Grow the business. Not the admin team.
Every month, your team loses dozens or hundreds of hours to admin that a machine could do. We find those hours and automate them, allowing you to grow your business without growing payroll. If we don't save you at least R50,000 a year, we keep building for free until we do. Still short? You get your build fee back.
R50,000 savings guarantee · Fixed quotes · You own what we buildAdmin isn't just annoying. It's costing you money.
Every growing business leaks time and money in the same three places.
Sales
Slow replies lose sales
Someone who waits too long for a quote will contact your competitor.
Follow-ups fall through the cracks
Quotes go out, and nobody chases them. Good deals are lost.
The CRM is always out of date
Reps hate admin, so updates happen late or never. Management can't trust the sales pipeline.
Operations
Data typed in twice
Orders, forms and PDFs re-typed from email into your systems. Slow, and easy to get wrong.
The same questions all day
"Where's my order?" "Did you get my documents?" Someone stops real work to answer.
Problems found too late
Delays, stock gaps and missed deadlines surface after a customer complains.
Finance
Cash sits in debtors
Invoices go out late. Follow-ups happen when someone remembers. Cash flow pays for it.
Bills captured by hand
Supplier invoices keyed in one at a time, then checked again at month-end.
Reports take days
By the time the numbers are ready, they're already out of date.
And it all runs through you.
Approvals, answers, updates. When you step away, things stall. You can't scale a business that needs you for everything.
Not just automation. Agents that read, decide and act.
A normal automation follows fixed steps. An AI agent works more like a trained team member. It reads the request, works out what is needed, uses your systems to do it, and hands anything unusual to a person.
Reads the request
An email, a WhatsApp, a PDF, a form. Any format, any time of day.
Works out what to do
It checks your rules, your history and your systems, then picks the next step.
Does the work
Updates the CRM, drafts the reply, raises the invoice, books the follow-up.
Tells you what it did
Every action is logged. Anything it's unsure of goes to a person.
Agents we deploy
Inbox agent
Sorts the shared inbox, drafts replies, files attachments and routes each email to the right person. Your team starts the day at inbox zero.
Customer service agent
Answers customers on WhatsApp, email and your website, day and night, using your own knowledge base. Hands over to a person when it should.
Sales agent
Researches new leads, updates the CRM after every call, and follows up on quotes so no deal goes quiet.
Finance agent
Captures invoices, matches payments, chases overdue accounts politely and flags anything that doesn't add up.
Operations agent
Watches orders, stock and deliveries. Spots problems early and tells the right person before a customer notices.
Reporting agent
Pulls the numbers from your systems and writes the weekly summary in plain language. In your inbox by Monday 08:00.
Agents with guardrails
We start every agent in supervised mode. It drafts, you approve. Once it has proven itself, it takes over the low-risk work on its own.
Approval where it matters
Payments, pricing and anything sent to SARS always need a person's sign-off.
Only the access it needs
Each agent can see and touch only the systems its job requires.
A full activity log
See every action an agent took, when and why.
A clean handover
Unsure or unusual? The agent stops and passes it to your team with the context.
If it's repeatable, it's automatable.
We work with the tools you already use. No rip-and-replace, no new system for your team to learn.
Sales admin
CRM updates, lead routing, quote follow-ups and meeting notes, done without a rep lifting a finger.
Finance admin
Invoices read from email and posted to Sage or Xero. Statements reconciled. Reminders sent on time.
Customer service
WhatsApp and email replies for the common questions. Tricky ones go straight to a person.
Operations
Job cards, stock alerts, order updates and supplier emails, handled in the background.
Reporting
The Monday report builds itself and lands in your inbox. Nobody loses a Friday afternoon to it.
HR and onboarding
Leave requests, onboarding packs, contract reminders and the same staff questions, handled without anyone in HR lifting a finger.
Three steps. No jargon.
Map
We sit with your team and find where the hours go. You get a written list of what to automate first, and what it's worth.
Build
We build on your real tools and test with your real data. Nothing goes live until your team signs it off.
Run
We watch it, fix it and improve it every month. You get a short report on what it did and what it saved.
