Automating isn't coding: it's prioritising

Anyone can build a workflow; the hard part is knowing which one is worth it. We start by measuring what each manual process costs in hours and errors, and automate in order of return. First what shows most in your P&L; the rest, later or never.

What we automate

Processes that start running themselves

  • 01

    Lead capture and sales

    Form to CRM with no hands: lead intake, qualification, routing to the right salesperson and automatic follow-up. No contact goes cold for arriving on a Friday at 8pm.

    • Leads
    • CRM
    • Follow-ups
    • Scoring
  • 02

    Reporting and data

    Reports that generate and send themselves, alerts when a number goes off-range and data consolidated from several sources without opening a spreadsheet.

    • Reports
    • Alerts
    • KPIs
    • Consolidation
  • 03

    Marketing and communication

    Welcome emails, cart recovery, scheduled publishing, answers to frequent questions. Your marketing keeps working when your team is off.

    Automation with AI

    When a process needs judgement, we put artificial intelligence in the flow: classify, summarise, draft, decide. Automation stops following rules and starts reasoning.

    • AI in the flow
    • Classification
    • Drafting
    • Decision

    Operations and back-office

    Invoices issued and reconciled, orders updating stock, documents filed where they belong. Admin work without admins dedicated to copying it.

    • Invoicing
    • Orders
    • Documents
    • ERP
  • 06

    Process audit and training

    We map your operations, calculate what each manual task costs and prioritise by return. And we train your team to maintain and extend the flows on their own.

Why do so many brands trust our agency?

Talking to other agencies? Oh… we’re sorry.

3 real reasons why we’re different from the rest.

Equipo de Palo Seco celebrando con el botón de plata de YouTube
Pedro, CEO de Palo SecoHow can we help you?
Let’s talk
  1. Always one step ahead

    1. We set the trend and innovate

    We do not do the same old marketing. We are pioneers at optimizing on platforms others do not even know are possible: we get ChatGPT to recommend our clients’ websites, we work SEO on YouTube and we automate processes with n8n that save thousands of hours a year.

  2. We live marketing… and we teach it

    2. References in Marketing, AI and UX

    We do not just apply what we know: we teach it, prove it and share it. We are educators with over 500,000 followers, Pedro and Oscar teach at universities such as UPC, EAE Business School and UPV, and we run our own academy with 2,000+ members.

  3. Partners of the leading software

    3. We work with the most TOP brands

    We are official partners of the most recognized software in the industry, such as TikTok, Elementor, Semrush and Raiola Networks. That means priority access, direct support and certified best practices: faster implementations, stronger integrations and more reliable results.

How we work

How we automate, in three principles

01

The diagnosis

Your team isn't slow: it's busy with the wrong work.

Most companies lose 10 to 30 hours a week on tasks a machine would do for free.

Moving form data into the CRM. Copying figures into a report. Forwarding the same email for the tenth time. None of those tasks needs a person; they're only assigned to one because nobody built the alternative.

That's what an automation agency is for: taking everything that doesn't require human judgement off your team's desk, with processes that don't get distracted, don't get sick and don't go on holiday.

02

The method

Audit, automate, measure. In that order.

Every flow we build has a number in front of it and a number behind it.

Before building anything we measure: which processes exist, how many hours they consume and what errors they cause. With that we prioritise by return and build first the flow that gives the most money back.

After building, we measure again: hours recovered, errors avoided, response speed. If a flow underperforms, it gets adjusted or switched off. Automating for its own sake is nobody's business — except whoever sells it to you.

03

The tool comes last

We choose the technology for your case, not the other way round.

We work with the leading automation platforms and with code when needed.

Every company has a different ecosystem, and forcing a single tool is starting the house from the roof. Depending on your case we use visual workflow platforms, API integrations or custom development — and if you need full control of your data, we deploy on your own infrastructure, GDPR-compliant.

And the flows are yours: documented and handed over. No black boxes, no eternal dependency on us.

What your company gains by automating

Automation isn't a technical whim: it's the cheapest way to grow without hiring.

  1. 01

    Hours back every week

    The repetitive work runs itself and the time goes back to your team. It's the most measurable investment there is: hours for money, week after week.

  2. 02

    Fewer errors, more consistency

    A workflow doesn't get distracted on a Friday afternoon or miscopy a figure. Remove the manual work and incidents plummet.

  3. 03

    Scale without growing headcount

    When operations run themselves, handling twice the orders or leads doesn't demand twice the people. You break the linear link between growing and hiring.

  4. 04

    Immediate response, 24/7

    The lead that arrives at midnight gets an answer at midnight. Automation has no working hours, and response speed is sales.

No fluff, no strings

Tried it before and it didn’t work? This is how we work.

  1. 01

    We work with measurable goals (KPIs).

    We do not hide behind 50-page reports full of vanity metrics. We set real indicators from day one: more sales, more bookings and more qualified leads. If it does not impact your bottom line, it is not real marketing.

  2. 02

    Continuous contact: we are here for whatever you need.

    Forget endless support tickets or talking to a sales rep who has no idea what happens on your site. You get fluid, constant communication with the specialists who execute your strategy, working as an extension of your own team.

  3. 03

    No lock-in: no fine print.

    We do not believe in fine print or holding clients hostage with 12-month contracts. Our best guarantee is work done well. If you stay with us, it is because you see your business grow month after month. Total freedom, absolute transparency.

FAQ

Questions about automation?

We’re here to answer them. And if any remain, let’s talk.

Talk to an expert
What is an automation agency?

An automation agency is a company that designs and implements workflows that execute repetitive tasks without human intervention: moving data between applications, replying to messages, generating reports or sending alerts. At Palo Seco we also audit your processes first, so we only automate what has a clear return — and we measure the hours recovered afterwards.

Which business processes can be automated?

Almost any repetitive digital process: lead intake and routing, sales follow-ups, marketing emails, report generation, invoicing, stock updates, document filing or internal alerts. The practical rule: if a task always follows the same steps and needs no human judgement, it can be automated. And if it needs some judgement, it can be automated with AI.

How much does it cost to automate processes with an agency?

It depends on the number and complexity of the flows: a simple automation starts at a few hundred euros; a complete capture or back-office system, at several thousand. That's why we start with an audit that tells you what to automate, what it costs and how many hours it returns — so you decide with the return in front of you, not blind.

What's the difference between automation and artificial intelligence?

Automation executes fixed rules: if A happens, do B. Artificial intelligence adds judgement: it can read, classify, summarise or decide when cases aren't identical. In practice they combine — the workflow moves the data and the AI provides the judgement. If your case calls for more AI than automation, we'll tell you.

Which automation tools do you work with?

With the leading workflow platforms —n8n, Make, Zapier— and with custom development when the case demands it. We choose based on your ecosystem and data requirements: if you need full control, we deploy self-hosted n8n on your own infrastructure. We have a team specialised in n8n with its own working methodology.

How long until we see results?

The first flows are usually running within one or two weeks; a complete system, in one or two months. We ship in short cycles: every few weeks a new automation goes live and you can measure its recovered hours, instead of waiting months for a big launch.
