If you stop, the business stops
Approvals, exceptions and the way things really run still depend on you, or one or two key people, remembering what happens next. Hiring, holidays and growth all get harder, and a week off is never really a week off.

AI automation & AI-enabled workflows for Leeds businesses
When your team spends more time chasing updates than moving work forward, the systems need attention. We help businesses in Leeds connect their tools, reduce repetitive admin and get a clearer view of the work.

The hours leak out before anyone notices they are gone
Your team is the integration layer
The same client, job or order gets typed into the CRM, the finance system and a handful of spreadsheets before the next person can act. Skilled, expensive people spend the day moving data between tools instead of doing the work you hired them for.
You find out too late to do anything about it
There's no live view of pipeline, capacity, WIP or which jobs are at risk, so problems surface at month-end or year-end when the lost margin and the missed follow-ups have already happened. Reporting is stitched together by hand, after the fact.
Growth just means another admin hire
More work coming in means more admin, so the obvious fix is another coordinator to move data between systems. But margins stall, and every new starter adds management load that lands back on you instead of lifting it off.
Give the work a better way through.
Start with what is slowing the team down. We agree the scope, connections and checks before building.
Get the repetitive admin off your plate
The enquiries to read, replies to draft, leads to qualify, documents to pull together and systems to update — handled by AI-enabled workflows that do the work an admin hire would otherwise do by hand, so your people get back to the work that pays.
Stop re-keying data between systems
We map the work that needs attention — intake, onboarding, quoting, invoicing, follow-up — and automate the handoffs so work moves between people and tools without anyone typing it twice.
See the whole business in one place
One live view of pipeline, capacity, hours, finance and whether a job actually made money — internal dashboards that replace flicking between systems and rebuilding the same report every month.
Controlled AI, with a person in control
Where AI helps, it prepares and drafts; a person reviews and approves before anything is sent, filed or billed. Every action is permissioned, logged and auditable — the same standard we hold client and finance data to in our own platform. Not a black box.
Make your systems stop fighting each other
Your CRM, finance, project and document tools sharing one version of the truth instead of each holding a piece and being re-typed by hand. We build the integrations so your team stops being the integration.
Custom software development in Leeds, built around your process
When off-the-shelf tools fall short, you get software shaped to how your business actually works — with permissions, audit trails, human-in-the-loop and UK data-protection built in from the first line, not bolted on later.
A conversation. A clear scope. A working system.

Trust, disruption and cost — answered straight
We've never heard of Propel — how do we know you'll deliver and not disappear?
We start with your business, agree a scope we can test and explain what your team needs to provide. Our reporting example uses fictional information to show how we approach missing updates, conflicting records and human review. Your proposal sets out responsibilities, ownership and handover before work starts.
Is this a huge, disruptive rebuild that grinds the business to a halt?
We start by understanding your current systems and what you need to improve. The proposal sets out which connections are supported, any changes needed and how testing and rollout will work. We agree the timetable and responsibilities before the build starts.
How do we keep a person in control, and an audit trail of what the AI did?
Nothing acts unsupervised. Where AI helps, it prepares and drafts; a person reviews and approves before anything is sent, filed or billed. Every action is permissioned and logged, so you have a complete trail of what happened and who signed it off — controlled by design, to UK data-protection standards. Where plain automation is the safer answer, we use that instead.
You've never worked in our industry — what's different about your approach?
We start with your business, agree a scope we can test and explain what your team needs to provide. Our reporting example uses fictional information to show how we approach missing updates, conflicting records and human review. Your proposal sets out responsibilities, ownership and handover before work starts.
How much does it cost, and could it balloon mid-project?
Your agreement defines launch, handover, correction and support arrangements. Ongoing monitoring and improvements require a separately agreed scope. Ownership, account access and third-party licences are explained before you commit.
Will this rip out the systems we already run?
Usually not. We're workflow-first and connect to the CRM, finance and document tools you already run, so information moves once instead of being re-keyed. We only replace something when you have genuinely outgrown it. The audit happens in week one, and most builds run from a couple of weeks up to around six, starting with the workflow that pays back fastest.
