What gets automated

A check at every step

An error costs little where it starts and a lot where it is found. So every hand-off of the information gets its own automatic check.

  1. On arrival

    The incoming document is complete, readable and not a duplicate.

    What it prevents A missing document is requested straight away, not at filing time.

  2. At entry

    Each field is compared with its source: amount, VAT, dates, identifiers.

    What it prevents A typo is stopped before it enters your software.

  3. Between two systems

    The same figures on both sides: accounting, CRM, dashboards.

    What it prevents No more gaps to reconcile at month end.

  4. Before sending

    Complete file, correct totals, right recipient.

    What it prevents What reaches the client, the funder or the accountant is right the first time.

The cost of the same error

  1. Stopped on arrivalone click to fix
  2. Found at closingrows to dig through to find it
  3. Found by the clienta credit note, and less trust
The billing case: 59 validation points across 6 companies

The tool depends on the task

Always the simplest tool that does the job.

How it works

  1. A 15-minute call

    You describe the task. A straight answer: it can be automated, or it cannot.

  2. The on-site audit, free

    90 minutes at your office: the task observed as it is really done, and timed.

  3. A one-page report

    Today’s time, the numeric target and the test that will say whether it is met. Signed the same day.

  4. You pay if the test passes

    The automation is built, then the same test is rerun on the same files. For the first process, if it fails, you pay nothing.
