Agentic

Automation

Imagine what you could if you could spend less time on day-to-day operations and more on high value work. Instead of armies of people or brittle, rule-based bots carrying out repetitive daily tasks, you can adopt intelligent agents that think, decide and act; at scale and with precision. Our Agentic Automation practice is rooted in deep RPA heritage and rigorous process engineering, evolved for a world where AI agents don’t just support your operations – they run them.

The

Challenge

The promise of automation has never been greater, but neither have the consequences of getting it wrong.

Agentic AI Introduces

New Risks

Traditional governance was never designed to provide the level of assurance required for autonomous agents to make decisions within live business processes

Gartner predicts that by 2028, agentic AI will autonomously handle 15% of day-to-day business decisions – with significant consequences when they go wrong

Process Complexity Defeats

Poorly Planned Automation

Automating the wrong processes, or the right processes without sufficient analysis, creates operational risk rather than reducing it

Organisations that skip structured process engineering before automating report 3x higher remediation costs when deployments fail in production

RPA Alone Has

Hit Its Ceiling

Rule-based automation breaks when processes change, creating fragile estates that cost more to maintain than they save

Up to 50% of RPA implementations fail to scale beyond initial pilots due to poor process selection and inadequate governance

The cost of inaction

Without a rigorous, quality-led approach, automations don’t just waste investment – they compound operational risk.

LOW-CODE APPLICATION

DEVELOPMENT

Not every application challenge requires a full engineering effort. We design and build low-code applications using Power Apps, OutSystems, Mendix, and Retool to enable faster delivery, greater business ownership, and significantly lower build costs. And when combined with our automation capability, the results are powerful: intelligent applications that don’t just present information, but trigger workflows, orchestrate agents, and drive action without manual intervention.

fcdo

Building a security cleared AI capability at the FCDO

Challenge

The FCDO partnered with Scale Factory to implement a hybrid consultancy model that builds sovereign AI capability rather than vendor dependency.

Solution

By implementing this model, Scale Factory helped the FCDO move beyond short-term experiments to build a sovereign capability that will serve the department for years to come. This partnership ensures that, as the technology evolves, the FCDO retains a project-hardened, in-house workforce ready to run and scale these services independently.

Frequently Asked

Questions

How do you decide which processes are right for automation?

We conduct structured process discovery and ROI modelling before any build begins – mapping your processes, scoring automation candidates and ensuring investment is targeted where it will deliver most, not just where it’s technically feasible.

What's the difference between your Next Gen Pod and Delivery Pod models?

A Next Gen Pod places our academy-trained engineers under your management with reach-back into our practice. A Delivery Pod is a blended team of senior consultants and next-gen talent, fully managed by us to deliver a specific outcome.

How do you ensure quality in automated processes before they go live?

Drawing on our QE heritage, we design and apply assurance frameworks specific to automation – covering functional accuracy, exception handling, edge cases and operational resilience before any automation touches live business operations.

Can you modernise our existing RPA estate rather than replace it?

Yes. We assess, rationalise and re-engineer existing deployments – migrating where appropriate to modern agentic frameworks. We don’t recommend replacing what works; we recommend evolving what doesn’t.
