If you can describe the task and write down the rules, it can be automated. The hard part is figuring out which tasks are actually worth it — and then building something your team will use instead of work around.
What we automate
Almost everything we build in this category lives in one of five buckets.
- Invoicing and quoting. Pull job data, generate the invoice or quote, route it for approval, send it, follow up if it's unpaid.
- Dispatch and scheduling. Take incoming requests, assign the right crew, account for travel time and equipment, push the schedule to the field.
- Document handling. Read inbound PDFs, contracts, permits, lab results — pull the fields you actually need, file the rest.
- Customer follow-up. Post-job review requests, status updates, win-back outreach. The stuff that drives reviews and repeat work but never happens because nobody has time.
- Reporting. Job-cost summaries, weekly P&L snapshots, leakage reports. Built off the data you already have, just nobody is rolling it up.
We pick the one that's costing you the most hours and start there.
How a typical engagement runs
Two to four weeks to a working pilot on one workflow. Six to ten weeks to having it in production with your team trained on it. We tune it for another month, then it's yours.
We don't bill a retainer for support you don't use. If something needs adjusting later, we fix it. If it's running clean, we step back.
Who this fits
Mid-market Alaska operators with steady volume and a repeatable workflow: GCs and MEP contractors, freight and logistics, healthcare practice groups, property management, food and bev distribution, Native corp subsidiaries running their own ops.
If you're a five-person shop, AI automation is usually not the first investment. If you're a 25-to-200-person operation losing real money to manual handling, this is where the ROI shows up fastest.
"Attu came to us, sat with our dispatchers, and built something that actually fit how we work. Within weeks our team was using it on their own — no hand-holding needed." — Samantha, United Freight & Transport
Questions we get
What kinds of work do you automate first?
The boring stuff that eats the most hours — invoicing, quoting, dispatch, status updates, document handling, follow-up. The work nobody wants to do that still has to happen every day.
Will this replace anyone on our team?
No. The goal is to give the people you have back the hours they were losing to repetitive work, not to shrink the team. The companies that do this well grow throughput without growing headcount.
How does this work with the tools we're already on?
We integrate with the systems you run — QuickBooks, Square, Jobber, ServiceTitan, your existing CRM. We do not ask you to switch platforms to make the automation work.
