Business process automation

Process automation means having software carry out the handling your teams currently repeat manually: re-keying data, reconciling records, producing reports, routing files. At Nexnet it is built around how your company actually works, shipped to production in 90 days, and the source code is handed over to you.

Most small and mid-sized companies don't have one big automation problem — they have twelve small ones. Someone copying orders from an inbox into a spreadsheet. Someone else rebuilding the same report every Monday morning. A file sitting for three days because nobody knew it arrived. Taken one at a time, none justifies a project. Added up over a year, they often come to a full-time position.

So the work starts with an inventory, not with a choice of tool. We measure how often each piece of handling comes back, how long it takes, and what breaks when it's rushed. Those numbers — yours — decide what is worth automating.

When automation is justified

  • The task recurs at least weekly and follows rules that can be written down
  • The data already exists somewhere: an ERP, a spreadsheet, an inbox
  • Human error carries a real cost — a lost order, a late invoice, a poorly served customer
  • Several tools each hold part of the information and nothing connects them

When it isn't

If the rules change every time, if the task comes back three times a year, or if it needs judgement nobody can articulate — automation will cost more than the problem. We'll say so at the first meeting rather than on the final invoice.

What gets delivered

Frequently asked questions

How long before we see an effect?

We demonstrate a working product to you before it goes live, and production happens within 90 days. The effect is measured in hours recovered per week, and we establish that count before starting so it can be checked afterwards.

Do we have to replace our current software?

Almost never. Automation usually plugs into what already exists — your ERP, your CRM, your spreadsheets — rather than replacing it. Replacing a system while automating its use doubles the risk and adds nothing.

Does this eliminate jobs?

In the companies we work with, the effect is almost always to free people from work they dislike, not to replace them. The same people gain the hours — and they know best what to do with them.

What if our processes aren't documented?

That's the majority of cases. Writing them down is part of the discovery stage, not a prerequisite. Many clients say the mapping was worth having regardless of the software.
