Nerd Quirk: Fezzes are cool. As a devoted fan of Doctor Who, I can’t help but channel my inner Time Lord and embrace the charm of the iconic fez. Inspired by the Eleventh Doctor’s eccentric fashion sense, I’ve developed a fondness for these distinctive hats. Wearing a fez brings a touch of whimsy and a nod to the wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey adventures that the Doctor embarks upon. It’s a fun and playful way for me to pay homage to one of my favorite science fiction series and connect with fellow fans who share the same enthusiasm for the Time Lord’s sartorial choices. So, remember, in the words of the Doctor himself, fezzes are cool!

Our Journey
In the world of technology and e-commerce, where things move at an astonishing pace, the ability to streamline processes and remove bottlenecks is crucial. That’s where DataAutomation enters the picture, with our mission of taking the busyness out of business.
Our story starts in 2016, nestled within the innovative ecosystem of RoundSphere, a tech accelerator renowned for fostering promising startups. RoundSphere had a vision for pushing the boundaries of technological innovation, and from this dynamic environment, DataAutomation was born. Our goal from the get-go was clear: to simplify and expedite integrations for e-commerce companies, making their operations smoother, faster, and more efficient.
Why DataAutomation, you might wonder? Well, the answer lies in the simplicity of our name. We firmly believe in ‘saying it as it is’, and so, DataAutomation was chosen. No clever puns or rhymes, although we do have a knack for both. Instead, our name is a straightforward reflection of what we do – automating data processes. It’s succinct, precise, and to the point, much like the business processes we work so tirelessly to customize for our clients.
Since our inception, we’ve grown from strength to strength, leaving a significant mark in the world of automation. We’ve had the privilege of integrating and automating processes for over a thousand different systems, each with its own unique challenges and solutions. This journey has enriched us with invaluable experiences and insights, deepening our understanding of the intricate world of e-commerce.
But what truly drives us is our passion. A passion for making businesses run better, faster, and more efficiently. A passion for taking the busyness out of business by helping our clients focus on what they do best, while we handle the complexities of integration and automation. It’s this passion that fuels our dedication, and we are humbly honored to have been chosen by so many businesses to bring this passion to their operations.
At DataAutomation, we don’t just provide a service. We build relationships, foster growth, and strive to be a trusted partner in your e-commerce journey. Our story is one of innovation, commitment, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. But most importantly, our story is about you – our valued clients – who inspire us to constantly push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of automation.
