You brief us. We take it from there.

Whichever of the three jobs it is (automating the routine, finding information or buying better), it runs the same way: a conversation, a look at what's involved, the work, and a result you can check.

Tell us the job
  1. 01

    You tell us the job

    A first conversation, free, about what's taking up your time, what you need to find, or what you buy. Not sure which it is? That's what the conversation is for.

  2. 02

    We look into it

    We work out what's involved (the tools you use, where the information sits, what a replacement would have to match) and tell you plainly what we'd do, and what it would cost.

  3. 03

    We do the work

    We build the automation, compile the information, or search for the replacement.

  4. 04

    You get the result

    An automation working in your own tools, an organised list with a source for every entry, or a report setting what you buy now beside what you could buy instead.

What we'll need from you.

Mostly things you already have.

For automating the routine
Access to the tools involved, and the files the task runs on: a price list, past quotes, last year's records.
For finding information
The question, and anything you already know. A company's name can be enough to start.
For buying better
Your recent supplier invoices, or a list of what you buy and what you pay.

What you share with us is kept secure and seen only by the people at Archelaus. We don't share it with anyone else without the express consent of the person it concerns.

After it's done.

Automating the routine
We run it and keep it working for a monthly fee, or hand it over for you to run, with no monthly fee.
Finding information
Compiled once, or kept up to date on a schedule.
Buying better
Whether to switch is your decision.

What it costs.

There are no set prices: every job is bespoke, priced on its size and nature once we've heard your brief. The first conversation is free.

Buying better costs nothing unless we find a better or cheaper replacement. If we run an automation for you, there's a monthly fee; if we hand it over, there isn't.

Step one is a few lines.
