Automation Audit
What is an automation audit, and what should a business get out of one?
An automation audit is the fixed-fee first step: we map how your business really runs before anything gets built. You should come away with that map, every step marked for rules, AI or a person, the hours and rands at stake, and a fixed quote for the build.
Cape Town, South AfricaWhat the audit covers
What it covers
How the work really runs, step by step.
We sit with the people who do the work and write down every step, including the workarounds, the exceptions and who really signs off.
Most of this was never written down. It lives in people's heads.
Who does each step
Each step goes to rules, AI or a person.
Plain rules handle most routine steps. AI is used only where it genuinely helps, such as reading documents that all look different. The decisions that need experience stay with your people.
AI
A small slice
People
The decisions that matter
Illustrative. The audit gives your real split.
Questions we ask first
Is this still the best way to do it?
Before we automate a step, we ask whether it should still be done that way at all.
We also ask what you gave up on two or three years ago because it seemed too expensive, too technical or too slow. AI has moved a long way since then. Those old 'no' answers are often the best places to start.
What you get
What you have at the end of the audit.
Your process map
How the work really runs, written down, so the knowledge stays when people move on.
Every step tagged
Rules, AI or a person, step by step.
The cost today
The hours and rands the work takes the way it runs now.
A fixed build quote
What to build first, with a fixed price. You decide whether to go ahead.
Fixed fee, agreed upfront. You can stop after the audit.
Who it's for
Businesses with a real back office.
Payroll, people and HR, finance, IT and training, run on a system plus the spreadsheet everyone trusts more than the system.
It suits the owner, the MD, or the operations or finance director who carries that work, and the person who holds it all together day to day.
It isn't the right fit if the goal is fewer people. We automate tasks, not jobs.
