Process analysis and mapping
We map the process step by step and decide together which steps can be expressed as rules, which need a human decision, and where the automation should stop.
We analyze processes that run manually, depend on specific people and consume time — then turn data transfer, reporting, document handling and system-to-system integrations into flows that need far less intervention.
Scope
Automation isn't handing every task to a machine. We separate the repetitive, rule-based steps and leave the judgement to people. Flows are built on enterprise automation platforms, and where the standard building blocks fall short we develop purpose-built modules.
We map the process step by step and decide together which steps can be expressed as rules, which need a human decision, and where the automation should stop.
We set up data exchange between tools that don't talk to each other — ready-made connectors for common enterprise applications, an API connection or interface automation for the rest.
Data is extracted from incoming forms, spreadsheets, PDFs and email attachments, validated, pushed into the right system, and output documents are generated automatically.
Compiling, formatting and distributing the reports you produce daily, weekly or monthly moves onto scheduled jobs.
Approval requests, reminders and status updates live inside the flow, so who a step is waiting on — and for how long — is always visible.
Every run is logged, and the rules for retrying, halting the process and notifying the right person are defined in advance.
Outcomes
The point isn't replacing people — it's freeing the team's time for the work that genuinely needs a decision.
How far it goes
A large share of what people do at their computers during the day can be handed over to an automation system.
If someone logs into the ERP, opens a record in the accounting software, pulls data out of an Excel file, moves it into another system, checks invoices, processes orders, reviews stock levels, prepares reports, sends emails or updates customers, a significant part of those steps can be made automatic.
A process doesn’t have to repeat exactly the same steps to be a fit for automation. Where it takes different paths in different situations, the decision points and possible scenarios are defined and the algorithm is built around them.
The system can act differently depending on the type of incoming data, the customer’s status, the transaction amount, the stock level, the content of a document or rules set in advance. Where it fits, it completes the work automatically; in another case it routes the item to a different system or asks for human approval.
Automation is therefore not just a “bot repeating the same action”. Variable processes, decision logic and branching scenarios can be turned into digital workflows as well.
A system doesn’t need an API connection to be brought into an automation. Where an API exists, data exchange and certain operations run more directly, faster and in a more scalable way. But ERP systems, accounting programs, desktop applications, web panels and in-house software without an API can be automated through their user interface.
What an employee does with a mouse and keyboard — locating fields on screen, clicking buttons, moving through menus, reading, copying and typing data, and handling files — can be carried out by the automation the same way.
Older or closed systems therefore don’t have to stay outside the process. Depending on the technical make-up of the system in place, we build an API integration, a UI automation, or a hybrid that uses both.
Automation systems can build end-to-end workflows across ERP software, accounting programs, CRM systems, desktop applications, web panels, Excel files, PDF documents, email systems and in-house software.
Say an employee opens their computer in the morning, logs into the ERP, checks incoming orders, posts invoices into the accounting software, updates an Excel sheet, reviews stock levels, emails customers and prepares a report for their manager at the end of the day. Most of that can run under a single automation flow.
The system doesn’t have to follow a fixed order either. One action when the order can be filled, another when stock is short, an approval step above a certain amount, a different check when data is missing.
Whether the software in use offers an API is not decisive on its own. Where an API fits we use it; where it doesn’t, the automation drives the application itself, the way an employee would.
The system can log into the applications it needs, check data, decide based on conditions, carry out the work, record the results, and pass on only the points that genuinely need human judgement.
How we work
We begin with the single process that costs the most time. Once that flow runs and the gain is visible, we widen the scope. It lowers the risk and gives the team time to settle into the new way of working.
What you receive
Every automation is delivered with a process map, defined rules, scenarios describing what happens when something fails, and a monitoring view where you can see the run history. The flows run in your own corporate environment; ownership stays with you.
We watch the process with the person who runs it day to day and record which screen does what, where each piece of data goes and how long every step takes — producing both a process map and a concrete estimate of the time to be won back.
Decision points, exceptions and the steps that need human approval go into writing, along with an integration plan covering how each system will be connected. Where the automation should stop is settled here too.
We build the flow and test it against real data and failure scenarios. Before go-live it runs in parallel with the current process on a limited scope, so the results can be compared and the switch made with confidence.
We watch the run logs, fix the steps that stumble and report what the flow is actually saving. Based on that result we widen the scope to the next process and grow the automation step by step.
Who it fits
If one of these is on your team's agenda, that is where automation pays off first.
FAQ
The questions we hear most often on automation projects. If yours isn't here, write to us.
No. Automation sits between the systems you already use and connects them. If a software change does turn out to be necessary, we explain why and set out the alternatives before anything is decided — the call stays yours.
Yes. Where there is no API, we build the flow through the application's own user interface, or on export files, email attachments and scheduled reads. We review the connection options the system exposes and state in the quote which method we will use.
With the process that repeats most often and costs the most time. Starting with one flow shows the gain quickly and lets you widen the scope from there.
Failure scenarios are part of the flow. What gets retried, what stops the process, and who is notified are defined in advance — and every run is logged.
Setup time follows the number of steps in the process and the systems to be connected. Once the analysis is done we put the timeline in writing, stage by stage. Automating a single process takes considerably less time than a full ERP project.
