Where it hurts today

Technical checking, peer review, and calculations QA absorbed into non-billable studio overhead

Earned fee stages left unbilled due to delays in receiving formal client sign-off notices

This is the work. Neonbee runs the business behind it.

Not a generic ERP bent into shape — the flow below is your flow, in your language, from the first enquiry to the recurring contract.

Your business flow — one thread

From the first lead to the recurring contract.

Every stage lives in one system. The amber dots are where engineering consultancies typically lose margin — and the ✦ Neura agents underneath work exactly those stages.

20 minutes · on your real workflow · no commitment
Live in days, not months

Pre-configured for your vertical. Import your contacts and items, switch on the modules you need, start working.

One bill replaces 10+ tools

No Zapier fees, no integration maintenance, no sync drift. One price, per seat, all modules included.

AI with guardrails

Neura assists proactively, but every action that moves money or commits your company asks for your approval first.

Questions, answered

What most teams ask before the demo.

Straight answers — and anything we haven't covered, ask us live on the call.

Ask us directly
How long does it take to get live?

Most teams are up in 3–5 days. We configure your trade settings, migrate your customers, products and open jobs, and train your team in two 45-minute sessions.

Can we keep using our existing accounting tool?

Yes. Neonbee has a complete double-entry accounting engine built in, but we also sync 2-way with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage and Tally if you prefer to keep your accountant where they are.

Does the AI act on its own?

Neura has two modes: Assist (answers, drafts, summaries) and Execute (real actions through agents). Every Execute action lands as an approval card — nothing runs without your sign-off, and everything is audited.

Is our data used to train AI models?

No. Your data stays yours — it is never shared or sold, and Neura reasons over it privately to help your business only.

What if we only need a few modules?

That's the normal path. All 20 Operations modules share one record, but you switch on only what you need and add the rest when you're ready — pricing follows what you use.
