Make Consulting in Birmingham
Make consulting for Birmingham organisations, where data stores quietly become the system of record. They exist to hold small amounts of state between runs, and estates gradually accumulate business data in them — customer details, order status, running totals — inside an automation platform that was never intended to be a database.
Why this comes up
The problem
Order status for the whole business is held in a Make data store with no backup and no reporting.
What you get
What we deliver
- Data stores reviewed for what they hold and whether it belongs there
- Business data moved into a proper database where it has outgrown the platform
- Legitimate uses retained, such as deduplication keys and run state
- Error handling configured, since scenarios do not stop usefully by default
- Operations consumption modelled against how the scenarios are actually built
- Plan tier reviewed, as the arithmetic changes considerably with volume

Working in Birmingham
West Midlands
Birmingham is the UK's second city and its business base is broad rather than specialised, so projects here range from single-site hospitality systems to multi-region platforms for professional services firms.
Briefs range widely, but the recurring themes are multi-site operations needing one system instead of five, and professional services firms replacing spreadsheets with something auditable.

Make Consulting in Birmingham — common questions
- What are data stores actually for?
- Small amounts of state between executions — remembering which records have been processed, holding a counter, storing a token. They are useful for that and they have no reporting, limited querying and no backup story worth relying on.
- How does business data end up there?
- Gradually and reasonably. Somebody stores one field to solve a problem, another is added later, and eventually the store holds information the business depends on — at which point it is a database that nobody can query and nobody is backing up.
- Where should it go instead?
- Somewhere designed to hold it. A managed database, or even a well-structured spreadsheet-style platform, gives you querying, reporting, backup and access control — and the scenarios can read from it exactly as they read from the data store.
- Why does error handling need attention?
- Because the default behaviour surprises people. A scenario encountering an error can stop, and stopping mid-way leaves work half done — configuring error routes deliberately is what turns a failure into something handled rather than something discovered later.
- Do you work with businesses across West Midlands?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout West Midlands, including Birmingham and the surrounding West Midlands area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Birmingham businesses do you usually work with?
- Briefs range widely, but the recurring themes are multi-site operations needing one system instead of five, and professional services firms replacing spreadsheets with something auditable. Beyond that we work across Professional Services, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Construction, Hospitality and Logistics.
- Do you cover the areas around Birmingham?
- Yes — we work throughout West Midlands, including Coventry, Wolverhampton, Derby, Leicester. Birmingham is an urban area of roughly 2,600,000+, and we take on work across the wider West Midlands region rather than the city boundary alone.
