Work that moves on its own.

We design and build workflow automation, custom apps and practical software fixes, starting from how your team works today.

How we work

A simple process with no surprises. You always know what is happening, what it will cost, and what you will get.

  1. Step 1

    Talk.

    We start with a conversation about your business, what is working, and what is slowing you down.

    You getAn honest view of whether automation or custom software is the right fit.

    How much does it cost?
  2. Step 2

    Map.

    We map the workflow step by step and agree what is worth automating or building, and what is not.

    You getA written plan and a quote before any work begins.

    How long does a project take?
  3. Step 3

    Build.

    We build in small pieces you can see and test with your own data, adjusting as we go.

    You getWorking software early, not a big reveal at the end.

    Who owns the work?
  4. Step 4

    Launch and support.

    We launch carefully, train your team, and hand over documentation.

    You getSomething your team can use from day one, and support when you need it.

    What happens if something breaks?

What we do

Three ways we help, from automating a single process to building a complete app.

Workflow automation, built for your business

Automate the work your team repeats every day.

We look at how work actually moves through your business: the forms, emails, spreadsheets and systems involved. Then we connect them and automate the repetitive steps, so information flows on its own and fewer things fall through the cracks.

Every automation is designed around your process, not a generic template.

Typical examples

  • New enquiries captured and routed to the right person automatically
  • Customer onboarding steps triggered in order, with nothing forgotten
  • Quotes, invoices and documents generated from data you already have
  • Data kept in sync between the tools you use, instead of being copied by hand
  • Approvals and reminders that chase themselves
  • Regular reports assembled and sent without anyone building them

What you get: a working automation, written documentation, and a walkthrough for your team.

Custom app design and build

When off-the-shelf software does not fit, we build what does.

Some processes need their own tool: a customer portal, an internal dashboard, a booking or job-management app. We design and build custom web and mobile apps around your workflow, from first sketches to a live product.

You get software that matches how your business works, instead of bending your business to match the software.

Typical examples

  • Customer and client portals
  • Internal tools and dashboards for your team
  • Booking, scheduling and job-management apps
  • Web apps that replace a tangle of spreadsheets

What you get: designs you can review before we build, a working app, and code and accounts you own.

General software services

Practical help with the software you already have.

Not every job is a new build. We help with integrations between systems, improvements to existing apps and websites, fixing what is broken, and ongoing maintenance and support.

If it is software and it is slowing your business down, we can usually help.

Typical examples

  • Connecting systems that do not talk to each other
  • Improving or extending an existing app or website
  • Fixing bugs and performance problems
  • Ongoing maintenance, updates and support

What you get: a clear plan, the work done properly, and a straight answer about what it will take.

Why Keystone

A keystone is the piece at the top of an arch that holds the others in place. We build the systems that hold your day-to-day operations together.

  • Built around your business.

    We design every automation and app around how you work, not a template.

  • Plain English, no jargon.

    You will always understand what we are building and why.

  • Honest advice.

    If something is not worth automating, or a cheaper option will do, we will tell you.

  • You own what we build.

    Your code, your accounts, your data, documented and handed over.

  • Built to last.

    We build software that is tested, documented and easy to maintain.

  • Direct access.

    You work with the people building your software. [Owner to confirm team size and wording]

Questions

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Businesses of all sizes that rely on repeatable processes: if your team does the same steps every day, there is usually something worth automating.

[Owner to confirm any focus industries or business sizes]

What does “automation specific to my business” mean?

Instead of selling you a one-size-fits-all tool, we look at your actual process and build automations around it, using the software you already have wherever possible.

Do we have to change the tools we already use?

Usually not. We work with your existing tools first and only suggest changes when they clearly help.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the size of the job. After our first conversation we give you a written quote, so you know the cost before any work starts.

[Optional: typical starting price, e.g. “Projects typically start from [amount]”]

How long does a project take?

Small automations can often be running within weeks; custom apps take longer. We agree a timeline with you as part of the plan.

[Owner to confirm typical timelines]

What happens if something breaks?

We build with monitoring and documentation, and we offer ongoing support so problems are caught and fixed quickly.

[Owner to confirm support terms]

Who owns the work?

You do. The code, the automations and the accounts they run on belong to your business.

Is our data safe?

We only access what a job needs, use your own accounts wherever possible, and never sell or share your data.
