What automation maintenance is
Implementation is the beginning, not the end. Automation connects programs that live their own lives: the shop, the invoicing system, e-mail, the warehouse. When one of them changes, the automation can stop working. Maintenance is ongoing care to make sure everything keeps running together.
What maintenance covers
- Monitoring and notifications when something gets stuck.
- Fixes when one of the connected programs changes.
- Priority support when you need a fast response.
- Small improvements as the company grows.
- A quarterly summary: how much time and money you actually saved.
What it costs in practice
For orientation, here are the ranges you will find on the Polish market:
| System size | Example | Monthly cost |
|---|---|---|
| Simple | 1-2 connected programs | PLN 200 - 500 |
| Medium | Several processes with integrations and a results dashboard | PLN 500 - 1,200 |
| Extensive | Many processes, high traffic, a process critical for the company | PLN 1,200 - 2,000 |
Note: These are market ranges, not our price list. With us the fee depends on the scale of the system and how critical it is for you.
What happens without maintenance
Without oversight, automation works until something changes. And something always changes. The most common scenario looks like this:
- An update to one of the programs quietly breaks the process.
- For a while nobody notices, because nothing raises the alarm.
- Orders or enquiries get lost, and the company does not even know.
- The team goes back to manual work, and the savings disappear.
The most expensive automation is the one that quietly stopped working while you still think it is running.
How we price maintenance
The maintenance fee depends on the scale of the system and how critical it is for the company. You do not pay for hours. You pay for the certainty that the automation works and keeps paying you back.
