Which processes to automate first

Automating everything at once is costly and pointless. We show how to pick the processes that give maximum effect for minimum money.

The main mistake is trying to automate the whole business at once. That's expensive, slow and risky. It's smarter to start with a few processes that give a fast, visible result. Here's how to find them.

The rule of three signs

Automate what: 1) repeats often and identically; 2) eats a lot of time from expensive employees; 3) regularly fails due to the human factor. A process where all three overlap is your first candidate.

Typical «first» processes

Collecting and routing leads, reminding clients, generating standard documents and invoices, reports for the owner, syncing data between systems, notifying the team of important events. This almost always pays off the fastest.

What not to touch first

Rare, complex or creative processes where every case is unique. Automating them is expensive and the payoff is small. At RADOBO we help build a queue: what to do now, what comes next, and what isn't worth automating at all.
