly with customer retention software when churn is the thing keeping you up.

Education & campuses

Admissions chasing, fee reminders, attendance rollups, the accreditation report six people assemble by hand. The college ERP side of our work, mostly.

Startups scaling past ~12 people

The size where spreadsheets quietly stop working. Automate before you hire for operations — the startups we work with usually find four to six hours a week per person hiding there.

FAQ

Automation Questions We Get Asked

An AI and process automation agency maps how work moves through your business, finds the steps a person is doing only because no system does them, and replaces those steps with software. In practice that means three things: process automation for the deterministic work (data entry, approvals, reports, reminders), AI automation for the judgement work (reading a messy email, classifying an enquiry, drafting a reply), and the integrations that let your existing tools pass information to each other without a person copying it across.

Process automation handles work with a fixed rule: when an order is approved, generate the invoice, update stock, notify dispatch. Same input, same output, every time. AI automation handles work where the input is messy and the rule cannot be written down — a customer email that half-describes a problem, a scanned PO with the quantity in a different column each time, a support ticket that needs routing. Most real projects use both. The rules do the spine of the workflow and the AI handles the parts that used to need a human to read something first.

The first working automation is usually live in three to five weeks. Full engagements run eight to sixteen weeks depending on how many systems have to talk to each other. We deliberately ship the single highest-cost workflow first, because the argument about scope gets much easier once one thing is already saving hours.

A single scoped workflow typically starts around Rs 1,20,000. A multi-workflow build with AI agents and integrations across three or four systems usually lands between Rs 4,00,000 and Rs 12,00,000. We price by scope, not seats, and there is no per-user licence afterwards — you own what we build.

We count. During discovery we follow one job end to end and write down every point where a person re-enters, re-checks or chases something, then multiply by how often it happens. The winner is almost never the process people complain about most — it is the small five-minute one running forty times a day. That is where we start.

Not in any project we have run. What it removes is the part of the job nobody wanted: retyping, reconciling, chasing approvals, rebuilding the same report every Monday. Teams usually end up doing more of the work they were hired for, and companies stop hiring for pure data-entry roles. If your goal is a headcount cut, say so upfront so we can tell you honestly whether the numbers support it.

No, and we would push back if you suggested it. Tally, your accounting stack, your existing CRM, the WhatsApp number everyone actually uses — those stay. Automation sits between them. We connect through APIs where they exist and build a thin custom layer where they do not, so the systems you already trust keep being the system of record.

Answering repeat customer questions against your real data, qualifying an inbound enquiry and writing it into your CRM, reading incoming documents and pulling structured fields out of them, drafting first-pass replies for a human to approve, and flagging the exceptions. What they should not do unsupervised is anything irreversible — issuing refunds, sending contracts, changing prices. We build those as draft-and-approve, always.

Hours and error rate, agreed before we build. We baseline how long a workflow takes today and how often it goes wrong, then measure the same two numbers eight weeks after go-live. If a workflow is not measurably faster or cleaner, it was the wrong thing to automate and we will say so rather than invoice around it.

Usually the opposite. Small teams feel the repeat work harder because the same four people absorb all of it. You do not need an IT department — you need two workflows removed. We handle hosting, monitoring, updates and the odd 9pm message when something looks wrong, and you get one person to talk to rather than a ticket queue.

Tell Us What Keeps Getting Retyped

You don’t need a spec or a process map. One hour, an honest description of the part of your week that keeps going wrong, and we’ll tell you whether automation is even the right answer. Sometimes it is a staffing problem wearing a software costume, and we’ll say that too.
