Custom Business Automation Platform — illustrative image for a Business Automation project

Project Overview

Developed an automation platform covering workflow configuration, approvals, notifications and reporting. Routine steps run automatically, while exceptions are routed to a named human with the full context attached.

Business Challenge

Approvals, notifications, report generation and data entry are done by hand across departments. Each handoff depends on someone remembering to do it, and when a step is missed the error is usually found later by someone else.

Proposed Solution

Developed an automation platform covering workflow configuration, approvals, notifications and reporting. Routine steps run automatically, while exceptions are routed to a named human with the full context attached.

Technical Challenge

Each department had different workflows and approval processes. Built a flexible workflow engine that allows non-technical users to create and modify automation rules without code.

What It Does

  • ▸Runs repeatable steps without someone having to remember to start them
  • ▸Holds an approval to a defined chain, with an escalation path
  • ▸Notifies the right person automatically when their step is next
  • ▸Routes anything ambiguous to a reviewer with the supporting context attached
  • ▸Records where work is sitting, so bottlenecks are visible rather than inferred

Business Problems It Addresses

  • ✓Removes a class of routine coordination work and the mistakes that come with it
  • ✓Makes approval ownership explicit instead of implicit
  • ✓Keeps work moving without waiting for someone to check on it
  • ✓Shows where processes actually slow down, which is where the real cost sits
