Every Industry Has Processes That Should Be Running Themselves.
We build automation infrastructure for any organization with a digital process, an API connection, or a tool that should be talking to something else but isn't. Below is every industry we serve, what we automate within each, and exactly what is included in your Growth subscription versus what is scoped and billed as custom integration work.
Two tiers of work. One transparent standard.
Every automation listed below falls into one of two categories.
Growth Subscription Included means the automation is built, deployed, and monitored as part of your active Growth subscription or above — no additional hourly charge. Monitoring via Slack and Telegram is always included for subscription automations, provided the connected platform supports webhook or REST API access.
Custom Integration Work is billed at a minimum of $150 per hour, depending on scope. Rates may increase based on the complexity of the integration, third-party API limitations, proprietary or on-premise system requirements, and any delays outside TotalAutomation.ai's control — including client-side access issues, vendor response times, missing credentials, incomplete documentation, or approval bottlenecks from the client's internal team or third-party vendors. A written scope of work is provided before any custom integration begins.
Monitoring for custom integrations is included in the subscription where the connected system permits read access. Where a system's API restricts write access and prevents automated remediation, monitoring alerts are still included — but fixes are billed at the prevailing hourly rate with a one-hour minimum per incident.
