Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

We have a 3-step process that starts with an initial consultation to understand the company and goals, followed by user interviews to dig deeper into processes and pain points, and then scoping out specific workflows and automations to address those needs.

The goal is to deliver value from the start through a subscription model rather than big upfront costs.

It’s common for our clients to be at different stages in their automation journey. Some have no automations in place, others are far advanced. As the saying goes – the best time to start something was yesterday, the next best time is today.

We start the process through a series of consultations, interviews, focus groups and workshops. This ensures that we tailor our approach to your unique situation, and will guide you through the process.

Our subscription has a rolling 3-month contract, giving the perfect mix of flexibility whilst allowing for acheiving the best possible results.

No, but the subscription is on a rolling 3-month contract, so you can cancel after any 3-month period.

Yes, whilst our subscription designed to cover a broad range of needs, we offer custom solutions and pricing for unique or exceptionally complex requirements.
  1. Reduction in Operating Costs: A Deloitte report highlighted that intelligent automation offers considerable savings in operating costs for businesses. By streamlining business processes and improving productivity, companies that implemented this technology reported savings between 25% and 40% on average​​.

  2. Benefits Beyond Cost Savings: The ROI from intelligent process automation platforms extends beyond direct financial savings. It includes improved service deliverability, greater employee satisfaction, and enhanced business agility. These ‘soft’ benefits contribute to the long-term, transformational impact of intelligent process automation on businesses, as recognised by CIOs and IT leaders​​

If you commission us for bespoke work outside a subscription, the workflow will be owned by you.

On the other hand, if an automation is created as part of a subscription, ownership will remain with us, but you will be granted a license to use it within your company and on systems not managed by us.

This gives you the flexibility of having access to all automations created, whilst keeping costs low.

How is this calculated?

Example scenario

Task Time Percentage: 25% (0.25) of the work week is spent on repetitive tasks.

Step-by-step calculation

If 25% of the work week is spent on repetitive tasks, that leaves 75% of the time for other productive work.

By automating these repetitive tasks, the entire workweek becomes effectively productive. The maths is simple: previously, only 75% of the time was productive. After automation, 100% of the time is productive. So, the productivity increase is calculated from 75% to 100%, which is about a 33% increase in productivity.

Or as we’ve shown in the calculator, this is a 1.33x increase in productivity.

How is this calculated?

Example scenario

  • Task Time Percentage: 25% (0.25) of the work week is spent on repetitive tasks.
  • Speed Factor: Let’s assume an automation performs a task 5 times faster than human work (in reality, it will be a lot higher than this)

Step-by-step calculation

  1. Automation’s Effective Work Hours:
    • Automation capacity: 7 days per week (168 hours).
    • However, it works at 5x the speed of a human.
    • Therefore, the effective human work equivalent
      human work hours per week.
  2. Adjusted Automation Hours:
    • The automation replaces 25% of the human workweek, which is 10 hours.
    • But since it works 5 times faster, it does 10×5=50 hours of human work in that time.
    • Adjusted automation hours: 840×0.25=210 hours.
  3. Remaining Human Productive Hours:
    • Human hours not spent on repetitive tasks: 40−(40×0.25)=30 hours.
  4. Total Productive Hours (With Automation):
    • Total = 210 (automation) + 30 (human) = 240 hours.
  5. Original Productive Hours: 40 hours (standard workweek).
  6. Productivity Increase Calculation:

Result

We calculate a 6x increase in productivity because we consider that automation can effectively multiply the human work hours it replaces by both its speed factor and its continuous operation. In this case, it’s not just replacing the 10 hours spent on repetitive tasks; it’s effectively adding much more due to its higher speed and continuous operation.

Important note

This calculation assumes that the increased capacity of automation (working 24/7 at a higher speed) is fully utilised and directly translates to increased productivity. In real-world scenarios, the actual increase in productivity might be lower due to factors like the limits of how much additional work is useful or can be managed effectively.
