Processes

First the workflow,then the software

New software only makes a cumbersome workflow cumbersome faster. We look at how work really runs in your business and simplify before you invest.

In short

We map the most important workflows in your business, from quote to invoice or from order to delivery. We find bottlenecks, duplicate work and breaks between systems and simplify the workflows. The result is a target process and a roadmap showing which steps should be digitalised. FNLY IT can handle the technical implementation, commissioned separately.

Typical bottlenecks in small and medium-sized businesses

  • Data is entered several times, in software and in lists
  • Quotes take days because information is missing
  • Follow-up questions between sales, production and accounting
  • Knowledge sits in the heads of individual employees
  • Nobody knows exactly where an order currently stands
  • Software has been bought but is only partly used

How we proceed

  1. 01

    Mapping workflows

    On site with the people who do the work. We record the current workflow as it actually runs.

  2. 02

    Assessing bottlenecks

    Where is time lost, where do errors occur, and roughly what does that cost per year?

  3. 03

    Simplifying

    Removing steps, combining them, clarifying responsibilities. Much can be done without new software.

  4. 04

    Digitalisation roadmap

    Which steps are worth digitalising, in what order and with what effort.

What you have at the end

Current and target process

Presented clearly, for the most important workflows in your business.

List of bottlenecks

With an estimate of effort and benefit so that you can set priorities.

Digitalisation roadmap

Requirements in your own words that any software provider understands.

Independent of providers

We do not sell software and do not receive commissions. If you want FNLY IT to handle the technical implementation, it is commissioned separately. You can just as well implement the roadmap with your existing IT partner.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between process optimisation and digitalisation?

Process optimisation improves the workflow itself: fewer steps, clear responsibilities, fewer follow-up questions. Digitalisation transfers steps into software. If you digitalise first, you carry the old detours over into the new system.

Which methods do you use?

We map workflows together with the team, usually as simple flowcharts, and assess each step by time, errors and benefit. We focus on clarity, not on a particular school of thought.

How many workflows do you look at?

In the assessment usually two to three core workflows, for example from quote to invoice. We map further workflows as needed on separate workshop days.

Do we have to work with FNLY IT afterwards?

No. The roadmap is written so that any provider can implement it. FNLY IT is one option, not a condition.

Where do you lose the most time?

In the initial call we find the workflow that is worth a closer look first.
