Automation built around the systems you already run

I build automation for Singapore SMEs that cuts out the typing and copying between email, spreadsheets and chat apps. Your team keeps the tools they know, and the repetitive part gets done for them.

What I automate

Most of my work falls into these four areas. If yours is something else, ask anyway.

Emails and documents into a spreadsheet

Booking emails, orders, invoices and delivery dockets, including PDF attachments, read and written into Google Sheets or Excel.

Bots on WhatsApp or Telegram

Staff send a photo or a short message to log a payment, file a receipt or check on a job.

Reminders and alerts

Payments coming due, cargo arriving, jobs nobody has confirmed. You get a message when something needs a person.

Daily summaries

What came in, what changed and what's still open, sent at the time you choose.

I start by going through the work with whoever does it today. Then I build the smallest piece that saves real time, test it next to your team, and add to it once it's proven.

Recent work

Two projects from this year. I've left out the client names.

Cold-chain logistics

Booking emails into a trucking company's daily plan

The company gets around 300 booking emails a day, many with PDFs attached. Their planners were keying every job into a planning sheet by hand.

  • Each booking lands on the right day's tab of their planning sheet
  • Changed dates, moved jobs and cancellations are marked on the sheet
  • Anything the system isn't sure about goes on a review list for a planner
  • A 6pm summary lists the day's changes

Running alongside the planners now, ahead of go-live.

Renovation

Invoice and receipt bots for a contractor

A renovation contractor wanted an easier way to track what he owed subcontractors and to keep his receipts in order.

  • He types or snaps an invoice, like "sub Ah Kao tiling $3500, 30 days", and it's logged
  • Reminders come 3 days before, on the due date, and if it's overdue
  • Receipt photos are read for the amount and GST and sorted into categories
  • The photo goes to his Google Drive and the details to his Google Sheet

How a project runs

  1. A free call

    30 to 45 minutes. You tell me what your team does by hand and how long it takes.

  2. A fixed quote

    I send a short written scope with one price. If the scope changes, we agree the new price before I do the extra work.

  3. Build and test

    I build it in small pieces and run it next to your team until you're happy to stop doing that step by hand.

  4. Ongoing care, if you want it

    A monthly plan covers fixes and small changes. If you'd rather look after it yourselves, I'll hand it over with written notes.

Projects start from S$1,500, and monthly care from S$200. Where a job lands above that depends mostly on how many systems it touches.

About me

I'm Sonn. My day job is running quality and after-sales operations for a global luxury brand, where I've worked for about 15 years. A lot of that job is fixing processes where someone copies information from one place to another.

I started Brawn Button in 2026 to build the same kind of fixes for smaller companies. It's just me, so you deal with the same person from the first call to the last fix.

The name is a nod to an underdog that won by building smarter instead of bigger.

Questions people ask

How much does business automation cost in Singapore?

It depends on how many steps and systems are involved. A single bot or one email-to-spreadsheet flow starts from S$1,500. Bigger jobs that connect several systems cost more. After the first call I send one fixed price in writing, before any work starts.

Will we need to change the software we use?

Usually not. I work with what you already have, like your email, Google Sheets, Excel, Google Drive, WhatsApp or Telegram. The point is to stop people copying information from one to another.

Can you turn emails and PDFs into rows in a spreadsheet?

Yes. That's what the logistics project above does. The email and any attached PDF are read, the details go into the right place in your sheet, and anything unclear goes to a person to check.

Can my staff use it through WhatsApp or Telegram?

Yes. The renovation bots above run on Telegram, and the same kind of bot can run on WhatsApp.

How long does a project take?

A small project usually takes two to four weeks, including the time it runs alongside your team. Bigger ones are done in stages, and you can use each stage before the next one starts.

What happens if something breaks?

You get an alert, and your team can do the job by hand in the meantime because the manual steps stay written down. Fixes and small changes are covered by the monthly care plan. Without a plan, I charge by the hour.

Is my business data safe?

It stays in your own accounts: your email, Drive and Sheets. Documents are read using paid business AI services, which don't use your data to train their models. I don't share it with anyone.
