Workflow Automation

Most offices run a handful of processes that are entirely mechanical and entirely manual: intake typed into a second system, invoices chased by hand, the same follow-up email written for the four hundredth time. Automation takes those, and it works best when the process gets redesigned rather than copied.

We map what the person does now, step by step, before writing anything. Half the value usually shows up in that map, because a step that exists only to feed the next step disappears once the two systems talk to each other.

The automations are built to fail loudly. When an invoice does not match a purchase order, a person hears about it with the reason attached, instead of the run going quiet and the discrepancy surfacing at the end of the quarter.

  1. Intake
  2. CRM
  3. Invoice
  4. Follow-up

Nobody retypes anything. The handoffs your team does by hand happen while they are asleep.

// what you get

What's included.

  • Process mapping with the people who run the process today
  • Automated intake, routing, reporting, invoicing, and follow-up
  • Connections between the systems that currently need a human to copy between them
  • Exception handling that names what went wrong and who needs to look at it
  • Scheduled and event-driven runs, with a log you can audit
  • Handover documentation, so the automation is not a black box owned by a vendor
// where it fits

The situations this is usually bought for.

Intake typed twice

A form arrives by email and someone retypes it into the operations system. The automation writes it once, validates the fields, and flags the ones a person needs to confirm.

Monthly reporting that eats two days

Numbers pulled from four places into a spreadsheet, then formatted into a deck. The report generates itself on the first of the month and lands in an inbox with the anomalies called out.

Follow-up that depends on someone remembering

Quotes go out and go cold. The automation watches for the reply, sends the second touch on a schedule the team agreed to, and escalates the ones that matter.
