Your commercial processes automated one by one, at lower cost and higher quality
Research, target lists, order entry, follow-ups, service requests, status updates and reports. Each task is small, but together they take a large part of the week in inside sales and aftersales. We map your commercial process end-to-end, rate every step on what automation would improve, and automate the best candidates one by one.
Your end-to-end commercial process, rated for automation
The repetitive work runs itself and the team sells
Commercial processes automated, starting with the most repetitive and costly.
Higher quality and more consistency in every process that is automated.
Fewer FTE needed to deliver the same processes.
Around 450 activities checked automatically every week
A company with many projects running at once, and no central way to manage them, got a project management process that reports on itself. Data quality of project management tracking increased to 95% accuracy within 4 weeks and time to deliver projects dropped significantly, increasing the overall output of the organisation.
Average implementation time per project
Commercial admin grows quietly until it takes the week
The sales team spends too much of the day on repetitive tasks.
The same task is done differently per person or location.
Data is re-typed between emails, spreadsheets and the CRM.
It is not clear which tasks can or should be automated.
Every automation passes two tests: does it cut the cost of repetitive work, and does it raise the quality of the process
- 1Map your commercial process end-to-end, every activity with the time it takes.
- 2Rate each step on the cost of repetitive work and the quality of the process.
- 3Standardise the process before automating it, so you automate one process and not four variants.
- 4Build the automation and test it against the manual result until they match.
- 5Automate one process at a time: measure, fix what the data shows, then start the next.
