Step 1 of 5

A good enquiry reaches the right person.

Incoming informationSample

A prospective client asks for help with reporting across three offices.

How it works · who decides

The system helps

Keep the request together, record where it came from and assign an owner.

Your team decides

Check whether the work is a good fit and decide who should respond.

AI services and wider growth support

How the systems
fit together.

This hub brings Ampliflow’s AI services into one place, alongside related growth websites and business dashboards. Start with the business need you want to address; not every company needs every system below.

  1. Be found

    Make your offer easier to find and understand.

  2. Respond

    Support calls and bookings, with a clear handover to a person.

  3. Equip your team

    Connect repeat steps and make company knowledge easier to find, with sources attached.

  4. Make informed decisions

    Bring pipeline, revenue, marketing and operations into one clear view.

Hypothetical workspace

Find the work
already within reach.

Invented sample data and fixed rules. No live AI, no sending, no real financial figures.

Explore a fictional consultancy across three offices. Change a source record, inspect the finding, then prepare the team’s weekly action brief.

  1. 01 · Inspect the sources
  2. 02 · Check the findings
  3. 03 · Prepare the actions

8 unique records · 4 follow-ups · 2 checks · 2 with no action suggested. Counts describe demo findings, not sales or revenue.

What would AI add in a real system?

AI could help interpret authorised notes and prepare drafts grounded in source records. This demonstration uses fixed rules instead. A real implementation needs permissions, source validation, human approval and testing with your team. No result here is a promise of customer growth.

Built by Ampliflow

One enquiry.
A connected product.

Cellbot brings repair enquiries, pricebook-led quotations, booking and customer tracking into one product.

  1. Repair request
  2. Pricebook-led quote
  3. Booking
  4. Customer tracking

The important detail: a quotation needs the device, repair and shop’s price to agree. Connecting steps is useful only when the information is right.

Make the first step useful

One real problem.
Something you can check.

Bring the messy version: the spreadsheet, the repeated question, the handover that keeps slipping. That is a useful place to start.

  1. 01

    Follow the work

    Where does it start? Who takes over? What gets copied, chased or lost?

  2. 02

    Test the awkward bits

    Missing details. A changed request. Someone away. Check these alongside the happy path.

  3. 03

    Check what improved

    Compare the time, outstanding work and mistakes against the starting point.

Sometimes your existing software already has the answer. It is worth checking before building something new.

12 examples
01Enquiries

Give every enquiry an owner

Keep a new enquiry moving, even when the person who first sees it is busy.
  1. 01

    An enquiry arrives through an agreed channel.

  2. 02

    The details are recorded and assigned to the right person.

  3. 03

    A reply is drafted and an unanswered enquiry becomes a follow-up task.

What you need
A shared inbox or enquiry form, a customer record and an agreed person responsible for each type of request.
What stays with you
Your team approves prices, availability and commitments before a reply goes out.
If something goes wrong
Missing details or an uncertain match go to a review queue. An unassigned enquiry alerts the fallback owner.
What to measure
Time to a useful reply, unassigned enquiries and completed follow-ups.
Where AI helps
AI can organise a free-text enquiry and draft a reply. Assignment and reminders can follow fixed rules.
Check your existing software
Check the assignment and reminder features in your current customer-management software first.
02Enquiries

Follow up a missed call

Turn a missed call into a visible next step for your team.
  1. 01

    Your supported phone system records a missed call.

  2. 02

    A callback task is created, with an approved acknowledgement where appropriate.

  3. 03

    A person follows up and records the outcome.

What you need
A phone system that exposes missed-call events, contact rules and someone responsible for callbacks.
What stays with you
You set contact hours, message wording and which calls should receive a response.
If something goes wrong
Withheld numbers and repeated calls are flagged instead of triggering repeated messages.
What to measure
Callbacks completed, time to callback and enquiries recovered.
Where AI helps
A missed-call task normally needs rules, not AI. AI call handling is a separate decision.
Check your existing software
Check your phone system's missed-call notifications before adding another connection.
03Customers

Remind customers about bookings

Help booked customers remember their visit and tell you when plans change.
  1. 01

    A booking is confirmed in your booking system.

  2. 02

    Its current status is checked before a reminder is due.

  3. 03

    The customer receives the agreed details and a way to change or cancel.

