Make Consulting in Stoke-on-Trent
Make consulting for Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent — 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 Staffordshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout West Midlands, including Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding Staffordshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Stoke-on-Trent businesses do you usually work with?
- Multi-site stock, ordering and networking for businesses operating across several town centres, plus ceramics ecommerce. Beyond that we work across Ceramics, Manufacturing, Logistics, Retail and Digital.
- Do you cover the areas around Stoke-on-Trent?
- Yes — we work throughout West Midlands, including Birmingham, Manchester, Lichfield. Stoke-on-Trent is an urban area of roughly 260,000+, and we take on work across the wider Staffordshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
