Find the repeatable work first
Automation works best when the rules, inputs and exceptions are understood. We start by mapping the current process and identifying the steps that can be made consistent before deciding what to automate.
Common opportunities
Approvals & handovers
Route requests to the appropriate people and make status, ownership and outstanding actions easier to follow.
Data transfer & reporting
Discuss scheduled imports, exports, record matching and recurring reports between available systems.
Business rules & checks
Apply agreed validation rules, flag missing information and keep exceptions available for human review.
Design for exceptions as well as the normal path
An automated step needs an owner, a way to see failures and a safe recovery process. We discuss permissions, logs, duplicate prevention and manual fallback as part of the design.
Start with a bounded workflow that has a clear business purpose. Expand once the process and its exception handling have been tested in practice.
