Service 05

Connect the handoffs that slow your team down.

Map a repeated process, connect the necessary systems and give people clear control of exceptions and approvals.

Who this is for

Operations leads managing repeated data entry, spreadsheet copies, message threads and disconnected tools.

Problems this service can help solve

The same job is copied between spreadsheets, email, and WhatsApp

Managers cannot see ownership, status, exceptions, or approval history

Quoting, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, and reporting do not share data

Common starting situations

The same data is copied between systems
Customers cannot see service progress
Leaders lack an operational view

What the engagement can include

Workflow and exception mapping
Integration design
Portals and operational views
Automation with review and approval controls
Monitoring and operating instructions

Scope limits

Unreviewed autonomous decisions
Replacing specialist systems without a proven reason

Investment & timeline

Plan the budget and schedule.

These are Digigen planning guides. Discovery helps define the milestones, assumptions, exclusions and work needed from your team.

Investment planning

Digigen uses R150,000 to R500,000+ as a planning band for an operational system. Integration count, data quality, exception handling, permissions and audit requirements shape the quote.

Timeline planning

A useful first operational slice is commonly planned over ten to twenty-four weeks after workflow discovery, with further modules released only when the first process is dependable.

Automation keeps consequential decisions and exceptions visible. It should remove repetitive coordination without hiding accountability behind unattended rules.

How we collaborate

Process owners review exceptions, test the workflow and keep control of decisions that affect customers or the business.

Frequently asked questions

Questions before starting a project.

What should be automated first?

Start with a repetitive, measurable workflow that has a clear owner, stable inputs, expensive handoffs, and known exceptions. Avoid automating an unresolved process.

Can Digigen integrate existing systems?

Yes, where supported APIs, credentials, data ownership, rate limits, and failure handling can be established during discovery.

Will automation replace our existing software?

Not automatically. We may connect the tools you have, replace one workflow or build around systems that still work well for the business.
