Professional Engagement · Implemented Automation
The business challenge
A small company with limited technology and staff was spending about 60 hours a month producing complex client waste-compliance reports.
The work performed
Process and controls assessment
Mapped the reporting workflow, client compliance obligations, approval points and approximately 60 hours of monthly manual work.
Inputs and outputs analysis
Identified source records, data fields, required calculations, report outputs and reporting formats.
Product and architecture selection
Evaluated automation options and selected a practical approach using existing accounting software and available APIs.
Data transformation and reporting design
Specified data extraction, transformation, validation, report generation and output formatting.
Environment and systems integration
Coordinated environment setup, configuration and integration with offshore programming resources.
Implementation and automation
Implemented the end-to-end workflow, including processing logic and automated report production.
Testing and validation
Tested data accuracy, workflow behaviour, controls and report formatting against the required outputs.
The result
The automated workflow reduced monthly reporting from approximately 60 hours to less than one, a reduction of more than 98%. The business could support growth without proportional reporting headcount.
