FNQ Automations was started because local business owners in Far North Queensland are spending too much time on paperwork and not enough time on the tools or with their families.
When your phone is ringing while you're on a roof or out on the reef, things get missed. We build the systems that catch those leads and keep your workflow moving — so the admin doesn't pile up for Sunday night.
We aren't here to replace people or automate away the personality of your business. We're here to clear the clutter so you can stay focused on the parts of the job you actually enjoy.
This started from seeing the same frustration everywhere: too many apps, too much chasing, and the feeling that you're constantly playing catch up with your inbox.
A big part of why we exist came from Sonny, who helped shape our understanding of what life is like when you're flat out. Phones ringing mid-task, messages coming in all day, and paperwork waiting for you when you get home. We build for that reality — making sure our tools are easy to use when you're busy.
Sonny has moved on to new projects now, but his perspective on keeping things simple for the person on the ground is still the core of what we do.
Tate handles the technical side. The focus is always on making things reliable. You don't need a fancy new platform that takes months to learn. Most of the time, the win is just connecting the tools you already use — email, Xero, and website forms — so they work together.
We build it properly, test it thoroughly, and make sure your team knows exactly how to use it before we step away.
Most businesses aren't looking for a total transformation. They just want the repetitive stuff off their plate.
We set these up in a way that feels natural for your customers and easy for your team.
If it's predictable and repetitive, we can likely find a better way to handle it.
