[ THE PROBLEM ]
What we usually see when clients reach out.
You are paying skilled people to move data between tools. Manual rekeying, chasing emails, updating spreadsheets and copy-pasting invoices adds up to hours a day and costly mistakes every week.
[ HOW WE FIX IT ]
A measured, senior-led approach.
We audit your real processes, design an automation roadmap and then build it. Sometimes that means a no-code workflow in Zapier or Make. Sometimes it means a bespoke integration service running quietly on your cloud. Either way, it is measured in hours saved.
Specific, repeatable work, not vague promises.
System integrations
We connect your CRM, ERP, accounting system, scheduling tool and spreadsheets, so they finally talk to each other and the team stops retyping the same data.
Document and email automation
Quotes, invoices, reminders and onboarding packs are generated and sent automatically. Every message is branded, logged and easy to track.
Custom automation services
Where off-the-shelf tools stop, we build the bespoke automation service that runs 24/7 on your own cloud, with monitoring and alerting included.

The questions buyers ask us most often about automation.
How much does business automation cost in the UK?
Simple automations typically start around £2,500. Full integration projects and custom automation services with 123Digi usually sit between £8,000 and £45,000 depending on the systems involved.
Do we need to replace our existing systems?
Usually not. Automation is almost always more cost-effective when it connects the tools you already use, such as your CRM, accounting and scheduling platform, rather than replacing them.
What tools do you work with?
We work across Zapier, Make, n8n and custom automation services. We integrate with HubSpot, Salesforce, Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Stripe and hundreds of other APIs.
How quickly can we see results?
Simple automations can go live within days. Bigger integrations and custom services typically ship within 2 to 6 weeks, depending on scope and access.
Can automation work alongside AI?
Yes. AI and automation are a natural pair. We often combine them so AI handles the judgement work (classifying, summarising, responding) while automation handles the execution.
