Workflow Design & Automation

Most automation projects start with the technology. We start with the people. Learn what works, what doesn’t, then automate the rest.

What’s included

We learn the work before we automate it. We map what your team actually does, automate the busy work, and keep people where judgment matters.

Workflow discovery

What your team actually does, where it stalls, and what no process document captures.

Opportunity analysis

Every workflow scored on what to automate, what to redesign, and what to leave alone.

Redesigned workflows

Handoffs eliminated, roles clarified, your team’s judgment placed where it counts.

Working automations

Built to production standards and documented so your team can own and extend it.

Make it work, make it right, make it fast. In that order. Too many automation projects skip the first two steps.

How it works

Learn the work, fix the process, then automate

01

Learn what people actually do

Map the real process, not the documented one. The dependencies, workarounds, and judgment calls.

02

Redesign before you automate

Eliminate unnecessary steps and handoffs. Automating a bad process just makes it fail faster.

03

Build and hand off

Ship the automations, document everything, and hand your team the keys.

At a glance

What changes

Teams recover hours they didn’t know they were losing. The work that required five people and three handoffs runs on its own, with one person reviewing the output.

Process first

Every automation starts with redesigning the workflow it replaces

Human where it matters

Judgment stays with your team. The busy work doesn’t.

Built for

Built for teams that have outgrown their processes

Ops-heavy companies

Every manual step is a cost, and it compounds as you grow.

Scaling teams

What worked at ten people is breaking at fifty. More headcount won’t fix it.

Service businesses

Running the same playbook for every client, manually. That time adds up.

Internal ops teams

Finance, HR, or ops spending hours on work that should take seconds.
