Blindspot Works · UK
Your leads are going cold. Your onboarding is inconsistent. Your team is doing work that should be automated.
I help owner-managed businesses map their full customer journey, find exactly where they're losing time and money, and fix it, without adding more tools to the pile.
"Most businesses don't have a sales problem or a tech problem. They have a journey problem - and they've been too busy to look at it properly."
The Problem
You don't need more tools. You need clarity.
Most businesses invest in software, automation, and AI before they understand their own process. So the tools add complexity instead of removing it.
The result is a patchwork of systems that don't talk to each other, a team doing manual work that should be automated, and customers falling through gaps that nobody has properly mapped.
Before you spend another pound on technology, you need to see the journey your customers are actually on, not the one you think they're on.
These aren't technology problems. They're journey problems, and most businesses don't even realise they have one until they've mapped it properly.
- Do you find leads are going cold because follow-up depends on someone remembering to do it?
- Is your onboarding process inconsistent because it relies on tribal knowledge?
- Are you using five different tools that were meant to solve the same problem?
- Does your team spend hours each week on tasks that should take minutes?
- Have you thought about adding AI but don't know where it would actually make a difference?
- Does growth feel like it requires more people, when it should require better systems?

Let's TalkWho I Work With
This isn't for everyone. It might be for you.
A strong fit if you are...
An owner-managed business with 5–50 people that has grown beyond spreadsheets and manual processes, but hasn't yet built a proper operations or technology function. You know things could be slicker. You're ready to invest in getting them right, and you want a partner who can both think strategically and actually build things.
Also a strong fit if you...
Have invested in software or tools before and felt like you didn't get the value, or you're still doing things manually because nothing you tried actually stuck. You want someone who will look at the problem honestly, not sell you a solution looking for a problem.
Probably not the right fit if...
You're looking for someone to simply execute a brief you've already written. Or you need a team of 10 developers. I'm a specialist, not an agency - I work with a small number of clients at any time, and I'm selective about the engagements I take on.
Also not the right fit if...
You want cheap or fast. I offer neither. The businesses I work with see genuine, lasting improvement in how they operate - and that takes proper thinking, proper building, and a willingness to look honestly at how things currently work.
About
More than a decade of helping businesses work smarter. Now with AI in the toolkit.
I'm Pieter K de Villiers. I've been working with business owners on process improvement and automation since 2014, long before AI became a buzzword. I understand how businesses actually run: the manual work-arounds, the hand-off failures, the bottlenecks that everyone knows about but nobody has fixed.
Along the way, I built MacantaCRM, a no-code CRM and process automation platform, from the ground up. Took it to market, and managed the transition through acquisition. I know what it's like to be the business owner trying to keep operations together, and I know what it takes to build systems that genuinely hold up under pressure.
That background shapes how I work. I'm not a developer who learned to talk to clients, and I'm not a strategist who hands you a report and leaves. I sit at the intersection of business thinking and technical delivery, which means the recommendations I make are ones that can actually be implemented, and the things I build are grounded in how your business works in practice.
I work with a small number of clients at any time. You'll work with me directly, not an account manager, not a junior consultant.
"Too many entrepreneurs are not aware of the key elements outlined in this book and, as such, will always struggle to break out of small business performance and into the big league."

Get Started
I take on a limited number of clients. Spaces are genuinely limited.
I work with a small number of businesses at any one time to ensure every client gets the attention they deserve. If you're interested in working together, the best first step is a short conversation. No commitment - just the first step in the right direction.
