Work That Runs
Without Being Driven.
When a person is the engine for a task that never changes, the work stops whenever they are busy. Automation makes the routine cases run on their own and puts your team back on the ones that need them. Try it below.

The Economics
Is It Worth Automating?
Manual work rarely looks expensive, because it arrives a few minutes at a time. Put your own numbers in: a process that quietly consumes tens of thousands of dollars a year is an investment decision, not a small tech task.
Wages plus taxes and benefits. $40 is a common starting point.
Estimated annual cost of this work
$9,200 to $10,400
About 260 hours a year
An estimate from the numbers you entered, not a quote and not a promise of savings. Automation rarely removes every minute of a task.
Show Us This WorkflowWorth automating
- It repeats many times a week, the same way most of the time
- The rules can be written down, even with a few exceptions
- The systems involved can be reached by API, import or export
- Mistakes or delays cost money, time or customer trust
Probably not worth it
- It happens a few times a month
- Every case needs a judgment call nobody can describe
- The process or the software is about to change
- The only way in is a system that forbids automated access
What Happens to the Exceptions
Automation handles the routine cases. Anything that does not fit the rules, such as a missing field, a duplicate or an unusual amount, is held and sent to a person with the reason attached, instead of being pushed through wrong. Deciding what counts as an exception is part of every scope.
Ready to Scope
What Are You Doing Twice a Day, Every Day?
Tell us the task nobody wants and everybody repeats. We will read it, ask the questions that matter, and come back with a scope and a number before anything gets built.
What Is and Is Not Included
An automation engagement covers the workflow we agreed to build. These boundaries come from our Terms of Service and apply to every technology engagement.
Included in a scoped automation
- Discovery, rule mapping, and a written scope
- Building and configuring the workflow itself
- Working within the access you provide to the systems involved
- An exception path with a defined handoff to a person
- Testing with real cases, a review cycle, and your acceptance
- Credential turnover and written handoff instructions
Not assumed unless agreed in writing
- Data migration or backfill from your existing systems
- Ongoing monitoring, maintenance, or support after handoff
- Managed IT, cybersecurity monitoring, or formal security audits
- Redesigning the underlying business process itself
- Legal, tax, accounting, privacy-law, or regulatory advice
- Third-party subscriptions, hosting, licenses, or per-run platform fees
Automation platforms often bill per run or per task. Where a workflow will generate meaningful platform usage, we say so during scoping so the ongoing cost is a decision you make up front rather than a surprise on next month invoice.
How an Automation Is Priced
Work is priced by scope, not by the hour. You get a written scope with a fixed price before anything starts, and larger builds are split into milestones. The ranges below show where engagements typically start.
| Engagement | When it fits | Investment |
|---|---|---|
| Fit Check | You know the work hurts, but not yet what to build, or whether to build anything: 30 minutes to find out. | Free |
| Quick Win Automation | One tightly bounded problem with a clear finish line. | From $1,500 |
| Core Automation or Integration Build | Workflows and system connections the business runs on, priced in a written scope. | From $5,000 |
| Operations Automation Partnership | After a build: monitoring, maintenance, vendor and API changes, and small improvements. | From $750 / month |
| Third-party costs | Automation platform subscriptions and per-run or per-task usage charges. | Customer-paid directly |
Your first payment is due before work starts, and each later payment when your written scope sets it. Final files, credentials and the handoff may be held until everything due is paid. If we find the actual scope differs materially from what was described, we stop and give you a revised estimate before doing the additional work.
Hosting, domains, licenses, subscriptions, and processing fees stay in accounts you own and are billed to you directly by each vendor whenever practical. Where we must place an approved charge on your behalf, that amount is collected before we incur it.
After the Build
Every build ends with documentation and a handoff, so your team can run it. If you would rather not, a monthly partnership covers monitoring, vendor and API changes, and small improvements under its own written agreement.
See Partnership LevelsReview and Acceptance
You agree to review deliverables promptly. Unless we agree to a different acceptance method in writing, work is deemed accepted on the earliest of: your written approval; your use of the delivered work in production or public release; or five (5) business days after delivery without a written, reasonably specific objection tied to the agreed scope.
T&C Group Holdings, LLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Technology services are provided for implementation, support, troubleshooting, and general business-use guidance only. Automation work depends on third-party systems, platforms, subscriptions, credentials, vendor approvals, and APIs. We do not guarantee uptime, compatibility with every third-party service, platform approval, or any particular business, time-saving, or technical outcome. Ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and support are outside a standard engagement unless separately accepted in writing. This page is a summary for convenience; our Terms of Service govern.
