Your team is growing. Your tools aren't keeping up. Every week you lose hours to manual processes, disconnected systems, and decisions made on incomplete data. You know something is breaking - you just haven't had time to fix it.
How we build
For when your workflows don’t fit in a template anymore.
Identify
30 minutes to align before either of us commits to anything. We hear how the work flows now, share where we'd start digging, and give a rough engagement range. If it lines up, the next step is a contract and the Plan phase, where we map the system in detail and confirm scope. If it doesn't, we say so.

Charles Borden
Founder
Before AutomationsHQ, I built ship control systems at Electric Boat and radar positioning systems at Raytheon. The cost of a flaw shows up in the field, not in a staging environment. That changes how you build.
Hi, I'm Charles, founder and lead automator at AutomationsHQ. With more than ten years building production internal tools, I've worked with teams from fast-growing startups to Fortune 100 companies. I've seen the same challenges come up again and again: repetitive manual work, data spread across too many different systems, and teams spending hours piecing things together in spreadsheets just to get clear answers.
That's what led me to start AutomationsHQ. I wanted to help businesses of any size break free from those bottlenecks by building smart, custom automations that actually fit how they work. My approach is straightforward: we have two ears and one mouth, so I listen first. I take time to understand your goals, your processes, and what makes your business unique before suggesting any solutions.
No business is exactly like another, so I don't believe in cookie-cutter fixes. Instead, we create tailored systems designed specifically for your needs-connecting your tools, automating the right steps, and making everything run more smoothly. The goal is simple: free up your time from boring, repeated tasks so you can focus on the parts of your business that matter most and help it grow.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my beautiful wife, Olivia, (we just got married on February 21, 2026) Sophie (our dog), at the gym, hiking, and playing the bagpipes with the Middletown Police Benefit Association (MPBA) Pipe Band.
What Clients Say
Real operators who reclaimed their time and scaled their operations
30 minutes to find what's costing you the most hours
When the stack outgrows the team that built it, the symptoms are recognizable: workflows breaking silently, knowledge concentrated in one person, vendor limits biting on volume, and growth that costs more hours than it earns.
This consultation is a diagnostic, not a sales pitch. We confirm whether the right next move is a systems rebuild, a different vendor, or sitting tight.
This is not a pitch. It is a pressure test.
We work with operators who already know the problem - we just confirm the diagnosis and scope the fix.
In 30 minutes, you will know:
- •What is actually breaking (and what is not worth fixing yet)
- •Where you are losing leverage - and how much time/margin is on the table
- •Whether a systems rebuild makes sense for your stage and appetite
- •The exact engagement model if we move forward - no guessing
If it is not a fit, we will say so.
If it is, you will have the clearest operational roadmap you have ever seen.
For operators managing scale-level complexity • Limited capacity • No generic advice
