Make Consulting in Colchester
Make consulting for Colchester 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

Make Consulting in Colchester — 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 Essex?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Colchester and the surrounding Essex area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Colchester businesses do you usually work with?
- Suppliers needing security and compliance evidence for public-sector and defence procurement, plus student-facing services. Beyond that we work across Public Sector, Defence, Higher Education, Retail and Agriculture.
- Do you cover the areas around Colchester?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Chelmsford, Canterbury, London. Colchester is an urban area of roughly 190,000+, and we take on work across the wider Essex region rather than the city boundary alone.
