LA is a pin on a national agency's map. For us, it's a drive. For a national agency, Los Angeles is a pin on a coverage map. For us, it's a drive, not a flight.
AmiFi is a South Bay engineering firm working across LA County: manufacturing and aerospace, the ports and logistics, healthcare and billing, and the professional services that fill every office park. We automate the manual back-office work into the systems you already run, and because we're in the county, on-site is a drive, not a flight.
LA County runs a thousand different businesses on the same manual busywork.
Manufacturing and aerospace.
The South Bay and the Valley are dense with machine shops, device makers, and aerospace suppliers. Purchase orders get re-keyed, quality and traceability docs get assembled by hand, and the ERP never talks to the quoting spreadsheet.
The ports and logistics.
Around Long Beach and the harbor, freight forwarders, brokers, and 3PLs live in shipment documents and portals that were never built to connect, with a person carrying data between them all day.
Healthcare and billing.
Practices and clinics across the county re-key patient intake, chase eligibility, and assemble claims by hand, the same forms typed twice before anyone gets paid.
Professional services.
The law, accounting, insurance, and real estate offices that fill LA's office parks run on client intake, document review, and recurring reports rebuilt from scratch every cycle.
Owner-operated shops and practices.
The whole operation depends on one spreadsheet only the owner understands, and the admin waits until after closing, so the business quietly runs on someone's evenings.
Systems that were never connected.
Whatever the industry, the pattern is the same: the booking tool, the billing software, the inbox, and the paperwork each hold a piece of the truth, and a person is the integration layer.
First a call, then we come out, because it's a drive, not a flight.
Same senior engineers from the first conversation to production. No junior handed your account, no discovery template filled in from another state. We're in the county, so whatever on-site work the job calls for is a drive on a normal week, not a travel line item billed back to you.

Intro Call, Over Meet
FREE · 30 MIN · GOOGLE MEETThirty minutes over Google Meet, usually within the week you reach out. Walk us through how an intake, an order, a shipment, or an invoice actually moves through your day, and who touches it along the way.
You'll get an honest read on the call. If automation won't earn its keep, we tell you and part as friends. If it will, we name the two or three highest-value targets and quote the Roadmap, which is usually where we come see the work in person.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH- An honest read on whether automation earns its keep here
- The highest-value targets in your operation, ranked
- A fixed fee for the Roadmap if you want to go deeper

The Automation Roadmap
FIXED FEE · 2 WEEKSA fixed-fee, two-week engagement. We usually spend a day or two where the work happens, watching the process end to end, map how your systems really connect, and rank the automation targets by projected time and dollar return.
You walk away with a written plan you own, whether you build with us or not, plus a fixed quote for the build. If you build with us, the Roadmap fee comes off the build price.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH- A map of your workflows and where the hours leak
- Ranked automation targets with projected returns
- An integration plan that fits the tools you already run
- A fixed quote and timeline for the build

Build, Integrate, Support
FIXED SCOPE · WEEKSYou approve a fixed scope before we write a line of code. Then we build the automation into the systems you already run, ship working software in weeks, and train your team before we call it done.
Everything is yours: code, data, documentation. We support it through a contract or as-needed, and being in the county means a hand on-site is a drive, not a red-eye flight.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH- Production software running inside your systems
- Training and documentation for your team
- Local support, sized to how you operate
In the region, not on a coverage map.
- Actually in Los Angeles County.
We're based in the South Bay and we work across the county. The first call is over Google Meet, but when a visit helps it's a drive on a normal week, not a consultant flown in and billed back to you. A national agency treats LA as one pin among fifty; for us it's home turf.
- Senior, US-based engineers only.
Every engineer is a US citizen working in the United States. Behind the local address is a team that's led production systems in Fortune 500 healthcare, payments, aerospace, and high-growth startups. No offshore handoffs, no junior learning on your retainer.
- One team for the county's whole spread.
We've shipped in healthcare, payments, aerospace, and manufacturing-adjacent operations, which is exactly the range LA County runs on. The pattern under the industry, document-heavy work and disconnected systems, is the pattern we automate.
- Fixed quotes, no open-ended billing.
A defined-scope build is a fixed quote you approve before we start, and changes are quoted, never absorbed into a runaway invoice. Support runs as a retainer, and where a flat rate doesn't make sense we work hourly against a cap you approve.
- You own everything we build.
Code, data, and documentation are yours from day one. No lock-in, no platform you're renting forever, nothing that holds your operation hostage if you ever bring it in-house.
What LA operators ask first.
Do you come to us?
Yes, when the work calls for it. The first call is 30 minutes over Google Meet, so there's nothing to schedule around to get a straight read. If it makes sense to go further, we're based in the South Bay and work across LA County, so a visit is a drive on a normal week, not a consultant flown in on your dime. The Roadmap usually opens with observation days at your site, because how the work really flows rarely shows itself over a webinar.
Which parts of LA do you serve?
All of LA County. We're based in the South Bay, so the closest work is in Redondo Beach, Torrance, and El Segundo, and we're a straight run down to Long Beach and the port. From there it's the same drive out across the county: the Westside, downtown, the Valley, and the Gateway cities. If you're in the county, we can get to you.
What does it cost?
There's no published price, because the right number depends on what we're automating. The first call is free. If we go further, the two-week Automation Roadmap is a single fixed fee quoted on that call, and any defined-scope build is a fixed quote you approve before we start. Ongoing support runs as a retainer sized to your operation, and when a flat rate doesn't make sense, we work hourly against a cap you approve. No open-ended billing running in the background.
How fast can we start?
The intro call is usually within the week you reach out. If we both want to go further, the two-week Automation Roadmap can start soon after, and a defined-scope build begins once you approve the fixed quote. You're never waiting on a national firm to route your account through three offices before anyone talks to you.
Why you instead of a national agency?
A national agency puts Los Angeles on a coverage map and dials in from another state, or flies a consultant out and bills you for the trip. We're a senior, US-based team that already lives in the county, so on-site is a drive, not a flight, and the engineers who scope the work are the ones who build it. Same seniority, local, without the travel line items.
