Flows
Draw how the work actually moves — the steps, the waiting, the approvals. Save a draft any time; nothing is live until you say so.

Your whole business,
on one graph.
A booking, an order, an enquiry, an application — Able models them all as flows, and every one lands as an item you can see, assign and finish. Nothing hides in a separate app you forgot to open.

Ten kinds of work, all included. You never pay more for being a different kind of business.
This is the whole build
Nothing to install, nothing to script, no consultant. Drop in what starts the work, add the stages it really goes through, and publish. That is the product.

Five steps and a fork, live. Save a draft any time — nothing reaches a customer until you publish.
And then it just runs
Every enquiry, order and booking lands as an item on the graph you drew, and walks it. You always know where a thing is and whose desk it is on — without asking anyone.

Six doors, one graph behind them
Each one is a different angle on the same work — never a separate system you have to reconcile at the end of the month.

Ask instead of hunting. It can do anything you can do in the app — and nothing you can’t.

Two people. One agent.
The same agent answers your team and your customers, and it can do a different set of things for each. What it is allowed to touch is decided by who is asking — never by how nicely they ask.

Do you run pottery classes in August?
Checking the public catalogue
Two, and both still have places. Wheel-throwing runs Saturday mornings; the glaze workshop is a one-off on the 14th.
Wheel-throwing · Sat mornings$45 · 4 places left
Glaze workshop · 14 Aug$60 · 2 places left
Book me into the glaze one
Held for 10 minutes. I just need a name and an email to confirm — nothing else, and no account needed.

The visitor can browse, book and buy. They never see a rate, a margin, or another customer’s details — and no amount of asking changes that.
Build
Draw it — don’t wire it
The canvas is the flow itself, not a picture of one. What you place is what runs, and what you publish is what your customers meet.
- Drag in what starts it, the stages it goes through, and what happens at each one
- Leave it half-finished and come back — a draft is never live
- Publishing checks the whole thing hangs together before a customer ever meets it
- Change a live flow safely: work already in progress carries on the way it started

Get paid
Money moves bank to bank
No card on file, no merchant account, no 2.9% + 30c. Akahu moves the money directly, and every number is computed where you cannot edit it.
- No card details, no merchant account, no monthly terminal fee
- GST, totals and invoice numbers worked out for you — and locked once issued
- Connect your bank once; money lands there directly
- Every sale, refund and payout leaves a record you can hand to your accountant

Move fast. Break nothing.
The parts you only notice when something goes wrong. They work exactly the same on the free plan as on the paid ones — you should never have to buy reliability.
It tries again for you
A slow reply or a hiccup at the bank does not lose the job. Able has another go on its own, and tells you if it still cannot get through.
Charged once, only ever once
Double-tap the button, refresh the page, lose signal halfway through — your customer is charged exactly once. Never twice.
A limit never hits your customer
Run out of automated emails and the flow still runs — the email leg is skipped, every in-app notice delivers, and the checkout completes as if nothing happened.
Everyone sees only their part
Customers see their own orders. Staff see the work assigned to them. Rates, margins and revenue stay with whoever you choose.
Nothing runs on trust alone
Every action is checked again at the moment it happens — so a link that got forwarded cannot turn into a back door.
You can always see what happened
Every run keeps its own history: what started it, what it did, and where it stopped. Nothing to take on faith.
Start free. Stay free until the work outgrows it.
Move up when the business asks for it — not because a trial ran out.
