The problem
Someone capable is spending two hours a day copying between systems. It is invisible on any report, it is the first thing to break when they take leave, and it never gets fixed because nobody has a spare week.
How we approach it
- 01
Watch the real job first
We record the actual process, including the exceptions people handle without thinking. Those exceptions are where naive automation fails.
- 02
Loud when it breaks
Silent failure is worse than no automation. Every script alerts a human on failure and never fails halfway through a batch.
- 03
Readable by your next developer
Commented source, documented setup, no clever tricks. You are not buying a black box.
Common questions
- What can be automated?
- Anything with rules. Report generation, data entry between systems, invoice processing, file renaming, scraping, reconciliation, bulk email.
- Do we need a server?
- Small scripts can run on an existing machine. For anything scheduled and important we set up a small cloud instance, which is usually a few hundred rupees a month.
- What if the source system changes?
- Thirty days of fixes are included. After that, adapting to an upstream change is a small quoted job, not a rebuild.
