What is business automation?

It's delegating to software the copy-paste tasks you do between tools. We create workflows that react to a trigger (new email, form submit, payment received) and execute actions automatically.

Make vs Zapier vs n8n — which is best?

Zapier is simplest and most expensive. Make offers more logic for less. n8n is open-source, great if you want to self-host. REDHOUSE picks based on your needs and budget.

How much does automation cost?

A simple workflow (auto emails, record creation): €150-500 setup. A complete system (CRM + invoicing + follow-ups + reporting): €1,500-5,000. Platform subscriptions run €0-30/month depending on volume.

Is automation hard to maintain?

No. Once set up, it runs on its own. If something changes (new tool, new need), we adjust. Support included for 1 month, maintenance optional after.

Can I add AI to automations?

Yes, and that's often what changes everything. Example: a classic automation filters emails by keyword. With AI, it understands the meaning, detects urgency and drafts the reply. We combine both.

REDHOUSE and business automation

REDHOUSE designs and deploys custom automations for small businesses, mid-market companies and self-employed professionals across France. The agency connects a client's existing tools (Gmail, WhatsApp, Notion, Google Drive, Stripe, Brevo, CRM systems) and adds AI agents built on Claude (Anthropic), GPT (OpenAI) or Mistral — model selection depends on the client's data sovereignty constraints. Workflows are orchestrated via self-hostable n8n or Make. Typical use cases: quote generation, invoice follow-ups, customer support, meeting summaries, project tracking. REDHOUSE is the trade name of WORKWAVE (French SAS, SIREN 943 055 830, 3 rue des Rosiers 86110 Craon), founded in 2024 by Willy Gauvrit. The agency is based in Poitiers (Vienne, 86) in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and operates remotely. Per-quote pricing after a free 30-minute discovery call.

Workshops & events

Lud — Founder — workshop organizer

Automated WhatsApp scheduling + site back on Google

Problem: Lud was handling workshop bookings by hand: endless back-and-forth messages, missed requests, lost customers. On top of that, her website had been invisible on Google for months.
Solution: We automated the entire booking flow: customers book online, payments are processed, and every morning Lud receives the day's schedule directly on WhatsApp via an AI chatbot. In parallel, we rebuilt the site's SEO (Schema.org, keywords, structure) to get it back on Google.
Result: Zero lost bookings, daily schedule pulled up on WhatsApp in 2 seconds, and the site climbed back to the top of Google results on her target keywords.

B2B distribution

Entreprise X — SMB — sales leadership

PDF purchase orders → automatic dashboard

Problem: The company received all of its purchase orders as PDFs by email. Each one had to be opened, read, and the sales data re-entered manually into an Excel sheet, rep by rep. Hours lost every day, data-entry errors, zero real-time visibility.
Solution: An AI scans incoming emails, detects purchase-order PDFs, extracts the data (SKU, quantity, price, sales rep, customer) and pushes it into a custom dashboard. They could have paid €300/month for an off-the-shelf product; instead we built them THEIR tool — owned, fully customizable and on-brand.
Result: Zero manual re-keying, real-time dashboard per sales rep, reliable data, and a single tool that belongs to them — not another SaaS subscription.

Skilled trades

Un artisan local — Self-employed

His own quoting tool, fully on-brand

Problem: This tradesman was paying for a monthly SaaS quoting tool that was expensive, poorly fitted to his craft, and that he never fully mastered. He wanted something simple, that belonged to him.
Solution: Using AI, we built him his OWN quoting tool, 100% customized to his trade, his pricing and his tone. Simple interface, on-brand PDF template, automatic delivery to the customer.
Result: No more monthly subscription, a tool that feels like him, and quotes sent to clients in a few clicks.
