The recurring tasks I see most often in this department. Pick the one that hurt most last month.
Incoming supplier invoices arrive as PDFs attached to emails or as paper delivered with goods. Someone opens each one, reads the line items, and types the data — supplier, amount, VAT, category — into the accounting system.
Employees spend money on the company card or out of pocket — travel, meals, supplies, fuel — and submit receipts at month-end by email or as paper. Someone checks each one, enters the amount and category into a spreadsheet or the accounting tool, and reconciles against the card statement.
Customers who haven't paid by the due date are chased one by one — finance pulls a list and calls or emails each customer. Older overdue items sometimes slip below the radar until year-end.
At the close of each month someone pulls numbers from the accounting system, bank statements, payroll, and spreadsheets to build the management report — revenue, cash position, margin, overdue receivables. The assembly takes days and the numbers are stale by the time leadership reads them.
→If any of these sound like your week, a small machine can probably fix it. I've built fixes for problems exactly like these.
I built software used by 50,000 people every month with the teams above. The work in this department is simpler than that.
30 minutes, free. You describe one recurring task that eats your week. I tell you whether a small machine can take it off your desk, what it would take to build, and what it would cost. Whether you build it with me or not, you leave with a clear answer.
