To automate business processes well, you need to pick the right workflow, map it clearly, then hand the repetitive steps to software or AI. Many teams try to automate everything at once and get stuck. This post walks through a simple way to choose and automate one process first.

How to choose which business processes to automate first

Focus on processes that are repeatable, rule-based (or easy to describe), and time-consuming. Examples: HR FAQs, first-line support triage, quote-to-invoice flow, and approval workflows. Start with one, document the steps, then automate. Done-for-you AI agencies can build and run these for you so you don’t need in-house engineers.

When you automate business processes step by step, you cut cost and free time for work that actually needs people. If you want help designing or building your first automated workflow, contact us.
