Custom Automation Solutions

Zapier charges you $850 a month for 30,000 tasks. Make breaks when a platform updates its API. And neither can handle the complex, multi-step business logic your workflow actually requires. We build custom-coded automation solutions — data pipelines, API integrations, and workflow automations — that run reliably, scale without per-task pricing, and give you code you own instead of another subscription you’re locked into.

What We Deliver

• API Integrations — Connect the tools you already use so data flows automatically between them. CRM to email platform, payment processor to accounting software, form submissions to project management — any two systems with APIs, connected
• Automated Reporting — Stop building reports by hand. We create systems that pull data from your sources, process it, and deliver formatted reports on your schedule — daily, weekly, or in real time
• Data Pipelines — Automated systems that collect, clean, transform, and route your data where it needs to go. No more copy-pasting between spreadsheets or manually importing CSVs
• Web Scraping & Data Collection — Purpose-built tools that gather competitive intelligence, pricing data, inventory updates, or any structured information from across the web
• Custom Workflow Triggers — Event-driven automations that fire when specific conditions are met — new lead comes in, invoice hits 30 days past due, inventory drops below threshold
• Monitoring Dashboards — Simple interfaces that show you what’s running, what’s completed, and what needs attention — so you trust the automation without checking manually

How It Works

We start by mapping out the manual work that’s eating your time. Where does data enter your business? Where does it need to go? What steps happen in between? Most businesses have 3-5 workflows that are obvious candidates for automation — the repetitive, rule-based tasks that someone on your team is doing by hand every day or every week.

Once we identify the highest-impact automations, we build them with code — not no-code tools that break at scale. We use Python, Node.js, and serverless functions to create solutions that run on a schedule or respond to triggers in real time. Every automation gets error handling, logging, and a simple monitoring interface so you can see exactly what’s happening without needing to understand the code.

We built a custom web scraping and data management dashboard for Hi-9 Trucking that replaced hours of manual data collection. That’s the kind of project we specialize in — taking a painful manual process and turning it into something that runs itself. After deployment, we monitor the automations, handle any edge cases that come up, and adjust as your business needs change.

Who This Is For

Custom automation solutions are built for businesses with climbing Zapier or Make bills, teams juggling 5 or more disconnected tools, and operations where someone is spending hours each week on repetitive data entry, report generation, or system synchronization. If you’ve outgrown basic no-code automations, if you’re paying per-task pricing that scales with your growth, or if your current integrations break every time a platform pushes an update — you need code-first solutions that actually scale.

Why HI Banzai

The math is simple. Zapier at scale costs $10,000+ per year and goes up as your business grows. A custom-coded automation is a one-time investment — typically $5,000 to $12,000 — with minimal ongoing hosting costs. Most clients break even within 6-12 months and save money every month after that. More importantly, you own the code. There’s no platform dependency, no per-task ceiling, and no risk of your entire workflow breaking because a no-code tool changed its pricing or deprecated a feature. We build solutions that your business controls completely.
