Start with paths you can time
A process worth automating happens often, has rules two people can write the same way, and already has digital facts. The longer readiness test is on when to automate a process. This page is the shortlist that usually survives that test in an Indian SME office.
Processes that usually pay back
| Process | Why it earns a build |
|---|---|
| Supplier invoice to draft bill | Daily volume, fixed fields, errors show in reconciliation |
| Approval routing (leave, PO, credit) | Rules are simple once written; chasing is expensive |
| New staff account checklist | Same ten steps every hire |
| Customer email to ticket with order attached | Customer already typed the facts |
| Job or stock status notifications | People forget; software does not |
| Dealer claim intake from a form or PDF | High volume, needs an audit trail |
Document-heavy versions of the same idea sit under AI document processing when extraction is the front door.
Requests that are not processes
- “Make sales faster”
- “AI for everything”
- “Automate month-end” with no timed steps
- “Do what we do now, but in a new platform”
Those need a workshop or a systems review, not a workflow quote. Cost bands live on business automation cost.
How to pick the first one
Score frequency, minutes today, cost of being wrong, and a named owner. Pick the path with the best score and the fewest integrations. Delivery sits under business automation services.
