The problem this solves
Automation sprawl has a shape: workflows accumulated over years, half of them named 'Copy of Copy of', some fighting each other over the same properties, a few silently erroring for months. New automations get built next to old ones because nobody dares touch what exists. The team stops trusting automated updates, starts double-checking manually, and the time automation was meant to save quietly comes back as verification work.
How we work
We start by making the automation estate visible: an inventory of workflows and their purposes, enrollment volumes, error rates, and overlaps. The first cycles usually include a cleanup wave, retiring dead workflows, merging duplicates, and fixing the silent failures that have been corrupting data in the background.
From there, the monthly rhythm: error and performance review every cycle, fixes applied within the hour band, and a running backlog of automation improvements prioritized with you. Small builds ship from the backlog each month, whether that is a routing tweak, a new notification, or an internal SLA timer. Naming conventions and documentation standards keep the estate legible, so the next person who opens the portal understands what fires when and why.
Larger automation projects, like a full lead routing redesign or a cross-system orchestration build, get scoped separately; the retainer then maintains what they deliver.
Deliverables
- Workflow inventory with purpose, volume, and error data
- Monthly error and performance review with fixes applied
- Consolidation and retirement of redundant automation
- Small automation builds from a prioritized backlog
- Naming and documentation standards applied portal-wide
