Sorted Automation helps South African SMEs fix the operational problems that enterprise consultants overlook and cheap freelancers can't solve.
Hi, I'm Nick
I've spent over a decade working in operations, process improvement, and business systems — across industries from manufacturing and professional services to tech and retail. The common thread: businesses that are good at what they do, but held back by how they run. The processes are informal. The knowledge lives in one person's head. The compliance is a best guess.
Enterprise consultants exist to solve these problems — but they speak a language built for boardrooms, and they charge prices built for corporates. That leaves most South African SMEs without access to the kind of operational rigour that actually makes a difference.
That's the gap I work in. Structured methodology, hands-on delivery, plain language — at a scale that works for owner-managed businesses.

What drives how we work
The principles behind every engagement.
Rigour
Structured methodology, not guesswork. Problems are diagnosed before solutions are proposed. We use proven operational frameworks — not opinions.
Clarity
Fixed scope. Plain language. No surprises. You know exactly what you're getting, what it costs, and what it will do for your business.
Delivery
We don't just advise and leave. We build, implement, and hand over. The measure of success is whether your business actually runs better.
Why South Africa?
South Africa has a well-documented gap in the market. On one side: expensive enterprise consultants, built for corporates, priced for boardrooms. On the other: cheap freelancers who can execute tasks but can't diagnose problems.
Most SMEs sit in neither camp. They need strategic thinking and hands-on delivery, at a price that reflects their scale. That's exactly where we operate.
SA businesses deserve better access to operational expertise
You shouldn't need an enterprise budget to access structured operational consulting
You shouldn't receive a report and be left to implement it alone
You shouldn't have to navigate compliance in isolation, without clear guidance
Got any questions?
