Why Southampton
Workflow automation for Southampton freight and shipping paperwork
Freight moves through Southampton faster than its paperwork. A single import job can mean a customs entry, commercial invoice, packing list, delivery booking and a POD, each arriving by email and each filed by hand into a job folder. We build flows that watch the inbox, extract the document data with AI Builder, file everything against the job reference and flag what's missing before the vessel arrives. Demurrage makes that time visible money. Shipping agents and marine businesses automate certificate and survey renewals: expiry dates chase themselves, and clients get status updates without anyone writing them. Solent manufacturers use the same platform for quality documents and goods-in. Cumberland Place faces Watts Park, five minutes from Southampton Central; Fareham, Eastleigh and Winchester are inside half an hour, and the Portsmouth base at Lakeside covers the coast east.

Power Automate Services
Power Automate is Microsoft's workflow automation platform for connecting the systems you already run and removing the manual steps between them. We map the process, then build flows your team can see into and change: approvals, invoicing, onboarding, document handling, alerts. It connects Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, SQL Server and more than 1,000 other systems through built-in connectors, and first builds often run on Microsoft 365 licences you already hold.

POWER Automate QUESTIONS

Answers to the questions UK businesses ask us most about Power Automate.

Can Power Automate capture our customs and job documents?

Yes. Training runs at Cumberland Place or your site, covering flow building, AI Builder and governance for the team that will maintain the flows.

Do you offer Power Automate training in Southampton?

Yes. Training runs at Cumberland Place or your site, covering flow building, AI Builder and governance for the team that will maintain the flows.

Do you also cover Portsmouth?

Yes, though Portsmouth has its own Intouch Tech base at Lakeside North Harbour. Southampton covers Winchester, Eastleigh, Romsey and Fareham; the two bases share consultants across the Solent.

Can this integrate with my current systems?

Yes. Power Automate connects Microsoft 365 apps like Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and Excel, plus Dynamics 365, SQL Server, Salesforce, Power BI and Power Apps, through Microsoft's connector ecosystem. Where no standard connector exists, we use APIs, custom connectors or desktop flows and RPA to bring older applications into the loop. (Microsoft Learn)

Do we need internal IT skills?

No. We handle discovery, workflow design, build, permissions, testing, launch and ongoing support. All we need from you are the people who own each process and know how approvals, exceptions and handoffs should really work.

What's the real return on investment?

The return comes from hours saved, fewer manual handoffs, faster approvals and fewer re-keying mistakes. We map your high-volume admin processes first and estimate the monthly time saved before we build anything, so every workflow has a clear business case behind it.

What do I need to use Power Automate?

You need a modern web browser, a Microsoft work or school account, and the right Microsoft 365 or Power Automate licence for the flows you want to run. Some standard connectors come with your existing Microsoft 365 licensing. Premium connectors, desktop flows and attended or unattended RPA need extra licensing, which we spell out for you up front.

Which email addresses are supported?

Power Automate cloud flows need a Microsoft work or school email address. Since 27 July 2025, Microsoft no longer supports personal accounts such as Gmail or Outlook.com for signing in. (Microsoft Learn)

What is Microsoft Power Automate used for?

Power Automate handles repeatable business processes: approval routing, notifications, data entry, invoice handling, staff onboarding, file management, CRM updates and reporting. Cloud flows connect your apps to each other, desktop flows bring RPA to older systems, and AI Builder reads documents and triggers actions from what they contain.
