Built different. By design.

We're not a big agency selling you packages. We're two local operators who care deeply about actually moving the needle for the businesses we work with.

Local & Personal
You work directly with the founders — not account managers or junior staff. We know the local business landscape and we're invested in your success.
Fast Time to Value
We move quickly and practically. Most clients see measurable time savings within the first 30 days of implementation.
Budget-Conscious Solutions
We recommend what actually fits your business — not the most expensive tool on the market. Your ROI is the metric that matters most to us.
Measurable Outcomes
We set clear goals at the start of every engagement and hold ourselves accountable to them. If it's not working, we fix it.

The people behind your results

Andrew has spent his career inside manufacturing plants, ERP systems, and financial reports, learning how businesses actually run at the ground level.

Common questions about business automation

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Business process automation uses technology to perform repetitive tasks or workflows with minimal human intervention — things like data entry, approvals, notifications, and cross-system data transfers. Automating these frees your team from manual busywork so they can focus on higher-value work that actually moves your business forward.

Costs vary based on the complexity of your workflows and the tools involved. At ShepherdIQ, every engagement is scoped to your specific budget and goals — we never recommend the most expensive solution when a simpler one will do. Book a free 30-minute discovery call and we'll give you a clear picture before any commitment.

Most ShepherdIQ clients see measurable time savings within the first 30 days of implementation. Simple workflow automations can go live in days. More complex system integrations typically take two to six weeks depending on scope. We set clear milestones at the start of every engagement so you always know what to expect.

We work with a wide range of tools including Zapier, Make (Integromat), Power Automate, Airtable, Notion, Monday.com, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Supabase, Slack, Calendly, Typeform, and Power BI. We select the right fit for your budget and workflow — we're not tied to any single platform.

We're proudly founded in Dunn, NC, but we work with businesses everywhere. Whether you're a local Sampson County business or a company across the country, we bring the same hands-on approach to every engagement — fully remote or in-person for local clients.

If your team is spending hours on repetitive manual tasks, your tools don't talk to each other, or data is getting lost between systems — you're ready. Our discovery process is designed to quickly identify where automation will have the highest ROI for your specific situation, with no jargon and no obligation.
