In it’s simplest incantation ‘automation’ used to be a paper form. It had a place for all the information required. In a format that every user recognised. Users then knew what they had to do with that bit of paper. Pink to sales, yellow to production, green to finance…
These days, we specialise in writing custom software/apps giving you the tools to achieve all of the above. And where expedient, we join up the software that you currently use where it is adequate for the job. We don’t re-write google maps, but we could help you use them more efficiently.
Our best ROI to date…
One repetitive, onerous task used to take 20-30 minutes using a spreadsheet template. It converted just one FOB price (free on board, ex China) to the real cost of DDP (delivered, duty paid to their warehouse). It had to take into account quantity, volume, currency conversion, exit ports, shipping, duties, port costs, road haulage, fuel tax etc. Once automated it took existing info and in just 5 seconds gave the price for different quantity breaks. For this importer/wholesaler, the knock on effect throughout their organisation was immense.
