Small business / 01
One-workflow automation brief
Example: organize inbound customer inquiries
Objective
Create a reliable intake and review workflow while a person remains responsible for customer replies.
In scope
- Capture approved intake fields
- Flag duplicates and missing information
- Suggest a category and next action
- Route exceptions to a named owner
Evidence to review
- Time spent handling a comparable request
- Requests with a recorded owner and next action
- Duplicate, missing-data, and routing exceptions
Decision gate
The workflow owner reviews normal, duplicate, incomplete, and failed-request test cases before a live pilot.
Agree the evidence
Define what better
actually means.
Choose a baseline and a small set of measures together. A pilot should help you decide whether to proceed, revise, or stop.
Process speed
Time from one team’s completed action to the next team’s usable input.
Data quality
Duplicate records, missing fields, rework, and reconciliation effort.
Adoption & cost
Workflow usage, exception volume, provider costs, and support effort.
Measures depend on the workflow and available data. Specific savings, returns, and performance improvements are not guaranteed.
Before we talk
Questions from
your stakeholders.
Bring your constraints and open questions to the first conversation.
Ask about your projectDo we have to replace our CRM or accounting software?
We assess the existing tools first. The scope confirms integration options, data quality, permissions, and any subscription limits before recommending replacement or new software.
Can a pilot expand across teams or locations?
Yes, once the first workflow meets agreed acceptance criteria. Each additional team or location is assessed for differences in data, process, access, training, and support.
Who owns the system after launch?
Each workflow has a named client owner. GEAR provides the agreed documentation and training, and can take on defined maintenance and improvement responsibilities through a managed service.