What you need
A booking system, correct contact details and agreed reminder and cancellation rules.
What stays with you
You decide the timing and wording. Special requests go to a person.
If something goes wrong
Cancelled or changed bookings suppress the old reminder. Failed delivery is made visible to the team.
What to measure
No-shows, cancellations received in time and reminder delivery failures.
Where AI helps
Ordinary reminders use dates and rules. AI is not needed to remember a booking.
Check your existing software
Look for reminders in the booking software you already pay for. Check plan and messaging costs.
04Enquiries

Follow up an unanswered quote

See which quotations still need a conversation, without searching through your sent emails.
  1. 01

    A quotation is sent and its status recorded.

  2. 02

    After your agreed interval, the status is checked again.

  3. 03

    An unanswered quote creates a follow-up task or a draft message.

What you need
A reliable quote record, agreed follow-up intervals and a named owner.
What stays with you
A person handles objections, changes to the scope and any discount or price decision.
If something goes wrong
Accepted, declined and disputed quotes stop the reminder sequence. Missing status goes to review.
What to measure
Quotes followed up, response rate and accepted quotations.
Where AI helps
AI can draft a contextual message; it should not invent a new offer or concession.
Check your existing software
Check quote reminders and tasks in your current sales software.
05Operations

Chase overdue invoices

Prepare the right reminder after checking whether the invoice still needs paying.
  1. 01

    An invoice passes its agreed due date.

  2. 02

    Payment and dispute records are checked.

  3. 03

    An eligible invoice receives the approved reminder or becomes a review task.

What you need
Accurate invoice and payment records, agreed payment terms and a way to record disputes.
What stays with you
Your team handles disputes, payment plans and changes to terms. The workflow does not move money.
If something goes wrong
Pause reminders when payment data is unavailable or a dispute is open. Ask a person to check.
What to measure
Overdue invoices, manual chasing time and incorrect reminders.
Where AI helps
Dates and balances can use fixed rules. AI may help draft a reply for review.
Check your existing software
Xero already offers invoice reminders. Check your accounting software before commissioning a custom workflow.
06Operations

Know when stock is running low

Get a useful warning while there is still time to check and reorder.
  1. 01

    Recorded stock falls below a threshold you choose.

  2. 02

    The item and location are checked against the latest stock record.

  3. 03

    The person responsible receives an alert and decides what to order.

What you need
Accurate stock records, agreed thresholds and someone responsible for ordering.
What stays with you
A person checks pack sizes, supplier lead times and budget before any purchase.
If something goes wrong
Stale or unavailable stock data creates a check request, not an automatic order.
What to measure
Stockouts, useful alerts and time spent checking stock.
Where AI helps
A threshold alert uses rules. Forecasting demand is a different, more data-dependent task.
Check your existing software
Square supports low-stock alerts. Check your till or inventory software first.
07Operations

See the day in one summary

Bring agreed sales, enquiries and open tasks into a short report with links to the source.
  1. 01

    The agreed reporting period closes.

  2. 02

    Available records are collected and totals checked.

  3. 03

    The owner receives a summary of activity and items needing attention.

What you need
Reliable source records, agreed definitions and access to the relevant reports.
What stays with you
You choose what matters and check the source before making a commercial decision.
If something goes wrong
Missing data is labelled unavailable, not counted as zero. Failed collection alerts the report owner.
What to measure
Report preparation time, missing-data incidents and actions completed.
Where AI helps
AI can summarise verified figures. Calculations should use the underlying records, not generated guesses.
Check your existing software
Try your current software's scheduled reports before combining multiple systems.
08Enquiries

Sort customer messages

Separate orders, questions and complaints so the right person can respond.
  1. 01

    A message arrives in the shared inbox.

  2. 02

    Its topic is suggested and the original message retained.

  3. 03

    It goes to the appropriate queue, with uncertain messages marked for review.

What you need
A shared inbox, clear categories and an owner for unclassified messages.
What stays with you
People can correct categories. Complaints and sensitive requests have a human review path.
If something goes wrong
An uncertain classification stays visible in the review queue; it is not silently archived.
What to measure
Routing accuracy, oldest unanswered message and time spent sorting.
Where AI helps
AI can interpret varied wording; simple sender and subject rules may already cover much of the work.
Check your existing software
Check shared-inbox labels, rules and assignment features first.
09Customers

Draft answers to repeat questions

Use approved business information to prepare an answer your team can check.
  1. 01

    A customer asks a familiar question.

  2. 02

    The relevant approved information is located.

  3. 03

    A draft answer and its source are shown to the person replying.

