Business Process Automation

Automation pays back fastest on work that is repetitive, rule-based and currently done by a person moving information between systems. That work is usually easy to spot: it happens on a schedule, everyone dislikes it, and it is where mistakes come from.

Workflow automation starts at A$2,000 and typically takes one to four weeks, which makes it the fastest-payback work we do.

Good candidates

Fix the process before automating it

Automating a broken process makes it break faster. Part of this work is asking whether a step is still needed at all - the cheapest automation is deleting a step nobody can justify.

What it costs

From A$2,000, typically one to four weeks. Because the work is small and the saving is recurring, payback is usually measured in months.

Common questions

What can be automated?

Anything rule-based and repetitive. Judgement calls stay with people, though the information they need can be assembled automatically.

Will this replace staff?

In our experience it removes the part of the job people like least, and it is more often the alternative to hiring than to a redundancy.

How do we know it is working?

Automations report their own failures rather than failing silently, which is the difference between one that is trusted and one that is checked manually anyway.
