Full advisory
Complete advisory focused on designing lean and automated business processes. Fast and user-friendly tools are developed using software that is already available to the client, like MS-Excel, MS-SQL, MS-Access, SAS, etc. Hence, there is no need for additional expenses.
- Average time reductions have been over 80% in past projects.
- Average project duration: 30-45 days.
- We integrate the client's expertise to design tailored solutions.
- Automated tools are developed without the use of macros. In this way, information security risks or software incompatibilities are mitigated.
- Automated tools are equipped with error-proofing alerts. Additionally, they are capable of managing large datasets while being fast and easy to use.
Project stages:
1. Redefine deliverables.
2. Redefine data.
3. Redefine required systems and actors.
4. Redefine process steps.
5. Automate manual tasks.
6. Document the essential process know-how into the automated tools.

Database audit
Audit service focused on error-proofing databases to identify data inconsistencies, mistakes and missing information. Additionally, a set of recommendations to keep databases error-free is delivered at the end of the advisory.
By counting with flawless and complete data, reporting and transactional processes run fast and accurately.
Advanced Excel training
Course on pragmatic data-modelling techniques and advanced MS Excel formulas. The course is targeted to non-IT employees. Participants learn error-mitigation methods to build fast and accurate reports. Pre-requisite: basic MS-Excel knowledge.
Content:
- Efficient data repository modelling.
- Efficient report structuring.
- Conditional and matching formulas and techniques that keep reports working fast despite containing large datasets.
- Design of error-proofing alerts.
Staff performance insights
Audit service focused on getting insights about employees' performance through hard-data. We achieve it by modelling transactional-data gathered from business processes that require human intervention.
As an unbiased third-party, our service guarantees to put improvement opportunities under the spotlight.
Example #1:
An employee fills a registration form at a point-of-sale (POS). The IT department had set some automatic data validation criteria for the information registering. Our mission is to find out: (1) if the IT has done a correct set up over the years and (2) if the employee at the POS is working methodically.
Example #2:
Three different areas work together in a heavy-machinery conditioning operation. Each of them complies with requirements throughout the process. Our mission is to identify which requirements were achieved by each area and its timing, over the years.
