Automation library
From customer enquiries and stock alerts to onboarding, reporting and finance. These are examples of what we can build around your team, with clear inputs, checks and human review.

Open recipe →Low-stock lines are flagged against your reorder rules with a draft purchase order.
Open recipe →Staff ask questions in plain English and get answers grounded in your own documents.
Open recipe →New suppliers are set up with the right details and checks, without chasing emails.

Start with a free introductory call. Choose a time in Calendly. The assessment is optional. We agree scope and final price before work begins.
ROI calculator
Assumes 46 working weeks and 12 months of selected ongoing support. Bespoke work needs an individual quote. This is a model for your own numbers, not a promise; read how to model payback.
Strong case for one workflow build. Validate the hours first: an assessment does exactly that.
Your plan
Move the sliders to build your plan.
Payback uses the selected build price and deducts selected ongoing support. The optional £499 assessment and software costs are excluded; add them to your full business case. Builds include 30 days of fixes against the accepted specification. Time freed is estimated capacity, not guaranteed cash savings. Shared and saved estimates use current pricing options.
Work you can inspect
Built workflow
Clerq has built a workflow connecting Xero records, close tasks and generated progress summaries. It records task states, who completed each task and when.

Yes. Send a brief enquiry or email Stephen to arrange a free introductory call. We discuss fit; any paid assessment or build is agreed separately.
That is common: workflows stall after the demo. We build around one real process and your existing tools, with an owner and a handover, so it keeps running.
No. The work we automate is the keying, chasing and checking around people. Payments, decisions and customer replies stay with a person.
Use the calculator to explore your own assumptions. Time freed is not automatically a cash saving. We agree what should be measured before commissioning; no saving is guaranteed.
We agree the inputs, secure sharing method, access permissions and responsibilities before work starts. Use only a brief description in the public enquiry form. Do not send confidential records. See our privacy policy for website data handling.

Start with a free introductory call. Choose a time in Calendly. The optional £499 assessment includes a two-hour walkthrough of one team and its systems, preparation, a prioritised report and a short follow-up call. A defined build can be quoted directly.
We start with your current tools. We confirm suitable connections, access and file hand-offs before agreeing a build. The Xero example does not establish support for every accounting platform.
Payments, supplier decisions and customer replies stay under human approval. We agree the inputs, secure sharing method, access permissions and responsibilities before work starts. Use only a brief description in the public enquiry form. Do not send confidential records. See our privacy policy for website data handling.
Sometimes AI is not worth it yet. If the process is unclear, automating it makes it faster and worse, and we will tell you so. Try the readiness check.
