Solutions for Operations Teams

The best candidate is not the biggest process but the one that runs often, has clear rules and today depends on one person or one spreadsheet. Typical examples are handovers between departments, approvals, stock reconciliations and weekly reports that someone copies together by hand.

We start with a short review on site or by video call: who does what, with which tool, and where does work wait? The result is a list of effort and impact per process — and a recommendation on where to begin.

Not every problem needs an app. When data exists but is scattered, a dashboard that brings it together is often enough. When people carry data from one system to another, an automation between the systems helps. A custom application only pays off when the process itself has no home.

• Dashboard: figures from ERP, CRM and spreadsheets in one place, updated daily
• Automation: handovers, notifications and reconciliations without manual work — often with n8n
• Admin panel: one workplace for cases that currently live in emails and lists

Operations cannot stop for a changeover. So the new tool first runs alongside the old one, with a small team and real cases. Only when it holds up there does the rest follow.

We work with the people who run the process every day. They see the state each week and say what does not fit in practice. That saves the loop in which a finished tool fails on reality.

Before the start we record two or three values: lead time of a case, number of manual transfers, error rate or follow-up questions. After a few weeks of operation we measure the same values again.

Those numbers decide whether the next process follows — not a gut feeling. Related examples are on the document automation page.
