1. Data entry & daily reports. If someone copies numbers between sheets or rebuilds the same report every morning, that's pure waste. Automating it usually saves the most hours for the least effort — start here.
  2. Invoicing & GST. Generating invoices by hand is slow and error-prone. Automatic, GST-compliant invoices with payment reminders get you paid faster and cut mistakes.
  3. Attendance & payroll. Calculating salaries from registers invites errors and disputes. An attendance-to-payslip flow removes the manual math entirely.
  4. Inventory alerts. Running out of stock — or over-ordering — both cost money. Automatic low-stock alerts keep you in the sweet spot without daily checking.
  5. Lead follow-ups. Leads go cold when follow-ups slip. Automatic reminders and templated WhatsApp messages make sure every enquiry gets chased.

How to choose your first one

Ask two questions about each task: how many hours a week does it eat, and how painful is a mistake? The task that scores high on both is your starting point.

Automate the one process that's bleeding the most time. Get the win. Then move to the next.

You probably already have the tools

Most of this runs on Google Sheets and Google Workspace — tools your team already knows. There's no expensive software to buy and no per-seat licence. You own what gets built.
