Automation & Integration
Stop paying people to move data between tabs.
- Manual hours recovered, measured before and after
- Systems that stay in sync without anyone rekeying data
- Audit trails on processes that used to live in email
- Error rates that fall because humans stopped transcribing
Why companies bring us in
Every growing company reaches a point where staff spend their days copying data between systems that were never introduced to each other. Archanix maps those handoffs, automates the ones that are rule-based, and integrates the systems properly so the work simply stops existing.

The work, itemised
Everything below is part of a automation engagement. We scope which parts you actually need before quoting.
Process mapping
We follow a request end to end and time each step, so automation targets the expensive parts rather than the visible ones.
Workflow automation
Approvals, onboarding, invoicing, reporting and alerting automated with clear ownership and escalation when something fails.
System integration
APIs, webhooks and middleware connecting CRM, ERP, finance, support and marketing platforms reliably, with retries and dead-letter handling.
Document automation
Extraction from invoices, forms and contracts straight into your systems, with a human review step where accuracy matters.
Robotic process automation
Where a vendor offers no API, scripted automation against the interface — used sparingly and documented as a stopgap.
Monitoring
Dashboards showing what ran, what failed and what it saved, because unattended automation needs a watcher.
How the engagement runs
Every stage ends with something you can read, click or decide on — never a status update alone.
- 01
Observe
We sit with the team doing the work and record the real process, including the exceptions nobody wrote down.
- 02
Prioritise
Each candidate is scored on hours saved against build effort, and we start with the fastest payback.
- 03
Build
Automations built with logging, retries and a manual override from day one.
- 04
Pilot
Run in parallel with the manual process until the outputs match, then switch over.
- 05
Measure
Hours recovered and error rates reported monthly, with the next candidates queued.
What we build with
We pick tools for how long they will be maintainable, not for how new they are. Where you already have a stack, we work in it rather than arguing for a migration you did not ask for.

Automation by industry
The same capability behaves differently depending on what the business does. These are the sectors where this service comes up most.
Anything rule-based, repeated often and done the same way every time — invoice processing, lead routing, onboarding, report distribution, stock reconciliation. Judgement-heavy work usually is not, though parts of it often are.
In practice it removes the part of their job they least enjoy. Most clients redeploy the recovered hours into work that needs a person rather than reducing headcount.
Usually, through database access, scheduled file exchange or scripted interface automation. We document the trade-offs, because these routes are more fragile than a real API.
A well-chosen first automation typically pays back within three to six months. We estimate it before building and report the actual figure afterwards.
Services that pair with this one
ERP & CRM Implementation
Selection, implementation, migration and training for ERP and CRM platforms — including the change management that decides whether anyone uses them.
View serviceData, Analytics & AI
Data pipelines, warehouses and dashboards first; machine learning and AI assistants once the data underneath them is reliable enough to bet on.
View serviceCustom Software Development
Bespoke platforms, internal tools and customer-facing products engineered end to end. We ship in fortnightly increments so you see working software early, not a demo at the end.
