Every hour you spend copy-pasting is an hour you can buy back.

Three automations I build most often

Each one is scoped in a day and running within a week.

The time always hides in the same places

You don't need to automate everything. You need to find the one job costing you the most hours, and start there. In most companies it's somewhere on this list.

• MAIL
  Incoming requests
  Every message sorted, summarised and sent to the right person. Urgent ones ping you, the rest wait in one place.
• OCR
  Invoices and documents
  The PDF comes in, the lines come out: amount, VAT, supplier, reference. You approve an entry instead of typing it.
• BOOKS
  Reconciliation and chasing
  Matching, bank reconciliation, missing paperwork chased on its own. With e-invoicing landing in 2026, you may as well structure the flows now.
• SUPPORT
  Recurring questions
  Order status, lead times, return policy — answered from your real data, not a frozen script. Everything else reaches you with the context already gathered.
• HIRING
  Applications
  Every CV read and placed against the role, with the reasoning written down. Nobody gets dropped for lack of time.
• CONTENT
  First drafts
  Product copy, outreach emails, meeting notes — written from your notes in your tone. You edit instead of facing a blank page.
• STOCK
  What's about to run out
  Past sales, seasonality and supplier lead times reviewed every night to flag shortages before they hit.
• REPORTING
  The Monday dashboard
  The numbers go and fetch themselves from the ERP, the CRM and the books. The report is ready on the 1st, not the 12th.
• PROJECTS
  What's drifting
  Late tasks, pending approvals, blockers — all surfaced on their own, before the meeting rather than during it.
