EXAMPLES

Business process automation examples, by industry.

Seven examples of repeat work we automate: what we built, what it saved and which kinds of companies it fits. Where we have a real result, we show the number. Where we don't, we say so.

WITH A MEASURED RESULT

Four projects, four results

Client names stay private, so each project is described by its industry. The numbers are real.

RETAIL · REAL PROJECT

The weekly report took up to 2 days

Store data, sales data and other sources are collected and prepared automatically, turned into a report and delivered to the inbox.

Ready every Monday between 9 and 10 am, the same every time. About 2 days a week freed for strategy work.
Under the hood: Python, SQL, Power BI, ThoughtSpot

ENGINEERING · REAL PROJECT

Every new project started from a blank page

An AI assistant looks through old risk registers, finds similar risks and drafts a new register. The risk manager checks it before it is used.

About 8 hours of work down to about 3 for each new project.

CONSULTING · REAL PROJECT

Writing posts took hours every week

An AI assistant inside the company's own Microsoft Azure environment drafts LinkedIn posts from project documents, in the company's tone. The team approves every post before it goes out.

About 45 minutes saved per post. With about 3 posts a week, that is over 2 hours back every week.
Under the hood: Azure, SharePoint, AI drafting

MEDIA · REAL PROJECT

Every episode came with days of marketing work

Social media dashboards bring the numbers from every platform together on one screen. An AI strategist shows what works, why, and the next action for each episode.

About 2 days of work saved per episode, spent on research instead. A niche podcast reached 50,000+ viewers on Facebook Shorts and Reels.

MORE WE BUILD

Other kinds of repeat work we automate

One real project without a time-saving number, and two typical examples we have not published a client result for yet.

ENGINEERING · REAL PROJECT

Soil properties were only known after lab tests

Models trained on existing geotechnical data predict soil properties in the design phase, before any lab test is run.

Dry unit weight could be predicted from existing data. Friction angle could not, because there was too little data.
Under the hood: machine learning (Random Forest, neural networks)

ANY SECTOR · TYPICAL EXAMPLE

We copy data between systems

Your tools talk to each other. A new order, lead or file moves to the right place on its own, so nobody retypes it.

No client result to show for this one yet. The aim is no double entry and fewer mistakes.

ANY SECTOR · TYPICAL EXAMPLE

Nobody can find anything in our documents

An assistant reads your company files and answers questions, with a link to the source.

No client result to show for this one yet. The aim is answers in seconds instead of asking a colleague.

WHAT TO AUTOMATE FIRST

How to tell if a process is worth automating

Ask these five questions about a task. As a rule of thumb, if you answer yes to three or more, it is probably worth a call.

  • It happens every day or every week.
  • It follows the same steps every time.
  • People copy or retype the same data.
  • Someone has to wait for it before they can continue.
  • A mistake in it costs time or money.

WHAT TO LEAVE ALONE

Not everything should be automated

Work that changes every time, needs judgement about people, or happens only a few times a year is usually not worth automating. We tell you honestly when software or a simple fix is enough.
