Workflows we put on autopilot

Six processes that cost small and medium-sized businesses the most time, and how they run once the systems behind them are connected.

Order to cash

Today: Orders arrive by email, phone and PDF and are typed into the ERP. Invoicing waits for paperwork, and payments are checked by hand.

What we connect

  • Email and order PDFs
  • ERP or accounting
  • Stock
  • Bank and payment provider

How it runs

  1. 1Orders are read from email and PDF and created in the ERP
  2. 2Stock is reserved and the customer gets a confirmation
  3. 3Delivery triggers the invoice, sent by email or Peppol
  4. 4Payments are matched and reminders go out on schedule

What changes

  • No order typed twice
  • Invoices leave the day goods ship
  • Cash position visible every morning

Lead to quote

Today: Requests come in through five channels, quotes are rebuilt from old documents and follow-up depends on someone's memory.

What we connect

  • Website forms, email and phone
  • CRM
  • Price lists and product data
  • Document templates and e-signature

How it runs

  1. 1Every request lands in the CRM with its source
  2. 2A quote is drafted from price lists and history
  3. 3A person reviews it, sends it and gets it signed online
  4. 4Accepted quotes become orders without re-entry

What changes

  • Faster first response
  • No forgotten follow-ups
  • A pipeline you can trust

Service jobs

Today: Interventions are planned by phone, reported on paper and invoiced weeks later, once someone has typed the reports in.

What we connect

  • Planning and calendars
  • Field app for technicians
  • ERP for parts and hours
  • Customer portal

How it runs

  1. 1Requests become planned jobs with the right technician and parts
  2. 2Technicians complete reports and signatures on their phone
  3. 3Hours and parts flow into the ERP
  4. 4Invoices are ready for review the same day

What changes

  • Shorter time from job to invoice
  • Complete, legible work reports
  • Customers see status without calling

Supplier invoices

Today: Supplier invoices arrive in every format, are keyed in by hand and then wait in someone's inbox for approval.

What we connect

  • Mailbox and Peppol
  • Document extraction
  • Accounting
  • Approval flow

How it runs

  1. 1Invoices are collected from the mailbox and from Peppol
  2. 2Amounts, VAT and lines are extracted and matched to purchase orders
  3. 3Exceptions go to the right person for approval
  4. 4Approved invoices are booked and scheduled for payment

What changes

  • Less keying, fewer errors
  • Approvals that do not stall
  • Ready for mandatory e-invoicing

Customer portal

Today: Customers phone and email to ask for order status, documents and copies of invoices.

What we connect

  • ERP and CRM
  • Document storage
  • Login and permissions

How it runs

  1. 1Customers log in to see orders, deliveries and invoices
  2. 2Documents and certificates can be downloaded
  3. 3Service requests are submitted in a structured form
  4. 4Everything stays in sync with your systems

What changes

  • Fewer status calls
  • A more professional customer experience
  • Requests that arrive complete

Management reporting

Today: Monthly numbers are assembled from exports, take an afternoon to build and nobody fully trusts them.

What we connect

  • ERP, CRM and accounting
  • A reporting database
  • Dashboards and scheduled emails

How it runs

  1. 1Data is pulled from each system on a schedule
  2. 2Definitions are agreed once and applied everywhere
  3. 3Dashboards update on their own
  4. 4Key figures arrive by email every Monday

What changes

  • One version of the numbers
  • No more report afternoons
  • Problems visible while they are small
