Overview
Not every automation needs to become a SaaS product. Esoteria's Tiered Automation Pathway helps teams find the simplest, most sustainable level of automation for their needs—scaling only when it's justified.
Our Method (Tiered Automation Pathway)
We use a pragmatic, "no overkill" philosophy.
- Step 1: Identify immediate ROI through low-code/no-code tools (Zapier, Make, Airtable).
- Step 2: Automate critical workflows via APIs and simple serverless scripts.
- Step 3: Only evolve to full AI-integrated SaaS if scale, data, or security demand it.
Key Components
- Zapier or n8n for early automation.
- Supabase + Vercel for mid-tier integrations.
- AI agents (OpenAI/Ollama) for advanced logic when warranted.
Implementation Notes
We refuse unnecessary complexity. Esoteria's consultants evaluate the simplest solution that works—balancing technical excellence with business pragmatism.
Extensions / Add-Ons
- Automation health dashboards.
- Cost-savings analysis.
- Migration path from no-code to pro-code.
