Quick automations that save hours
You don’t need an ERP or a giant custom system to stop copying and pasting data all day. Simple automations solve specific pain points without over-engineering.
Automations worth doing
- Connect tools you already use: Zapier, Make, or simple scripts can unite your CRM, spreadsheets, and email without coding from scratch.
- Automatic reports: Instead of building the same Excel every week, a script can do it for you and email it.
- Validations and alerts: If a critical process fails or important data changes, you get a real-time notification.
- Frictionless data entry: Forms or bots that load information directly where you need it.
Criteria for choosing what to automate
- Repetitive and predictable: If you do the same thing more than once a week, it can probably be automated.
- High time cost: If it takes 2 hours per week, that’s over 100 hours per year.
- Error-prone: Tasks where copying a number wrong creates operational or financial problems.
Avoid over-engineering
You don’t need a 6-month project to automate something. Start with:
- Quick proof of concepts: A basic automation that works in days, not months.
- No-code or low-code tools first: If you can solve it with Zapier or Google Apps Script, don’t spend on custom development.
- Gradual iteration: Automate one process, measure impact, then move to the next.
