For small and medium businesses
Automate the busywork, keep the judgment calls
A small business can automate repetitive work such as data entry, invoice reminders and reporting by connecting the tools it already uses. We help you choose the tasks worth automating, leave the judgment calls with your people, and build it so it keeps working.
Your situation
Which manual task costs you the most?
Pick the task that takes the biggest share of your week. You will see whether we would automate it or leave it with a person, and why.
What usually happens next
Typing the same data into several systems
Automate it. Retyping is the clearest case: the rules are fixed and the mistakes are expensive. We connect the systems so a record is entered once and copied everywhere it is needed, with a check that flags any copy that fails.
- One place where each record is entered
- Failed transfers reported to a person, never dropped quietly
- Built on the tools you already pay for
Chasing unpaid invoices
Automate the routine, keep the awkward conversations. Reminders on a schedule, matched against payments received, are easy to automate. A customer who disputes a charge still deserves a person, so those cases go straight to someone on your team.
- Reminders that stop as soon as a payment arrives
- Disputes and exceptions routed to a named person
Building the monthly report by hand
Automate it, once the numbers are agreed. If two people calculate revenue differently, automation only makes the disagreement faster. We agree each figure's definition first, then pull the data on a schedule into a report that refreshes itself.
- One agreed definition for each figure
- Quality checks before the report goes out
Approving quotes, discounts or refunds
Keep the decision manual and automate around it. Approvals involve judgment and money, so a person should still decide. What can go is the paperwork: collecting the details, sending the request to the right approver and recording the answer.
- Requests that arrive complete, with the facts attached
- A record of who approved what, and when
Answering the same customer emails
Partly. Order status, opening hours and delivery times can be answered from your own systems and help pages. Complaints and unusual requests should reach a person quickly, with the history attached, rather than sit with a bot.
- Routine questions answered from your own information
- A clear handover to a person when it matters
01 Sound familiar
Sound familiar?
-
The same customer details are typed into the CRM, the invoice and a spreadsheet, and every copy is slightly different.
-
Month end means a day of exporting, pasting and checking figures before anyone can say how the business is doing.
-
You tried an automation tool once, it broke quietly when a form changed, and the team went back to doing it by hand.
02 A typical situation
What this usually looks like
A growing services business usually arrives with a handful of tools that do not talk to each other, one spreadsheet that holds them together, and one person who knows how that spreadsheet works.
We would map where each piece of information starts and where it gets copied, automate the transfers with checks, and leave approvals and customer conversations with people. The spreadsheet would retire only after the new flow had run alongside it.