What you need
Current approved answers, a source owner and clear limits on what may be answered.
What stays with you
Your team checks the draft. Prices, stock and policies need current authoritative information.
If something goes wrong
If the source is missing or contradictory, ask a person. Do not fill the gap with an invented answer.
What to measure
Draft accuracy, corrections and handling time.
Where AI helps
AI can find and draft from approved information, with sources attached and human review.
Check your existing software
Saved replies may be enough if you answer only a few repeated questions.

Tell customers an order is ready

Keep collection messages tied to the real order status.
  1. 01

    Your team marks an order ready for collection.

  2. 02

    The customer and order reference are checked.

  3. 03

    The approved collection message is prepared or sent through the agreed channel.

What you need
A reliable ready-for-collection status, correct customer details and collection instructions.
What stays with you
The team confirms the order is actually ready and handles substitutions or changes.
If something goes wrong
Missing contact details create a staff task. Duplicate status updates must not send duplicate messages.
What to measure
Uncollected orders, status enquiries and failed notifications.
Where AI helps
This is normally a status-and-rules workflow; AI is not required.
Check your existing software
Check collection notifications in your existing ordering platform.

Ask for feedback after the job

Give genuine customers a consistent way to tell you how things went.
  1. 01

    A completed job or purchase is confirmed.

  2. 02

    The customer is checked against your contact and suppression rules.

  3. 03

    A feedback request is prepared and responses reach the right person.

What you need
A verified completion record, appropriate contact permissions and a feedback destination.
What stays with you
Your team reviews wording and responds to concerns. Do not filter public-review invitations by sentiment.
If something goes wrong
Cancelled jobs and customers who should not be contacted are excluded. Complaints go to a person.
What to measure
Feedback responses, issues resolved and requests sent in error.
Where AI helps
AI may summarise responses for review; sending a request can follow fixed rules.
Check your existing software
Your booking or customer-management software may already support feedback requests.
12Customers

Reconnect with past customers

Find appropriate opportunities to start a useful conversation again.
  1. 01

    A suitable past-customer group is identified.

  2. 02

    Contact permissions, recent activity and exclusions are checked.

  3. 03

    A reviewed campaign is prepared and responses are assigned to a person.

What you need
Accurate customer records, valid contact permissions and an approved reason to get in touch.
What stays with you
You approve the audience and message. No discounts or offers are invented.
If something goes wrong
Uncertain permissions or incomplete suppression data stop the campaign for review.
What to measure
Qualified replies and repeat orders, compared with customers who did not receive the campaign where practical.
Where AI helps
AI can help draft messages for review. Clear rules should decide who gets them—and who does not.
Check your existing software
Check segmentation and scheduled campaigns in your current email platform.

These are illustrative workflows, not a list of pre-built integrations. We check your software, the rules and the exceptions before agreeing a scope.

Where AI belongs

Rules for the routine.
AI for the messy bits.

A booking reminder follows a date. An invoice reminder checks a balance. Neither needs AI. Reading a varied customer message or drafting from approved information may benefit from it.

Choose a useful first workflow
01

A fixed rule

If the next step is predictable, keep it predictable. Dates, assignments and reminders can follow agreed rules.

02

Help with interpretation

AI can help organise varied messages or prepare a draft from approved information.

03

A person's judgement

Your team approves commitments, resolves uncertainty and handles decisions that need care.

Before you start

A few useful questions.

What should we automate first?

The best first workflow is usually repetitive, frustrating and easy to describe: lead routing, report building, invoice handling, inbox triage, CRM updates or customer onboarding. We start there before building anything bigger.

Will this work with our current software?

Usually, yes. If your tools have an API, webhook, export, shared inbox or database access, we can normally connect them. If the software is awkward, we will say that during scoping instead of hiding it inside the build.

Can AI make decisions in the workflow?

Yes, but we are careful about where AI belongs. It is useful for classifying, summarising, drafting and routing. Human approval stays in place for sensitive decisions, money movement, legal risk or anything that needs judgement.

How do we know the automation is reliable?

We build around real examples, test exceptions, add logging and define what happens when something fails. A good automation should either complete the work or alert the right person with enough context to act.

Do we own the automation?

That depends on the systems involved and what is agreed for the project. Before work begins, ask who controls the accounts, what your team can change and what the handover covers.

One useful starting point

Where does the work
get stuck?

You do not need a technical brief. Tell us what keeps getting chased, copied or lost, and we can work through the sensible next step together.

What should I bring to a clarity chat?

One example of the problem, the tools involved and who currently handles it. Tool names and a description are enough to start; keep customer details and access credentials private.

Useful questions to work through: can your existing software handle it, what needs a human check, and what would show that the change helped? Scope, access and commercial terms need agreement before a build.
