What we do
AI AUTOMATION FOR ESSEX BUSINESSES
07 Heaven Systems is an AI automation consultancy based in Westcliff-on-Sea, Southend, working with owner-managed businesses in Southend, Chelmsford and across Essex. We find the manual work that slows your team down, automate it with AI and workflow tools, and then stay until your team is actually using what we built.
We have been in business since 2006, and our core stack is n8n, Claude and HubSpot, connected to the tools you already run. We integrate with QuickBooks, Slack, Google Workspace and more than 40 other platforms, so the aim is to connect and automate what you have rather than rip it out and start again. If you want a feel for where to start, our guide to the automation workflows UK SMEs should build first is a good place.
What we build
REAL AUTOMATIONS, NOT DEMOS
AI screening
AI triage that reads incoming CVs or enquiries and filters them against your criteria before anyone opens them.
Intake and data entry
Enquiries pulled in, cleaned and enriched automatically, then routed to the right place without anyone copying and pasting.
Document generation
Templated Word and PDF documents created from your data in seconds, then filed in the right cloud folder.
Follow-up that runs itself
Automated follow-up so candidates, clients and leads hear back on time, every time.
Dashboards and reporting
Management dashboards that show live performance, so you stop chasing the team for updates.
Client portals and AI assistants
Live dashboards your clients can check themselves, with AI helpers supporting briefing and quality checks behind the scenes.
Every system comes with written procedures, so the knowledge stays in the business when we step back.
Who it is for
IS THIS YOU
We work best with UK businesses turning over £300k to £2M with 5 to 15 staff, typically in professional services: accountants, solicitors, consultants, HR firms, financial services and facilities management.
You do not need to know anything about AI. We explain it in plain English and handle the technical work. If you are weighing it up against a new hire, our piece on AI automation or another hire sets out when each makes sense.
- You are still the person every decision runs through
- Your team spends hours on admin a system should handle
- You have tried tools before and they never quite stuck
- You want something working in days, not months
- You want a local partner you can sit down with

Proof from real projects
RESULTS, NOT PROMISES
Recruitment agency, £42,000 a year saved. A recruitment agency was paying several virtual assistants to screen CVs and manage pipelines by hand. We put AI triage in front of CV screening, automated their recruitment pipeline, linked the website through to project management and added automated follow-ups and management dashboards. The system replaced three full-time VA roles and saves around £42,000 a year. Read the case study
Financial services firm in Southend. An automated intake now fires the welcome email, creates the CRM record, sends the document request and books the onboarding call the moment a contract is signed. Intake went from four days to under six hours, and the adviser got back roughly four billable hours per new client.
Marketing consultancy, real-time visibility for clients. We built a custom system with n8n automations, client portals, Google Workspace integration and AI assistants for briefing and quality checks. Clients can see progress whenever they want, and the update calls that used to eat into delivery time dropped. Read the case study

Questions people ask us
FAQ
Do I need to understand AI before we talk?
No. That is what we are here for. We explain everything in plain English and do the technical work ourselves.
Will I have to replace the software we already use?
Rarely. We work with what you already have wherever we can, whether that is HubSpot, Xero, Google Workspace or Slack, and connect it rather than replace it.
How quickly will we see something working?
A Rapid Results Sprint delivers a working automation within 5 working days of the briefing call. If it is not delivered in that time, we finish it at no extra cost.
What does AI automation cost?
Most businesses start with a Rapid Results Sprint at £495, a one-off build that gets the first automation live in 5 working days. An essentials setup across your CRM, project management and accounting system is £1,995, and larger projects run on a Systems Partnership at £2,495 a month.
What if my team will not use it?
That is why the adoption programme is part of every build. We train each role, track usage and deal with pushback, and we keep going until 90 per cent of your team is using the system.
Do you work with businesses in Chelmsford?
Yes. We are based in Westcliff-on-Sea and work with businesses in Southend, Chelmsford and across Essex, in person where it helps and online for everything else.
