Automating Admin in a Small Chichester Business: Reminders, Records and the Weekly Report
Admin is the work nobody sees until it is missed. Here is what can be automated, using a small vet practice as the picture.
For AI help to automate admin in a small Chichester business, Dean Keating builds agents that raise invoices, chase late payments, send reminders, copy details between systems and produce a weekly report, installed in your existing tools and done remotely from Horndean, Hampshire. Call or WhatsApp 07418 627304.
The invisible hours
Admin hours rarely appear in anyone’s plans. They live in evenings and early mornings: a reminder here, a record copied there, an invoice that waited a week.
A vet practice as the picture
The directory lists 15 vets (counted on 10 October 2026). Picture a small practice. Appointment reminders go out by hand. Owner details are typed into one system and then retyped into another. Invoices are raised at the end of the week. By Friday there is no time left to look at how the week went.
What can move off the desk
From Dean Keating’s website, the admin jobs he builds agents for:
- updates, confirmations and reminders
- copying details between systems
- raising invoices
- chasing late payments
- a weekly report
In the vet example, reminders go out by themselves, an owner’s details are entered once and carried across, invoices are raised when a job is done, and a summary lands at the end of the week.
What to keep human
Anything clinical, anything involving money you want to discuss and anything where a customer is upset. A late-payment chase should be polite, factual and stop when the payment arrives. You should be able to see what it sent.
Choose one
Do not try to automate all of it. His approach is to start with the single task that makes the most difference. For many small businesses that is reminders or invoices, because the saving shows quickly. Then add the rest.
What you get
A free first call about how the business runs. An audit of which tasks are worth automating. The build and install in the tools you already use. Training for the team and support after. You leave the first call with a plan you can use with or without him. The cost is given afterwards; there is no published price list.
