How It Works
Six steps from 'show us' to a process that runs itself and stays supported.
Start with one repetitive task. You show us how it happens today; we handle the analysis, build, installation and ongoing support.
How it works
Show us. We analyse. We build. It runs.
You do not need a specification. Show us the job exactly as it happens today and we take it from there.
-
01
Show us
Show us the task exactly as it happens today, on a call or in a short screen recording. No technical explanation required.
Step 1 -
02
We analyse
We identify the repetitive steps, the systems and files involved, what can go wrong and where automation would help.
Step 2 -
03
We build
We develop and test the integration around your workflow, with validation and exception handling built in.
Step 3 -
04
We install
The required software is configured for your farm: local where it makes sense, cloud where it adds value.
Step 4 -
05
It runs
The process runs automatically, on a schedule, when a file arrives or on demand. You deal with exceptions only.
Step 5 -
06
We support it
Updates, compatibility maintenance, monitoring and support continue as part of your service.
Ongoing
Not everything should be automated
When we will tell you no
If a process happens twice a year and takes ten minutes, bespoke software will not make financial sense, and we will say so. Automation is best suited to repetitive, predictable, rules-based work where the value exceeds the implementation and support cost.
The useful question is not 'how long does it take once?' but 'how often do you do it?'. A 20-minute process performed every working day is roughly 87 hours a year and about 433 hours over five years.
Trust line: if software will not create a genuine practical benefit, we will tell you.
Discovery
Questions we ask on the first call
Show me something you hate doing on the computer
The best starting point is the job you dread, not a technology wish list.
What do you find yourself entering twice?
Double entry is the clearest sign that two systems should be connected.
Which spreadsheet takes too long every week?
Repeated spreadsheet operations are strong automation candidates.
Which process relies on one person knowing exactly what to do?
Key-person dependency is a risk we can turn into a documented, repeatable process.
