Solution

Process Automation

Replace reminder-driven admin with configured rules for approvals, schedules and document chains.

The problem

A surprising share of administrative effort is people moving information between places: forwarding an approval, retyping an invoice, remembering that a schedule is due. It is invisible in any budget line, and it is where most capacity quietly goes.

The approach

How BPS handles it

  • Rules instead of reminders

    Recurring work is generated on a date or a trigger.

  • Approvals as routing

    Thresholds decide who signs, not who happens to be copied.

  • Documents that create documents

    An order becomes a delivery becomes an invoice.

  • Exceptions surfaced

    The system escalates what is stuck rather than waiting.

Capabilities involved

  • Approval thresholds

    By document type, value and department.

  • Recurring schedules

    Invoices, maintenance and reports raised on time.

  • Document conversion

    One document generates the next in the chain.

  • Notifications

    Targeted at the person who must act.

Automating one cycle at a time

Automating one cycle at a time

  1. A high-volume manual cycle identified
  2. Rules and thresholds agreed with the people who run it
  3. Automation configured and run alongside the manual process
  4. Manual step retired once the outputs agree

What changes

  • Routine work raised without prompting
  • Approvals that cannot be skipped
  • Fewer transcription errors between documents
  • Capacity returned to work that needs judgement
