What changes when the work is automated

Illustrative before-and-after examples of the kinds of projects we take on. They use synthetic demonstration data and are not client case studies - your project will be scoped to your own process.

Monthly sales consolidation

Excel Automation · illustrative
Before
  • Five regional workbooks arrive by email, each with slightly different columns
  • Rows are copied into a master sheet and totals checked by eye
  • A region missing from the month is easy to overlook
After
  • Power Query imports every file dropped into one folder and aligns the columns
  • A check sheet flags missing regions and totals that do not reconcile
  • Refresh once; the summary and charts update

Weekly operations report pipeline

Workflow Automation · illustrative
Before
  • Attachments saved from several emails into a shared folder
  • Data pasted into a report template, then exported to PDF
  • The process stops when the one person who knows it is away
After
  • Source files collected into a fixed location in a consistent format
  • A macro builds the report and saves the PDF with a dated name
  • Written instructions so anyone on the team can run it
