Canvo is a founder-led AI automation agency for Australian operating teams of roughly 20–100 people. I observe the real workflow, set a baseline, then deploy one measurable system with human controls, failure handling and a clean handover.
These four consoles mirror systems I built for my own business: a daily owner brief, enquiry triage, data synchronisation and venue monitoring. Below them are growth and marketing workflows I have also built. Names, messages and figures have been replaced with demo data.
High-stakes actions — sending customer emails, quoting, editing records — stay behind human approval. The AI only classifies, organises and drafts.
Rules are enforced in code: missing vendor falls back to a default, price swings over 20% never auto-publish, duplicates get merged.
The same structure works for any business with physical assets: fridge temperature, printers, terminals, stock-outs, booking anomalies.
These systems collect evidence first, then prepare recommendations or drafts. Publishing, budget changes and customer communication remain human-approved.
Note: these interfaces and workflows show categories, structures and interactions I have built. All figures, customer details and device IDs are fabricated demo data and do not represent a real client or real trading outcome; some growth workflows still require human verification and approval. In real engagements, your data stays yours.
Information is scattered, key processes still depend on the owner, and staff repeat the same admin because the systems do not talk to each other.
Enquiries live in email, WeChat and individual staff phones. Replies get missed, follow-ups never happen, quotes disappear into silence.
Two hours a day copying numbers between systems into a spreadsheet — and at the end of it, still no clear picture of what is really happening.
The process lives in the owner's head. New staff ask the same questions over and over, handover is verbal, and things break the moment you are not on site.
POS, bookings, spreadsheets, CRM and accounting never speak to each other — so a human becomes the integration layer.

This is not a cheap template subscription or a layered enterprise consultancy. You work directly with the founder who diagnoses, builds, tests and hands over the system. Scope, costs and success measures are written down before work starts.
If we both agree to proceed, the A$950 is fully credited against the deployment. You can also take the diagnostic and stop there.
Ongoing care starts at A$490/month, but it is not a required subscription. Software, API, model and hosting costs are itemised separately.
Each stage has a clear go or no-go decision. One conversation does not push you into a large implementation.
Bring one real workflow to a free 20-minute conversation. First decide whether automation is justified — before selling technology.
Observe the work, capture the baseline, exceptions and risks, then deliver an implementation-ready workflow brief.
Deploy one bounded workflow with approvals, permissions, logs, alerts and a defined recovery path.
Compare before-and-after data, train the team and hand over documentation. Expand only when the evidence supports it.
Low price, but the operation must adapt to the template. Exceptions, permissions and failure handling are often left to your team.
Work directly with the founder from observed operations to a system your team can measure, control and eventually own.
I run a physical small business in Melbourne and have lived these problems myself: staff communication, invisible numbers, processes that exist only in the owner's head, customer information scattered everywhere, and systems that refuse to talk to each other.
I built each category shown above inside my own business first, use it daily and fix it when it breaks. This is not ChatGPT training or a flashy AI demo that gets abandoned after launch.
My technology and commerce background means I consider how the system is built alongside cost, return, staff adoption and ongoing ownership. You work directly with the person who diagnoses, builds, tests and hands over the system — not layers of people removed from the operation.
Canvo is best suited to Australian operating teams of roughly 20–100 people that already have software and data, but still rely on people to carry information between systems. Common fits include multi-site operations, wholesale and trade, professional services, property and field services, retail and hospitality. If an off-the-shelf tool can solve it, I will recommend the simpler option.
A real workflow diagnostic means observing the work, measuring the baseline, mapping exceptions and risks, and producing an implementation-ready scope. It is not a sales call. The A$950 is fully credited if you proceed, and the diagnostic remains yours if you do not.
No. Connecting what you already use comes first. A replacement is only discussed when the current system genuinely cannot deliver the outcome — and the migration cost is put on the table with it.
High-risk actions are never automatic by default. Approvals, permission limits, audit logs and anomaly alerts are all available. In most setups the AI classifies, organises and drafts — a human still presses send.
The workflow diagnostic is A$950; a first production workflow starts at A$4,900; broader cross-system deployments typically range from A$9,500–18,000. Ongoing care starts at A$490/month but is not mandatory. Build cost, third-party subscriptions and expected running cost are itemised separately.
Client-specific code, configuration, documentation and handover materials are delivered per scope. Generic frameworks and reusable components stay with me — but you are never locked in: you can maintain it yourself or hand it to someone else at any time.
At application stage you never need to send passwords, full customer lists or financial statements. In an engagement, data access follows the minimum-necessary principle, sensitive fields can be masked or processed locally, and permissions and logs are auditable. Your data stays yours.
No. The advantage is not the lowest price; it is a leaner delivery model. The same founder understands the operation, designs the system, builds, tests and hands it over. You pay for delivery rather than a large sales and management structure.
Explain who does it, which tools are involved, how often it happens and where it breaks. Do not send passwords, customer lists or financial statements.
I personally review every submission within 48 hours. If it is a fit, I will send a 20-minute workflow triage link. If it is not, I will explain why and whether a simpler solution is more appropriate.
