Ongoing monitoring and tweaks so it keeps running smoothly and saving more time.
"The invoice automation saved us hours every week and cut down on mistakes. Highly recommend the affordable and effective service from Ali!"

About us
I founded AInovate Solutions after more than 15 years as an IT consultant and IT Director, working across business process management, automation and agentic AI. I wanted to give small and mid-sized businesses the kind of automation that usually needs an agency or an in-house development team, without the overheads that come with either.
I work across workflow automation, RPA and AI tools, and the approach works in almost any sector: healthcare, financial services, retail and e-commerce, professional services, manufacturing, logistics, property, education and beyond. I often work embedded within client teams, alongside the people who do the job today, so what I build fits how the work really happens.
My background in IT and information security processes means data protection and access control are part of the design from day one. That matters when the work involves patient records or financial data.
No. We handle the design, build and running of everything. You just tell us how the work is done today.
It depends on the process, but most clients save 10+ hours a week by automating repetitive tasks like data entry, follow-ups and admin. We estimate it for you before you commit.
Every project is quoted after the free consultation, based on what you need. Our pricing is designed for small and mid-sized businesses, and most automations pay for themselves in time saved.
Almost certainly. We connect to thousands of cloud tools, and our RPA approach handles bespoke and desktop software that has no API.
Carefully. We work in line with UK GDPR, use access controls and multi-factor authentication, and only touch the data an automation needs. When we handle your customers’ or patients’ data, we act as your data processor under a written agreement.
Yes. We work with sole traders, teams of ten and organisations of 100+, and scope the work to fit.
We'll come back within one working day with an honest view on whether it can be automated and roughly what it would take.