Your AI. Our automation.
We don't lock you into one AI provider. We pick the right model for each job, and change it when something better comes along.

Local team. Your systems. Your rules.
Built for South African business
We know how local businesses really run: customers who reply on WhatsApp, suppliers who still send PDFs, and teams split between office and site. We connect the tools you already use, from Sage, Xero, Pastel and SYSPRO to Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, HubSpot, Salesforce, Excel and your bank's statement exports. Rand pricing, South African support hours.
Results you can measure
Every month you see what your automations did: tasks done, hours saved and errors caught. If something isn't paying its way, we fix it or switch it off.
You own it
The automations run on your accounts. If we part ways, everything stays with you.
People stay in charge
AI handles the repeat work. Anything unusual, sensitive or high-value goes to a person first.
We already run on automation. Now we build it for you.
LekkerWerk comes from the team behind Sales Cadence, a Cape Town B2B outreach and sales consulting agency. Automation isn't a new idea for us. It's how we run every day.
Automation in production, not on slides
Our own systems register domains, set up DNS, create mailboxes and watch deliverability across many client accounts. They catch problems before they cost money.
We don't build and disappear
Our own systems run with automated checks and alerts, because outreach can't afford silent failures. Yours get the same care: monitored, fixed and improved every month.
We know how sales works
We've coached founders and sales teams on their sales process. So we automate the work that moves revenue, not just the work that's easy to automate.
Werner Jooste
Co-founderMore than a decade in technology and an early adopter of AI. Werner built the automated systems that let his own sales agency, Sales Cadence, serve more clients than a people-only team ever could. Now he helps businesses grow their output without growing payroll.
Bianca Jooste
Co-founderBianca's background spans accounting, manufacturing and sales, so she sees how money, operations and customers connect. She spots the gaps and lost hours others miss, and turns them into processes that run smoothly.
Start small. Prove it. Then scale.
Automation audit
Once-off. We map your workflows and hand you a ranked list of what to automate, with the expected time saved.
Build
Most commonPer automation. Fixed quote, built and tested on your systems, signed off by your team before it goes live.
Run and improve
Monitoring, fixes, monthly improvements and a short report on what your automations did.
All prices exclude VAT and third-party costs, such as AI usage and software licences.
The R50,000 savings guarantee
If your automations don't save at least R50,000 a year, we keep building at no charge until they do. Still short three months later? We refund your build fee. Savings are measured over your first three months live, against a baseline you sign off after the audit, with Run and improve active. Read the full guarantee terms.
What is the boring work costing you?
Move the sliders to match your team. See what you could get back in year one.
Estimate only, based on time saved at your hourly cost. Year-one cost is one audit (R7,500), one build (R19,500) and 12 months of Run and improve (R3,500 a month), excluding VAT and third-party costs. Bigger projects cost more. Not counted here: deals won through faster replies, cash collected sooner and fewer costly errors. Your audit gives you real numbers before you commit.
Straight answers.
We tried ChatGPT. It didn't stick. Why is this different?
A chat window doesn't change how work moves through your business. Someone still has to copy, paste and remember. We connect AI agents into your inbox, CRM and accounting system, so the work actually gets done without anyone asking.
Will AI replace my staff?
It replaces the repeat work, not the people. Most owners use the time to grow without hiring. What you do with it is your call.
What's the difference between an automation and an AI agent?
An automation follows the same fixed steps every time. An agent can handle messy, varied requests: it reads, decides what to do and acts, within limits you set. Most clients use both.
Our processes are messy. Is that a problem?
No, that's normal. The audit maps how work really flows today, mess included. We fix the process first, then automate it.
Do we need new software?
Usually not. We connect the tools you already pay for.
How long until something is live?
2 to 3 weeks for a first automation, depending on how many systems it touches.
What if it makes a mistake?
Anything risky is checked by a person before it goes out. We monitor every automation and fix issues fast.
Klaar met admin?
Book 20 minutes. Tell us the job your team hates most. You'll leave the call with the three things we'd automate first and roughly what they're worth. No obligation, no hard sell.
