Your business is growing. Now your way of working grows with it.

Cobrains builds the workflow that holds your business process together from start to finish, on top of the systems you already use.

  • ControlAgreements become rules the system enforces.
  • InsightEvery step in the process is a data point.
  • TimeLess searching, chasing and double entry.
  • GrowthA foundation that grows with your business.

01 / Sound familiar?

It's not the people.

In many growing businesses, work runs on spreadsheets, inboxes, loose lists and the memory of a few experienced colleagues. That works, until it doesn't.

  • A request sits unanswered.
  • Data is entered twice, in two systems.
  • A document expires without anyone noticing.
  • Nobody knows exactly where things stand.

The agreements exist, but nothing enforces them.

Whether it's a staffing agency, a technical services firm or a consultancy, the pattern is the same. There is no single place that holds the process together. And without it, there is no control and no insight.

02 / What we build

One place that holds the work together.

We build a custom workflow: the backbone of your business process, shaped around the way your company works.

  • One record, one source of truth

    Everything about a client, employee or assignment in one place, for everyone who works on it.

  • Checks where they matter

    A step only moves forward when the conditions are met. Agreements become rules.

  • Signals before things go wrong

    Stalled work, expiring documents and approaching deadlines stand out before they become a problem.

  • A complete history

    Who did what, and when. No searching, no chasing.

03 / Built in layers

Start solid, then expand.

We start with a core that works from day one, and build on it once it is in place.

  1. Layer 01

    Backbone

    The workflow itself. It works from the first day, even without integrations.

  2. Layer 02

    Integrations

    Connections to the systems you already use, such as your accounting, payroll and Microsoft 365. First reading data, then creating and updating it as well.

  3. Layer 03

    Insight

    Every step in the process is a data point. You see lead times, bottlenecks, and where the work and the money are.

  4. Layer 04

    AI assistant

    Draft messages, summaries and risk signals. Only once the process and the data are in order.

04 / How we work

Our process. Step by step.

You see what is coming before anything is built.

  1. Step 01

    Listen

    We map your process as it really runs, not as it looks on paper.

  2. Step 02

    Design

    We work out the new way of working, with the steps, roles and checks that come with it.

  3. Step 03

    Show

    You click through a demo of your own process before anything is built.

  4. Step 04

    Build

    Step by step, with something that works after every step.

05 / Why Cobrains

The approach of large organisations, at SME scale.

The methods large organisations use to manage their processes, applied at the scale and budget of a small or mid-sized business.

  • On top of what you already have

    No extra system on the side, and no replacement of your administration. Your existing software and Microsoft 365 stay where they are.

  • In your own Microsoft environment

    The solution runs on Microsoft Azure, within your own environment. Your data stays yours.

  • Design, build and support under one roof

    One dedicated point of contact who knows your process, from the first conversation to long after delivery.

06 / Our view on AI

AI starts with the foundation.

AI will change a great deal about how businesses work. But AI is only as good as the process and the data underneath it.

That is why we start with the foundation: a process that works and data you can trust. That is where AI adds real value.
