Outport Automated Systems — Rocky Harbour, NL

What does your business actually need?

Two services. Both built on AI. Both built to save you time and find you money. Choose the path that fits where you are right now.


Path 1 — Any Small Business

AI Business Toolkit

A done-for-you package of custom AI tools built around your actual business. Not a template. Not a course. Built specifically for how you work, handed over ready to use.

A small business owner spending 3 hours a week on repetitive emails and admin is losing roughly $150 to $300 of billable time every week. This package costs a fraction of that and pays for itself fast. You are not buying technology. You are buying time back.

01

Custom AI Prompt Library

5 to 8 prompts written for your exact business. Client emails, quote responses, follow-ups, social captions. Copy, fill in two fields, done in seconds.

02

Google Sheet Workflow System

A spreadsheet built around your actual process. Client tracker, job status, invoice log. Formulas calculate, dropdowns replace typing, colour coding replaces memory.

03

Google Drive Folder System

Your entire business organized into a clean folder structure. Named consistently. Shared correctly. Most small businesses waste hours searching for files every week.

04

One Make.com Automation

One workflow that runs automatically without you touching it. A client submits your contact form and you instantly receive a formatted summary. Runs forever.

05

Standard Operating Procedure

Plain English instructions for everything built. Written so you can use it without calling anyone. This is what separates a professional deliverable from a freelance job.

Optional add-ons

+Monthly maintenance retainer

OAS was built because the financial back-office work that industrial and trades companies need has always required either a full-time hire or an expensive firm. Neither is realistic for most small NL operations.

The system that runs OAS combines 20+ years of field finance experience with AI and automation tools. Tracy builds and maintains every scenario, prompt, and integration. Clients submit data and approve actions. Everything else is handled.

The AI Toolkit service was built for a different client entirely — the solo operator and small service business that needs to stop spending evenings on admin and start spending them on the work they are actually good at.

Both services share one principle: you should not be doing by hand what a system can do automatically.
