BUSINESS AUTOMATION

Index What we do S/01

Automate the work nobody should be doing by hand.

Data retyped between two systems. A report rebuilt every Monday morning. An approval that sits in someone's inbox for three days. We find where the time actually goes, then build something that removes it.

S/01 / Scope

What this covers.

01.01

Workflow automation

Multi-step processes that currently run on reminders and good intentions — routed, tracked, and logged.

01.02

System integrations

Two tools that should talk to each other but don't. We connect them properly, with error handling that surfaces failures instead of swallowing them.

01.03

Document and data processing

Invoices, forms, spreadsheets, and exports parsed into structured data your systems can use.

01.04

Scheduled reporting

The weekly numbers assembled and delivered without anyone opening a spreadsheet.

01.05

Approvals and notifications

The right person told the right thing at the right moment, in the tool they already have open.

01.06

Data migration and cleanup

Moving records between systems without inheriting a decade of duplicates and empty fields.

Signals

Where this usually starts.

01

Someone rebuilds the same report every week from the same three sources.

02

The same data is entered twice because two systems don't talk.

03

A process only one person knows how to run, and they're going on leave.

04

Errors keep appearing at exactly the same handoff between teams.

05

Your team's answer to "how long does that take?" is measured in hours, weekly.

Deliverables

What you get.

A map of the process as it really runs

Including the undocumented steps people invented to make it work.

The automation itself

Built on your existing tools where possible, custom where it isn't.

Monitoring and alerts

You find out when something fails, not three weeks later during a reconciliation.

Documentation and handover

Written so the next person can maintain it — including if that person isn't us.

Every engagement follows the same four stages — understand, design, build, improve. Scope and price are agreed before anything is built.

How we work

Questions

Asked often enough to answer here.

Do we have to replace the tools we already use?

Usually not. Most automation work connects and extends what you have. Replacing a tool is a bigger decision with its own costs, and we'd rather establish that the process works before recommending it.

How long does a first automation take?

A single well-defined process is typically two to four weeks from first conversation to running in production. Broader work across several processes is scoped in stages, so you see something working early rather than waiting for everything.

What happens when the process changes?

Processes always change. We build so that the parts most likely to move — rules, thresholds, recipients, templates — can be adjusted without a developer. For structural changes, we can handle them under a retainer or hand over enough documentation for your own team.

Will you work with our IT team?

Yes, and we prefer it. They know the constraints, the access model, and what's already been tried. We work to their standards for access, review, and deployment.
