Too much still done
by hand?
Copying information from one tool to another. Generating the same documents. Sending the same reminders. Manually checking the status of a file.
A single task sometimes takes a few minutes. Repeated hundreds of times, it becomes a real cost.
Slash analyses the process before automating anything.
The method
Automation starts with understanding the real work.
A process should not be automated simply because it is repetitive. We first look at:
- What triggers the task
- Who is involved
- What information is needed
- Which tools are used
- Which exceptions exist
- Where errors appear
- How much time the process really takes
Only then do we decide what deserves to be automated.
The situations
Typical situations.
Repetitive data entry
The same information is copied between emails, spreadsheets, CRMs, business software or documents.
Manually generated documents
Quotes, reports, confirmations, files or PDFs are regularly assembled from the same information.
Reminders and notifications
Someone has to remember to follow up with a client, notify a team or check that a step has been completed.
Internal requests
Requests still go through email or phone when a simple workflow could structure them.
File tracking
You have to open several systems or ask several people to know where a file stands.
Reporting
Data from several tools has to be gathered manually before it can be used.
The answers
What we can build.
Depending on the problem, the answer can be very simple or require a custom tool.
- Automations between your existing tools
- Internal workflows
- Automatic notifications and reminders
- Document generation
- Data synchronisation
- Dashboards
- Internal tools
- Business applications
- API integrations
- AI-assisted automations where AI genuinely adds something
The right choice
Automating the right process.
Our goal is not to add technology everywhere.
A good automation must reduce real friction: lost time, errors, double entry, a lack of visibility or an excessive dependence on manual tasks.
Sometimes a few automations are enough. Sometimes an internal tool becomes more relevant. Sometimes the process simply needs to be simplified before being automated.
The measure
What we measure.
- Time saved
- Manual steps removed
- Errors avoided
- Processing time
- Volume that can be handled
- Tool adoption
- Cost of the process before and after
When the diagnosis leads to development, it builds on our work in custom web applications and can continue with ongoing digital support.
The questions we get asked.
Straight answers, before we even talk.
Which tasks can be automated?
The best candidates are usually frequent, repetitive tasks based on relatively clear rules. But feasibility always depends on the tools, the data, the exceptions and the existing process.
Do we have to replace our current software?
Not necessarily. In many cases it is better to connect or complement existing tools rather than replace them.
Is it necessarily a big project?
No. Some automations can stay very focused. The goal is to match the solution to the real value of the problem.
Can you build a custom tool if automation is not enough?
Yes. Slash also develops web applications, internal tools and portals when the process requires a specific interface or business logic.
Which process costs you time every week?
Show us how it works today. We will first look for where the friction really is.
