Every organization has somebody spending two hours a day moving data from one place to another. That is not a problem with that person. It is a problem with systems that do not talk. This unit makes them talk.
When you need it
Once in the ERP and again in the spreadsheet, or the storefront, or the manager workbook. Every duplication is a chance for the numbers to disagree.
A process depends on one person and a file on her desktop. When she takes vacation, it stops.
And it is assembled by hand. By the time it exists, the decision it was meant to support has already been made.
What it covers
Anything a person does the same way every day can run on its own, with exceptions escalating to a human.
The value is almost never in a new system. It is in connecting the ones you already run.
Once the data moves on its own, measuring costs almost nothing.
Saying this early prevents projects that end badly for both sides.
How we decide
Before quoting we measure how much time the process consumes today. That number decides whether the project happens. This is the grid we fill in together during the review.
| Process | Frequency | Hours/month now | After | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Order entry into the ERP | Daily | 56 hrs | 4 hrs | Proceed |
| Stock updates on the storefront | Daily | 18 hrs | 0 hrs | Proceed |
| Payment reconciliation | Weekly | 12 hrs | 3 hrs | Proceed |
| Sales report by rep | Monthly | 6 hrs | 0 hrs | Proceed |
| New supplier setup | Monthly | 2 hrs | 1.5 hrs | Not worth it |
| Price list assembly | Quarterly | 4 hrs | 3 hrs | Not worth it |
Case
Questions
Almost always yes. With no API we work against the database in read mode, or by file exchange, or by automating the interface itself. It is less elegant and we say so plainly, but it works and it is what solves most real cases in small and mid-sized organizations.
That is rarely what happens and it is not what we propose. Typically the same team moves from keying data to serving customers or checking work. If your goal genuinely is reducing headcount, say so at the start so the project is designed with that in view.
Every automated process ships with alerting and a documented manual fallback. If something stops, somebody knows within minutes and there is a written procedure to carry on by hand while it is repaired.
Yes. Everything built is yours, with documentation and credentials. You can take it to another provider whenever you want. We do not use proprietary platforms that lock you in.
