Business automation

Stop depending on someone remembering the next step.

Reminders, assignments, status updates and repeat steps can move by rule. Your team can focus on approvals and exceptions that need attention.

Routine work calculator

How much routine work happens in your office every month?

Enter four easy numbers. We’ll show how much of that work follows the same steps each time.

Your numbers

Change any figure and the estimate updates as you go.

  1. Count the people who spend part of their day on repeat work, not only full-time staff.

  2. 12
    160

    Checking, asking, approving, copying, sending, updating, reminding, following up.

  3. 4 min
    1 min30 min

    Include the time spent waiting for a reply or looking for the information.

  4. 80%
    0%100%

    Think about work where the same checks, updates, messages or steps happen again and again.

How we calculate this
  1. We count 22 working days in a month.
  2. We multiply your people by their routine actions a day, and by those working days.
  3. We multiply those actions by the minutes each one takes, and turn it into hours.
  4. We split those hours by the share you said follows the same steps each time.

This shows where automation may be worth checking. It does not mean every repeatable task can or should be automated. This is a simple estimate from the numbers you entered. It is not a promise of time saved.

Where work slows down

Eight routine things teams often do by hand.

Each one looks small. Together they can take a lot of time.

  • Check“Has the payment come?”
  • Ask“Is this approved?”
  • Approve“Can we release this order?”
  • Copy“Enter the same customer details again.”
  • Send“Email the document to the next person.”
  • Update“Change the status manually.”
  • Remind“Tell someone the due date is tomorrow.”
  • Follow up“Ask why the work is still pending.”

When these steps repeat the same way, a rule can handle the routine part.

How it moves

Watch one job move by rule.

A purchase request, from the moment it is raised to the moment the buyer knows.

  2. Amount checkedOver ₹50,000Happens by rule
  3. Manager approval neededAnita approvesA person decides
  4. Buyer assignedSureshHappens by rule
  5. Status changes to ApprovedHappens by rule
  6. Buyer is notifiedEmail and in-appHappens by rule

In this example, two steps need a person: one raises the request and one decides. The other four happen by rule.

Only exceptions should need attention.

Routine work that follows the rule keeps moving. Unusual cases stop for your team.

Rules, in plain words

Every rule reads like a sentence.

You decide when something should happen. After that it happens without being asked.

  • When a request is above ₹50,000Ask the manager to approveIn-app
  • When payment is due in 3 daysSend an email reminderEmail
  • When stock goes below reorder levelCreate a purchase request
  • Every Monday morningEmail last week's reportEmail
  • When a document is submittedAssign the next personIn-app

Reminders and updates go by email or as a notification inside the system.

Manager view

See the exceptions, not every process.

Your team should see what is waiting instead of checking every process one by one.

What we can automate

Explore the areas we can automate.

Start with the work that is taking the most time. Connect the rest later.

  1. Reduce repeated data entry

    Capture information once and carry it forward, instead of typing the same details into another form.

  2. Tell the right person when something needs attention

    Let a business condition create an alert or task, so the right person knows what needs action.

    Email and in-app can be native. WhatsApp requires an integration.
