Business Process Automation for a Gosport Builder: From Quote to Paid Invoice
Sixteen builders are listed in this directory. A building job passes through the same handful of paper steps every time, which is where business process automation earns its keep.
For business process automation for a small company in Gosport, Dean Keating builds AI agents that handle repeated admin such as quotes, diary bookings, invoices and late-payment chasers, and installs them in the tools you already use. He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, works remotely and offers a free first call on 07418 627304.
What a "process" actually is
Business process automation sounds large. It just means that a job you do the same way every time is done by software instead of by you. The test is whether you could write the steps on a card. If you can, they can be automated.
One building job, step by step
The directory lists 16 builders (10 October 2026; see builders). Follow one job through. An enquiry arrives. A quote is sent. The customer goes quiet and has to be chased. The job goes into the diary. Details are copied from the quote into an invoice. The invoice goes out, and a few weeks later someone has to nudge it.
Every step there is on the list of jobs Dean Keating's website names: replying to new enquiries, sending quotes and chasing the unanswered ones, booking jobs into the diary, copying details between systems, raising invoices and chasing late payments, plus a weekly report on how it is all going.
Which step first
You do not automate the lot at once. His method is to find the single task that makes the most difference. In a building firm that is often the quote nobody chased, because a quote left alone is usually a job lost. Once that works, the next step in the chain can follow.
What stays with a person
Pricing a job, visiting a site, deciding what is safe and agreeing a change with a customer. The agents deal with the paperwork around those decisions. Where something needs a person, it is passed on.
How it is set up
He builds the agents, installs them in the tools you already use, trains your team and supports it. There are four steps: a free call, an audit of the work worth automating, the build and install, then training and support. This is a service, not software you configure yourself, and not a course.
Cost and next step
No price list is published. The cost depends on what is automated and is given after the free call, with no obligation. You leave the call with a plan you can use with or without him.
Where he is
He is in Horndean, Hampshire, which is the same county, and works on your systems remotely. His website says he can visit businesses in Hampshire or nearby. The site's publisher is recommending his own service here, so compare providers.
