Most local service businesses that use TimeBack save between 3 and 8 hours a week. The biggest time savings come from three tasks: sending staff rosters (typically 30-60 minutes per week), chasing overdue invoices (30-90 minutes), and logging new client enquiries into a spreadsheet or CRM (15-30 minutes). These three automations are the most common starting points. Setup takes one to two weeks, and the automations run independently without any ongoing manual input from you.

Start with the task you do most often that follows a predictable pattern. For a lot of service businesses in Sydney, that ends up being something like replying to new enquiries, sending overdue invoice reminders, or getting rosters out to staff. But it really depends on your business. If you do it repeatedly every week and it follows the same steps each time, it's worth automating. Those are exactly the conditions where automation delivers immediate, reliable results.

You can DIY it, and tools like n8n and Zapier are more accessible than they used to be. But most business owners who try it end up spending weeks watching tutorials, building something that half-works, and then abandoning it when something breaks and they don't know how to fix it. TimeBack handles the build, the testing, and the ongoing fixes. You just tell me what's eating your time and I take it from there.

Yes, I'm based in Sydney and available to meet onsite across Greater Sydney. That matters more than it sounds. Most automation services are fully remote or offshore, which means when something breaks or needs adjusting, you're raising a support ticket and waiting. With TimeBack you get someone who can sit down with you, understand how your business actually runs, and build something that fits. Not a generic template shipped from overseas.

Most automations are up and running within one to two weeks. The first week is usually discovery and build, where I map out exactly what needs to happen and wire it together. The second week is testing with real data to make sure it runs cleanly before you rely on it. More complex setups involving multiple tools or approval steps can take a little longer, but I'll give you a clear timeframe before we start.

Every business is different, so I don't publish a fixed price list. What you pay depends on what you need automated, how many tools are involved, and how much time it saves you. The first conversation is free and there's no obligation. Reach out and we'll work out whether it makes sense for your situation before any money is discussed.
