The Problem

Most businesses lose hours every week to work that should not require a person.

Many businesses lose hours every week to repetitive tasks, manual data entry, copy-and-paste processes, status update emails, spreadsheet handoffs, and disconnected systems that require manual intervention at every step. This assessment identifies the automation opportunities with the best return on investment and provides a clear picture of what to automate, in what order, and with what tools.

Who This Is For

For business owners and operations teams ready to reduce manual work

This assessment is a strong fit for small and midsized businesses where operations rely heavily on manual processes, email, spreadsheets, and staff time to move information between systems. It works well when a business owner or operations manager knows there is a better way but is not sure where to start or which tools to use.

It is also a useful starting point before a Fixed-Scope Automation Sprint, helping identify which workflow to tackle first and whether the scope is right for a focused implementation engagement.

Pricing note: Pricing shown is starting pricing for standard-scope engagements. Final pricing depends on environment size, number of systems, complexity, urgency, and any requested work outside the standard scope.

These starter engagements are intentionally scoped to produce useful outcomes without turning into open-ended consulting projects. If your environment is larger, more complex, or requires hands-on implementation, SullySoft can provide a separate estimate before any additional work begins.
