# Alderstone Business Systems

> Practical business technology consulting for small businesses. We help owners find where revenue gets missed, costs creep up, and teams waste time — then fix those gaps with payments optimization, websites, automation, AI, and custom software when needed.

Slogan: Better Systems. Better Business.

## What we do

Alderstone Business Systems is a business technology consulting firm. We combine practical business discovery with hands-on technical implementation. Every recommendation should make more money, reduce unnecessary costs, or eliminate repetitive work.

Core services:
- **Payments** — reduce transaction costs, review processing rates, POS evaluation, online and recurring payments
- **Websites & online ordering** — business websites, direct ordering, booking, lead capture, conversion-focused journeys
- **AI & automation** — missed-call text-back, reminders, follow-up, review requests, lead routing, AI-assisted support
- **Custom software** — internal dashboards, portals, integrations, and operational tools when off-the-shelf products are not enough

We prefer off-the-shelf tools when they fit. Custom software is the last option, not the first.

## Free business technology audit

Alderstone offers a **free business technology and payment audit** with no obligation. We review payments and POS, website and ordering, customer acquisition and follow-up, administrative workflows, software spend, and AI/automation opportunities. You receive a prioritized opportunity map — not a pile of software recommendations. Implementation is optional.
