Order confirmations, shipping notifications, inventory levels, reports from three different systems. When data moves by hand, mistakes happen and time burns. Automation fixes that.
Start with an assessment →Four examples that reduce manual work and errors. Each can be built in a day.
Before: Order arrives by email or through the system. Someone checks it, copies the details into a confirmation template, and sends it to the customer. 5–10 minutes per order.
After: Order is logged in the system. Confirmation goes out automatically with the correct details. Exceptions are flagged for review.
Savings: 30 orders/week × 8 min = 4 hours per week. Build time: 4–6 hours.
Before: Someone checks stock levels manually. When a product runs out, the reaction is rushed. Rush orders cost more.
After: Automation monitors levels in real time. An alert fires when a product approaches its minimum threshold. Orders are placed at normal prices.
Savings: Avoids rush orders + zero stockouts. Build time: 3–5 hours.
Before: Shipment leaves the warehouse. Customer calls to ask where their order is. Someone checks and responds. Unnecessary work for both sides.
After: When a shipment is logged, the customer gets an automatic notification with tracking details. No calls, no checking.
Savings: 10–15 unnecessary inquiries per week × 10 min. Build time: 3–4 hours.
Before: Weekly report requires data from warehouse management, transport system, and billing. Excel formatted by hand. 2–3 hours per report.
After: Report compiles automatically on Friday at 3 PM. Data is pulled directly from sources. Management receives it by email without anyone lifting a finger.
Savings: 2–3 hours per week. Build time: 4–6 hours.
Example: Transport company, 15 people. Order processing, inventory tracking, and reporting consume an estimated 15 hours of manual work per week.
Annual cost: 15h × 50 weeks × €25/h = €18,750 per year.
Automation cost: 15–25 hours of build work = €2,000–3,750 one-time.
Payback period: 2–3 months. After that, fewer errors, happier customers, and time for growth.
Automation Kickstart begins with an assessment: I go through the data flow between your systems, identify manual bottlenecks, and prioritize automation targets. The first automation is up and running within the same week.
In logistics, system integrations are key. I connect your existing systems to each other — without replacing anything.
