Retire the Manual Handoffs Your Team Repeats Every Day.
Samford Labs automates the approval chains, follow-ups, data entry, and status updates your team still does by hand — with rules your staff can change without a developer. Every automation is fixed-scope from $5,000, measured with before-and-after numbers, and documented so your team owns it.
What does Business Process Automation include?
Approval chains, follow-ups, and status updates that run themselves
Rules your staff change without a deploy — thresholds, routing, and logic in an admin interface
Before-and-after metrics on every automation
How does a fixed-scope engagement work?
Every engagement follows the same four steps: a free assessment that maps your workflow, a fixed-scope proposal with a defined deliverable and price, a collaborative build where you see working software early and often, and a documented handover your team owns outright. Scope changes are re-approved before they cost anything.
How much does it cost?
Engagements start at $5,000, with no upper cap — the ceiling is your scope, not our menu. At the floor, that’s one manual workflow retired — trigger to completion, with staff-editable rules and before/after metrics. Timelines are stated honestly in the proposal: weeks, not quarters, for the typical engagement.
What have you actually built?
Shipped systems, in production — some for clients, some products of our own. See all past work.
Built and run in-house
Collect
Document-collection platform we built and run. Send one magic link; your client completes forms, uploads, and e-signatures from their phone — no login — and you download one organized package. In production at collect.samfordlabs.com.
One magic link → one organized package
For a multi-service firm
Client Intake Platform
Guided intake wizard, token-based reviewer portal, and an admin console with rules staff edit themselves — no deploy needed. Intake went from days to under 15 minutes, with zero lost forms.

Common questions about Business Process Automation
How much does business process automation cost?
One manual workflow automated end to end starts at $5,000 — trigger to completion, with staff-editable rules and before-and-after metrics. Larger multi-workflow programs are scoped fixed after the free assessment.
Which processes should we automate first?
The ones your team repeats most and dreads most: approval chains, follow-ups, status updates, re-keying between systems. The free assessment ranks your candidates by hours saved, not by what’s technically interesting.
Can our staff change the automation without a developer?
Yes — that’s a design requirement, not an add-on. Rules, thresholds, and routing live in an admin interface your team edits directly; changes take effect without a deploy.
How do we know the automation actually worked?
Every automation ships with before-and-after metrics: hours saved, error rates, turnaround time. You’ll see the baseline measured before we build and the delta after it goes live.
