About SmartScale.

A small team that fixes what's broken and builds what was never there. We do the work, then teach your team to run it, so the business runs without the owner holding it all together.

Who we work with.

  • Owner-managed businessesSmall to medium sized businesses with 2 to 50 people, where the owner has become the bottleneck.
  • Busy operationsSales, deliveries, reps, events, more than one location, or lots of enquiries coming in.
  • Held together by habitWhatsApp, spreadsheets, emails and memory doing jobs a proper system should do.

A small team. The right experts.

Over 40 years of experience across our team, in different fields and different industries. That's why we see the whole business, not just one corner of it.

When a job needs a specialist, we don't wing it. We bring in the right expert from our network and manage the project for you. One point of contact, start to finish.

Introduce yourself

How we work.

We watch before we build.

Nothing gets built until we've seen how the work really happens. The process document is rarely the process.

Bespoke, never boxed.

Every system is built around your business, your tools and your team. Not squeezed into a template.

Cheapest fix first.

A change in who does what often beats buying new software. Tools come last, not first.

Yours when we leave.

Written down and trained in, so your team can run it, change it and grow it without us.

What we're not.

  • Not an AI companyAI is one tool in the kit. We use it when it takes manual work off your people, and not before.
  • Not a software resellerWe don't take commission from any tool. If the answer is a tool, we'll tell you which one and what it costs to run.
  • Not a big consultancyNo steering committees and no 60-page reports. Practical work, a clear price, and a team that's trained when we leave.

Where it started.

Emer, founder of SmartScale

I've spent four years in sales, social media, virtual assistant work and freelancing, across a lot of different industries.

It all came together at an energy company, where for three years I ran deliveries, accounts, sales and scheduling for more than 600 customers. Routes, drivers, credit control, complaints, marketing. The full width of a business, every single day.

That's where I learned that real businesses are held together by workarounds. A second spreadsheet because the main system doesn't quite fit. A phone call to check a status. A list of special customers that lives in one person's head.

SmartScale exists to replace those workarounds with systems built for the business, and to teach the team to run them. Today our team brings over 40 years of experience between them, so the quality never depends on one person.
