The problem

Small businesses run on repeated manual work.

Every business has small tasks that quietly eat up time every day. Follow-ups, reports, reminders, inventory checks, customer messages, supplier updates, file sorting, and staff notes. Most of it doesn't need a new hire — it needs a system that handles it for you.

01

Scattered information

Customer notes, staff updates, files, and tasks live across texts, email, spreadsheets, and memory.

02

Missed follow-ups

Leads, quotes, orders, and customer replies get delayed because no one has time to chase every loose end.

03

Manual reporting

Owners want a daily picture of what's happening, but it's spread across tools and conversations.

04

Repetitive admin

The same checks, summaries, reminders, and updates happen over and over.

The solution

Set up systems that do the repeated work for you.

Minibox Labs looks at how your business runs, finds the work that repeats every week, builds the systems to handle it, and keeps them running month after month.

Every setup is different. We start by finding the repetitive work your team already does manually, then build small automations around those exact workflows.

How it works

How we get it working.

Five clear steps so you know exactly what happens.

1

Review your business

We look at how your business actually runs — your tools, files, team, recurring tasks, and the spots where work piles up.

2

Find the repeated work

We pick out the admin, reports, reminders, and handoffs that happen again and again.

3

Set it up

We set up the right system for your business — on a dedicated computer, online, or both.

4

Build and test

We build the automations, reports, and reminders, then test them with your real work.

5

Maintain and improve

We keep the system running, fix issues, and make small changes as your business changes.

How the system runs

Built around how your business actually operates

Some businesses need a dedicated computer in the office. Some run better online. Some need both. We set up whichever fits your business best.

Dedicated business computer

A small computer (like a Mac mini) set up and maintained for your business, kept in your office or back room.

Online setup

Everything runs online. No computer needed in your office.

Local + online setup

A computer in your office for the things that need to stay private, plus online for everything else.

Pricing model

Simple pricing based on what you need built.

Every business is different, so we price based on what you actually need set up and maintained.

Phase 1

Setup fee

Reviewing your business, mapping the work, setting up the system, installing the tools, and planning what to build.

// quoted based on complexity
Ongoing

Monthly support

Keeping it running, fixing issues, making small improvements, and adjusting things as your business changes.

// monthly support

Most businesses start with an initial setup, then continue with monthly support.

Why it works

AI only helps when it's actually built into your business.

Most small businesses don't need another app to log into. They need someone to find the repeated work, build the system, test it, and keep it running.

FAQ

Common questions

Quick answers to what most owners ask before booking a Workflow Review.

Is this just a chatbot?
No. A chatbot can be part of it, but most of what we set up is the quiet work — scheduled checks, reports, reminders, summaries, and small automations that run in the background.
Do we need our own hardware?
Not always. Some businesses use a small computer in the office. Others run everything online. Some use both. The right setup depends on your business and how private your work needs to be.
What kinds of tasks can be automated?
Things like customer message summaries, quote follow-ups, daily reports, inventory checks, review tracking, staff reminders, supplier updates, website checks, and file sorting.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what we build for you. Most businesses pay an upfront setup cost and then a monthly support fee.
What happens if something breaks?
Monthly support covers fixes, updates, and small adjustments so the system keeps working as your business changes.
Will this replace my staff?
No. The goal is to take the boring repeated work off your team's plate so they can focus on the work that actually matters.
Can you work with my existing tools?
Usually, yes. It depends on what tools you use and what access we can get. The first step is a quick look at how you currently work.

Give your business a second set of hands.

If your team repeats the same admin, reports, reminders, and follow-ups every week, we can turn that work into a system that runs itself.
