Early access — UK pilot, summer 2026

The quieter way to run a small business.

Sotontech is an AI productivity layer for the people doing the work — plumbers, agencies, café owners, accountants. It reads your inbox, your invoices, your jobs and your calendar, then quietly handles the admin so you can stop running the business from your phone at 11pm.

01 — Product

Small businesses don't need another app. They need a few hours of their week back.

Inbox · auto-triage

Reads your inbox like a chief of staff who actually understands your business.

Sotontech learns which clients matter, which suppliers always email late, and which “urgent” messages are actually just newsletters. You wake up to seven things, not three hundred.

Invoices · chasing

Politely chases the people who owe you money.

Tone-matched to your brand, sent at the times humans actually pay. Stops the second the money lands.

1# 14 invoices overdue · £4,212.00
2draft reminder → "Brookside Café" ✓ sent
3draft reminder → "K&M Plumbing" ✓ sent
4paid"Henley Garage" · £918.00
5# 11 remaining · next pass at 09:14
Quotes & jobs

Turns a five-line WhatsApp into a sent quote in under a minute.

Sotontech understands your pricing, your typical jobs, and your van. It writes the quote, you tap approve, the customer sees it.

Books · always closed

Keeps your books quietly closed at the end of every week.

Categorises transactions against the way you actually run your business — not a generic chart of accounts. Your accountant logs in on Monday and finds it already done.

02 — How it works

Plug it in. Approve a few drafts. Get your evenings back.

Sotontech sits on top of the tools you already use — Gmail, Outlook, Xero, QuickBooks, Stripe, WhatsApp Business, Google Calendar. No migration, no new dashboard to learn.

step 01

Connect what you already use

Email, accounting, calendar, payments. Read-only by default. We never act without you the first week.

step 02

Approve a handful of drafts

Replies, chases, quotes. Each one shows you why. Sotontech learns your voice fast — usually within 40 approvals.

step 03

Hand over the boring bits

You graduate to one digest a day. Sotontech surfaces what needs you. Everything else is already handled.

step 04

Cancel any time

No contracts. Your data is yours, exportable in one click. We're a tool, not a hostage situation.

A note from Omar Ashruff founder · Southampton, UK
“I've spent enough nights at the kitchen table doing other people's admin to know what small businesses actually need. It isn't another dashboard with thirty charts on it. It's somebody — or in this case, something — that takes the boring stuff off your plate without making you learn a new app to do it. That's all Sotontech is trying to be.”
