BUSINESS ANALYSIS · SOFTWARE · AUTOMATION

Less repetitive work.
More time for your business.

When applications do not work together, documents are sorted by hand or the same information is entered repeatedly, it costs time and money.

I analyse existing workflows, modernise software and develop suitable automation, using artificial intelligence where it can help.

Personal consulting. Technical implementation. Fully remote.

YOUR STARTING POINT

Does this sound familiar?

Too much manual office work

Downloading and renaming documents, copying information and repeating the same steps every day.

Disconnected software

Your ERP, CRM and internal applications work in isolation. Data is transferred manually or maintained in several places.

Ageing applications

Software is important to daily operations, but updates, integrations or required features are missing.

No in-house IT department

You need someone who understands your requirements, evaluates solutions and implements them.

Often, the answer is a better connection between existing systems rather than entirely new software.

A PRACTICAL START

Understand the requirements before choosing a solution.

A new tool is not the answer to every problem. A configuration change, an integration or an automated workflow may be enough.

I document your processes, prioritise requirements and assess feasibility. You can commission analysis on its own. There is no requirement to commission development afterwards.

One possible document workflow. Rules, data handling and human approvals are defined for the specific use case.

Current situation

Which systems, data and steps are involved? Where do unnecessary work and errors arise?

Options

Which change would help? What alternatives and technical dependencies need to be considered?

Next steps

Which actions take priority? What effort and running costs should you plan for?

PERSONAL PRACTICE · NOT CLIENT REFERENCES

I work with the software I assess.

My own systems let me explore tools in daily use, including their limitations. Suitability for your business is assessed against your requirements.

Documents with Paperless-ngx

Personal operation covering imports, categorisation, permissions and experiments with AI-assisted processing. Relevant when reviewing document workflows.

Local AI & automated research

Ollama and an AI agent for scheduled research and notifications in my own setup. This includes assessing where results need to be checked.

Linux, NAS & Docker

Self-hosted applications in my own working environment. Operational experience informs tool evaluation; business requirements need a separate assessment.

FOR BUSINESSES

Different businesses. Similar sources of wasted time.

Trades businesses

Connect incoming invoices, quote filing and existing industry software more effectively.

Service businesses

Structure research, documents, reporting and tasks while considering access permissions.

Small and medium-sized businesses

Analyse existing systems, modernise legacy applications and connect data across tools.

Online retail

Connect product data, ERP and order processing, and review repetitive tasks.

These are potential use cases, not claims about completed client projects.

    Starting point

    Describe the problem, the systems involved and the outcome you need.

  2. 02

    Analysis

    We agree the review scope and clarify requirements, access and risks.

  3. 03

    Proposal

    I explain alternatives, effort, running costs and practical priorities.

  4. 04

    Implementation

    Once commissioned, I develop or configure the solution and test it.

  5. 05

    Ongoing support

    We can agree updates, adjustments or further development as needed.

All work is fully remote. Any necessary on-site hardware work is arranged with you or a local provider.

SCOPE & COSTS

Know what you are committing to before implementation.

The right solution and its cost depend on your existing software, data, integrations and objectives. We agree the work and effort before you commission it.

If a structured analysis is needed first, we agree its scope and budget separately. Ongoing hosting and licence costs are considered separately too.

BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE

Does this fit your project?

How does SP Webconsulting help businesses?

I analyse business workflows, develop custom software and integrations, automate repetitive tasks and modernise existing applications. I also help select and set up suitable open-source tools. Your specific task is the starting point.

Can I commission analysis on its own?

Yes. Business analysis and technical consulting can be commissioned independently. We agree the review scope and expected deliverables in advance. There is no requirement to commission development from me afterwards.

Do we need to replace our existing software?

Not necessarily. We first assess whether configuration, an integration or a focused extension is sufficient. Replacement is an option when requirements and the condition of the existing system justify it.

Does every automation use AI?

No. Fixed rules and conventional integrations are sufficient for many workflows. AI is considered when it fits the task. Data access, output quality and necessary approvals are then part of the planning.

What do you need for an initial discussion?

A short description of your current situation, the software involved and the outcome you need is enough to make contact. Include any timeframe you have. Passwords and confidential documents are not needed at this stage.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Which task costs your business unnecessary time?

Briefly describe how you work today and what you want to improve. I will reply personally to discuss practical next steps.

Discuss your project

An order is only agreed after we have discussed the scope.
