Free. A few minutes. You leave knowing the size of the leak — in pounds, on your own numbers.

The real problem

Put AI where your business actually runs.

AI should not be a chatbot that can't engage with a client or customer. It needs to be intelligent. AI should also be applied to the processes that every business depends on but generally does badly — the calls, the quotes, the customers, the cash. That is where money is made and lost. That is where AI should be applied.

Capture

Every enquiry answered and logged — day, night, weekend.

Convert

Every quote and lead followed up, automatically, until they reply.

Keep

Customers kept close — reviews asked, quiet ones brought back.

Collect

Every overdue invoice chased, without anyone having to.

How much business are you losing every week, simply because your company stops thinking when your staff go home?

Find out — it takes a few minutes →

The answer comes back in pounds — and the first move to stop it.

Start here · Free

First, see exactly where your business stands.

Answer a few questions about your business — your own figures, seen only by you — and we hand back a serious working document: where you stand on AI today, where revenue is quietly leaking, what you would recover each month, and the first sensible steps, in the order to take them. Yours to keep, whether or not we ever speak.

The arithmetic is conservative, it shows its working, and every pound is tied to a real thing — a captured call, a chased quote, a collected invoice. If your numbers don't justify it, the assessment says so.

And the total is not the point — the direction is. Each month's recovery is a deposit into what the business is worth. Every month you wait is money off the top.

Where you stand · where revenue leaks · your first moves, in order

A place for everything, and everything in its place.

Every customer, every job, every promise, every conversation — held in one place and never forgotten. What used to be called a CRM, built in from day one. Nothing slips through, nothing dies in a notebook or a busy head. And the longer it runs, the more it's worth — because this record becomes the single most valuable thing you own.

The sooner it starts, the more it holds — and the more your business is worth for it.

The Office Manager

It runs everything. You never see it work.

The most capable thing in your business is the one you never see. It runs quietly, constantly, in the background — every call answered, every quote followed, every invoice collected, every customer kept, by one steady presence that never sleeps, never forgets, and never takes a day off. You only ever see the work, done. The hire you never have to manage.

The customer who'd have called someone else — kept. The job you'd have lost — won. The money you'd written off — recovered.

What it handles →

Four jobs, each a revenue lever — see which one pays for itself first in your business.

Hear it working

A customer rings after hours. Listen to what happens next.

Eighty-eight seconds. A real emergency call, answered the way every call to your business could be.

That call would have gone to voicemail. Instead it is a captured customer, a booked job, and a record of both.

Make every call sound like this →

The assessment shows what answered calls are worth in your business — before you spend a penny.

One decision, and you're in.

You don't mount an "AI project". You retain the Office Manager, and AI is applied at the foundation of your business in a single stroke. The result arrives; the technology takes care of itself.

The business begins to behave like an asset, not a job.

Who's behind it

Four decades of building businesses.

Robert Daubigny founded Europe's first telemarketing company in 1981, built it into The Merchants Group, and sold it in 1997. The form sensible business takes now is artificial intelligence, applied carefully, by someone who has been doing this kind of work for a working lifetime.

The founder's story →

The leak doesn't wait. Neither should you.

A few minutes, your own figures, seen only by you — and a serious working document back: what you're losing, what you'd recover, and what the recovery builds. No obligation, and nobody telephones you unless you ask them to.
