Automation-first studio · technology + marketing

The work repeats.
Your people shouldn't.

Derovest automates the repetitive work inside your business — the retyping, the follow-ups, the invoices, the reports that eat someone's day every week. Around that core we cut what it costs to run, and open the lead tap with digital marketing when you're ready for more. Quoted in hours saved, not features.

What we do

One job: remove the work
that repeats.

Automation is the business, not a service on a list. Everything else here exists around it — the bills that carry the work, and the marketing that brings more of it when your week can finally absorb it.

01

Repetitive work, removed

Data re-entry, quote preparation, follow-ups, approvals, weekly reports. We follow the work for two days, price each task by the hours it eats, then automate them in order of payback.

AI agents on your own data

The same six questions answered from your documents. Routine replies drafted for a human to approve. Appointments booked without anyone touching a calendar — all checked against real examples first.

03

Paperwork that files itself

Invoices read, matched and posted to accounting. Enquiries and orders keyed in once, by software. Industry data says full automation cuts invoice handling cost by ~85% — we'll show you yours before we build.

Reports that write themselves

The Monday pipeline number, the month-end summary, the numbers the Friday call argues about — pulled from one system of record and delivered before anyone asks.

Lead follow-up, automated

Every enquiry scored, routed and answered in minutes, with follow-ups that send themselves. The fastest reply usually wins the deal — this makes yours the fastest without adding headcount.

Run-cost surgery

Cloud, SaaS seats and tools, read line by line. We find what's idle, duplicated or forgotten and remove it — same uptime, smaller invoice, with the saving written down before we start.

Growth, when you're ready

SEO, paid and social run as one digital marketing plan — switched on once the automated pipeline can absorb more enquiries. Reported as leads and cost per lead, not as rankings.

Software built round your process

When off-the-shelf won't fit the workflow, we build it — new, or on top of what you already have. Including codebases an AI tool or a departed freelancer left behind, made stable enough to keep earning.

The busywork

The most expensive software
in your company is a spreadsheet.

Not because it costs anything — because of who maintains it. Somebody good is spending a day a week copying fields, chasing replies and rebuilding the same report. Here's a real shape of that week, before and after we take it apart.

  • Roughly a full salaried day a week, on retyping.
  • Enquiries sit unanswered for 30+ hours — the ones who reply fastest win them.
  • Two sources of truth, so the Friday number is always argued with.
  • Every follow-up depends on a person remembering.
  • It breaks entirely when that one person is on leave.

  • The 18 hours go back into selling, not clerical work.
  • First reply in minutes — measurably more quotes out the door.
  • One system of record. The Friday number is just true.
  • Follow-ups happen whether anyone remembers or not.
  • Leave, notice periods and holiday weeks no longer stop the process.

It starts with a two-day teardown. We sit with your team, follow the work, and come back with a written list: every repetitive task, the hours it eats, what it costs a year, and what it costs to remove — ranked by payback. Yours to keep, even if you build it yourself.

How we work

Four steps. No discovery phase
that bills for six weeks.

STEP 01

The call

Thirty minutes on your numbers: where leads come from, where the hours go, what you pay monthly to keep it all running. We tell you honestly which lever moves most.

STEP 02

The business case

One page inside 24 hours: scope, fixed price, dates, and the expected return — hours saved, leads added, or spend removed. If the maths doesn't work, we say so.

STEP 03

The build

A live URL from day two and a demo every week. Automations go in one process at a time, running alongside the old way until your team trusts them.

STEP 04

The proof

Repo, documentation, runbook and a recorded walkthrough — plus the before-and-after numbers, measured. Then we stay on call for as long as you want us, or we don't.

§04
Engagements

Three ways to work with us.

Most engagements start with the teardown — it's the cheapest way to find out what your busywork actually costs. The other two exist for when you're ready.

Automate

Take out the busywork

For teams whose good people spend their week on data entry and chasing. We follow the work for two days, price the fixes by payback, then remove them one at a time.

  • Two-day teardown, written report
  • Hours and annual cost put against each task
  • Built in order of payback, highest first
  • Measured after, against the same baseline

Grow

Open the lead tap

When the automated pipeline can take more volume: a site that converts, campaigns that pay back, everything wired to your CRM so each channel's return is visible.

  • Scope and price locked before we start
  • Live URL from day two
  • Tracking and CRM wired in, not promised later
  • Cost per lead reported from week one

Partner

Keep all three moving

A monthly seat at your table. Automations maintained and extended, running costs watched, marketing dialled up or down — one agreement, pointed wherever it hurts most that month.

  • Shared roadmap, reviewed monthly
  • Leads, hours saved and spend on one dashboard
  • Cloud and tool bills watched continuously
  • Cancel at the end of any month

Questions

Straight answers.

How do you put a number on this before we've started?

By measuring what you already do. Hours on a task times what that hour costs you, enquiries received against enquiries answered, last quarter's cloud and tool invoices. None of that is a forecast — it's arithmetic on your own data, and it's in the quote so you can hold us to it afterwards.

Does automating this mean laying people off?

Not in the businesses we work with. The tasks we remove are the ones nobody wanted — retyping, chasing, rebuilding the same report — and the people doing them are usually your most capable staff, parked on clerical work. The gain shows up as more quotes out and faster replies, from the same headcount.

Do you actually ship in days, or is that marketing?

For a first working version, yes — a landing page, a storefront, one automated workflow end to end. What we don't do is pretend a regulated platform is a five-day job. On the call we'll tell you which one you're asking for, and the price reflects the honest answer rather than the exciting one.

We already have a website and a CRM. Do you replace them?

Rarely. Most of the value is in connecting what you own — the form to the CRM, the CRM to WhatsApp, payments to accounting — and fixing the two or three places where deals leak. We replace something only when keeping it costs more than moving off it, and we'll show you that comparison first.

How do you charge?

Launch projects and teardowns are fixed price, agreed in writing before work starts. Partner engagements are a flat monthly fee. We don't bill by the hour, so nobody here is incentivised to take longer than the job needs.

How much can you really cut off our running costs?

It depends on how the account grew, and we won't quote a percentage before reading it. What we will do is give you the teardown first: line items, what each one is for, what's safe to remove, and the projected saving — so you decide with numbers instead of a promise.

§06
Start

Tell us what your team
does every single week.

Describe the task that repeats — even in one line. You'll get a real reply, usually same day, from the person who'd actually build the automation. If the hours saved don't justify the price, we'll tell you that too.
