Custom automation, built in Perth
Paramount Software is a Perth team building custom AI and cloud automation for the repetitive processing your staff still do by hand. The routine runs itself, and your people get their hours back.
The bill comes in three currencies: the hours it drains every week, the errors that compound when people rush, and the simple fact that it never scales. There is a better shape for this work.
See how we build itFigures are re-keyed from PDFs, emails and forms one field at a time. It burns hours every week, and a single mistyped number can follow you all the way to the ledger.
Every message is read, categorised and routed by a person before the real work can begin. Attention that belongs with your customers goes to sorting instead.
Contracts, receipts and forms are opened, read, renamed and filed by hand, and the information trapped inside them rarely makes it into your systems.
When volume rises, the only lever you have is hiring. Costs climb in a straight line with the workload, and errors compound as people rush to keep up.
No black box. You can see the whole engagement before you commit to it. A method you can check is worth more than a promise you cannot, so rigour is the point.
We map your process as it runs today: the steps, the systems, the volumes and the awkward edge cases. You leave with a one-page automation plan, whether or not you take it further.
Free scoping sessionWe agree the target shape: what the machine reads, checks, routes and acts on, where a person stays in the loop, and exactly what "done" looks like.
DaysWe build it on our platform, connect it to your systems, and test it against real cases before it touches any live work.
2 - 6 weeks, scope dependingWe take it live, monitor and tune it. You can see what it processes, and we hold the first milestone to spec before it is billed.
OngoingScoping to a working pilot typically runs 2 - 6 weeks.
Each service below is a module of the same working machine, not a product on its own. Work enters, moves through reading, validation and routing, and leaves as a measured result. Start with one module or wire the whole line together.
Orchestration layer
It automates complex, multi-step workflows with AI that learns and adapts, so approvals and hand-offs move on their own instead of stalling in a queue while someone finds time to action them.
Intake
Where unstructured work enters the machine. It reads documents, images and other content at scale, understands the context, and turns what it finds into structured data your systems can use.
Write-back
It captures, validates and enters information across your tools without the manual re-keying, so records stay accurate and consistent across systems even as the volume rises.
Front door
The machine at your front door. It reads, categorises, extracts and routes incoming email, then responds or escalates by your rules, so the inbox becomes a feed into the system rather than a backlog.
Foundation
The foundation everything runs on: secure, scalable environments on AWS and Azure, kept fast, resilient and cost-aware as your workload grows.
The same work that enters as invoices, emails and records leaves as lower cost, fewer errors and hours handed back to your team. The figures below are typical of well-implemented automation, not measured client results. Put your own numbers in to see what it could mean for you.
Well-built automation typically removes 30-50% of the cost of running a process, freeing that spend for higher-value work.
Consistency is a machine's natural output. With AI-assisted validation catching mistakes before they land, accuracy on well-scoped, structured tasks typically holds around 99.9%.
A well-built machine typically absorbs order-of-magnitude jumps in workload, so throughput can grow around tenfold without your headcount growing with it.
The machine starts paying back quickly. With scope kept tight, a first working deployment typically lands in weeks rather than months, so value shows up early instead of at the end.
Add a rough cost per hour to see the reclaimed capacity as a dollar range too.
You could reclaim about
7-13 hours a week
That is roughly 330-580 hours a year handed back to your team.
Range assumes automation handles a conservative 40-70% of the task, over 46 working weeks a year.
Indicative only, confirmed in a scoping session.
We build, deploy and host on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services, the cloud platforms we trust, support and use every day.
Platforms we use.
Here is what you can check, point by point.
Hosted and processed in Australian cloud regions, in environments we control, with least-privilege access and scoped retention. Offshore only with your prior approval.
Ask for it in writing before any work starts.
Discover, Design, Build and Run, set out step by step earlier on this page. You keep a one-page automation plan from the very first session.
Hold the plan you receive against those steps.
Most of what we build is closed source, but some of our smaller work sits in the open on GitHub. No highlight reel, just an honest glimpse of how we write code, there if you want it.
When you get in touch with Paramount, you are talking to Kris Stoddart: the person who will scope your automation, design it, build it and stand behind it. There is no account manager sitting between you and the work.
Paramount Software is a hands-on Perth practice. Being based in Western Australia is not a footnote, it is part of the offer. Your project, your data and the person accountable for them all stay onshore, and you can pick up the phone and reach whoever built your system.
Senior, contactable and local. That is the whole idea.
Tell us about one repetitive process and we'll map how to automate it. The scoping session is free, and the plan is yours to keep.
How we take the risk off the table
Free scoping session
We map one automation opportunity together and you leave with a one-page automation plan - concrete, and yours to keep whether or not we work together.
Low-cost, fixed-scope pilot
When you are ready to build, the first paid step is a small pilot with a clear scope and a fixed price - a real result before any larger commitment.
First milestone to spec
The first milestone is built to the spec we agree in the plan, and we review it with you before anything further is billed.
We'll get back to you within one business day.
Leave your number and a time that suits - no message required. Kris will call you back.
