Public Sector/Automation & Back-Office
Cut the manual out of the back office
Reconciliation, form-to-back-office and system-to-system automation — delivered as a fixed-price assessment, pilot and build, by a team with two decades in banking and fintech.
The problem
Council and trading-company back-offices lose huge amounts of time to manual work — bank and cash reconciliation, suspense-account clearing, re-keying between legacy systems that don’t talk to each other. It is slow, error-prone and audit-exposed, exactly when budgets are tightest.
Banking-grade automation, SME-priced. Our founder spent 20+ years in investment banking and fintech — uniquely credible for finance-process automation — and we deliver it as a fixed-price assessment → pilot → build, not an open-ended consulting bill.
What we build
Indicative pricing, always quoted to scope. Most first projects are a single below-threshold award — no formal tender required.
Process assessment
£1.5k–£3kA short, fixed-price assessment of one process — you keep the roadmap, whether or not you build with us.
Automation pilot
from £3kOne process automated end-to-end (e.g. reconciliation), run in parallel before go-live, with a full audit trail.
Build & managed run
from £8k + monthlyThe production build plus a managed service — monitored bots, kept working as your systems change.
Why Ophir
Automation is our most differentiated capability and rests on real, working code and an enterprise-grade method — documented design, parallel-run, change control, least-privilege access and a human in the loop. We start with a trading company or finance team where the procurement is commercial and the ROI is measured in staff time.
Typical buyer: Managing Director (LATCo) / Head of Finance
What you get
- Hours of manual reconciliation and re-keying removed every week
- Fewer errors and a clean audit trail
- A fixed-price, low-risk path: assess, pilot, then build
Social value you can evidence. Councils must have regard to the National Procurement Policy Statement and the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 — both of which prioritise SME spend and local economic benefit. Since February 2026, below-threshold competitions can also be reserved for local suppliers. As an independent UK SME that hires, trains and spends in its community, awarding work to Ophir helps you evidence all of it.
