Map how the work gets done
Combine activity from employees’ computers with your SOPs, email and chat messages, and system records. The model shows each step, who does it, and how long the work waits.
Decide what should change
Simplify unnecessary steps. Use ordinary software for fixed rules, agents for suitable judgment tasks, and people for decisions that need their expertise.
Choose the projects worth doing
Compare the expected benefit with the cost and effort to deliver it. Agree who owns the result and how you will measure it before building.
Deploy and keep it running
Test the selected workflow, agree approval rules, and put it into use. Follow completed work, resolve exceptions, and compare results with the baseline.
Invoice workflow
- Work completed (Job system). Records.
- Assemble invoice (3 systems, 28 min). Missing documents: 2.4 days.
- Review & approve (Finance team). Missing information: 18% return for rework, back to Assemble invoice. Approved.
- Ready to bill (Billing system).
An agent can prepare the record.
See where the time comes back.
Follow hours saved by department and their salary equivalent. Compare completed work with the time your team still spends reviewing it.
A team can use the time it gets back to clear a backlog, reduce overtime, or take on more work. Follow that change alongside implementation and running costs.

We build around your systems and test against real examples before an agent runs.
