Your business, on autopilot.

Vela is the AI admin layer built for Australian SMBs. It triages your inbox, chases unpaid invoices in your voice, and keeps your calendar full — quietly, in the background, so you can get back to the work that pays the bills.

What Vela does

Three jobs your admin shouldn't have to do.

Vela handles the repetitive, high-volume work that eats your evenings. It learns your tone, your services, your rules — then takes the wheel.

Smart Inbox

Vela reads every new email, tags it by intent, drafts a reply in your voice, and surfaces only the ones that actually need you. No more 200-unread Mondays.

  • → Auto-triage by topic and urgency
  • → One-click reply suggestions
  • → Outlook & Gmail supported

Invoice Chasing

Vela watches your Xero or MYOB ledger and chases late invoices on a polite, escalating schedule — written like you would, with your phrasing, your signature, your boundaries.

  • → Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks
  • → Configurable tone & cadence
  • → You approve, Vela sends

Booking Fill

An empty slot tomorrow? Vela offers it to the right person on your waitlist, confirms it, and updates your calendar — before you've finished your coffee.

  • → Smart waitlist matching
  • → SMS & email confirmations
  • → Cliniko, Halaxy, Acuity ready
Built for

Allied health first. Trades next.

We started with clinics — places where one missed booking is a real hole in the week and one unpaid invoice is a real conversation. The same engine now plugs into trades, consultancies and any service business that runs on inbox and calendar.

Why we built Vela

25 years of small-business IT. One pattern, everywhere.

Every clinic, every trades business, every consultancy we've onboarded over two decades has the same bottleneck: an owner-operator buried in inbox, chasing money, and rebooking appointments at 9pm. Vela is the answer we kept wishing existed.

It runs on the same secure AWS infrastructure we use for our managed clients, with Australian data residency and SSO via Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Built by Starboard. Supported by Starboard.
