Process Automation

Automation that pays for itself

Automation projects fail for two reasons: automating the wrong thing, and building tools that nobody maintains. We pick automations that pay for themselves inside a year, and we ship them in tooling your team can own after we leave.

Our toolkit

• Odoo automated actions & server actions — where the process lives inside Odoo.
• n8n — self-hosted, open source, the default for cross-system flows we expect to keep running.
• Zapier / Make — for quick wins and prototypes. Reconsidered when volume justifies a self-hosted alternative.
• Custom Python / Node — when the logic is too specific or too sensitive for an off-the-shelf workflow.
• RPA — where a system has no API and a screen scraper is the only option. Used sparingly because these age badly.

How we decide what to automate

1. Measure — how long does the manual version take, how often, who does it?
2. Estimate — cost to build and maintain versus cost to leave manual.
3. Rank — highest payback first. Ship quick wins inside the first few weeks.
4. Instrument — every automation has monitoring from day one.
5. Review — quarterly, retire the ones that no longer earn their maintenance cost.
