Custom workflow automation and approval software

Workflow automation from ANTLR Tech is the routine steps between systems — the chasing, the copying, the sign-offs — done by the software, with a record of who approved what and when. It is built for your operation rather than configured from a product, so the screens follow the way your team already works. Typically 15–300 staff, where the software works and the handoffs don't — someone copies a figure across, someone else chases a signature.

It depends on scope, integrations and how many locations you run — so we don't publish a number that would be wrong for most people. What we do commit to is the shape: a short paid discovery, then a fixed price for a defined first release that you approve before any production code is written. No open-ended billing, and no surprise at the end.

A first working release lands in 4–10 weeks from kickoff. We run two-week cycles with a demo at the end of each, so your team is using part of the system while the rest is still being built — rather than waiting for a single reveal at the end.

Operations teams whose systems are fine but the gaps between them aren't. Typically 15–300 staff, where the software works and the handoffs don't — someone copies a figure across, someone else chases a signature. If an off-the-shelf product already fits without workarounds, we will say so — custom software only pays when the process is specific enough that rented tools fight you.

For simple two-app handoffs, use them — we'll say so. Custom pays off when the rules have exceptions, the audit trail matters, or a failed step needs to be recoverable rather than silently dropped.

Exceptions are designed in, not discovered later. Anything the rules can't decide is routed to a person with the context attached, and the decision is recorded.

The opposite. Every action, actor and timestamp is logged, so you can show exactly what happened — which is usually more than the manual process could prove.

One workflow. Automating a single approval chain often takes about four weeks and pays for itself before the second one starts, which is why we sequence them that way rather than attempting the whole operation at once.

You do. The repository, the hosting accounts and the data are yours from day one, documented at handover so another team could pick the work up. There is no seat licence and no fee that exists only to keep you with us.

No. Most clients arrive with a problem rather than a spec. Deciding what to build first — and what to leave alone — is the work of the discovery stage, and you keep the process map that comes out of it either way.
