Business process automation sounds like something for factories. For a small company it means something plainer: a job you do the same way every time, handed to software, with a person stepping in when the job does not fit.
The six jobs
1. Quotes. Sending one when an enquiry arrives, and chasing it if nobody answers.
2. The diary. Booking jobs in, with confirmations and reminders.
3. Invoices. Raising them when the work is done.
4. Late payments. Reminding customers politely and repeatedly.
5. Copying details between systems. The email into the spreadsheet, the spreadsheet into the accounts.
6. The weekly report. Pulling the figures together so you do not.
Those are the jobs Dean Keating's website lists, along with replying to enquiries within minutes, answering questions across email, web and WhatsApp, sorting and routing messages and escalating to a person.
An example: a small building firm
The directory lists 19 building firms, counted on 10 October 2026, in the builders section. A small firm like that usually works through a chain: an enquiry, a site visit, a quote, a start date, stage invoices, a final invoice. Each link is a place where a message waits, and each handover is a place for details to be retyped.
Automation does not run the site. It tidies the chain. A new enquiry gets a prompt reply and a request for the address and a description. The details go into the diary and the quote template without being retyped. A quote with no answer gets a chaser. When a job finishes, the invoice goes out, and a late one is followed up. On Friday, the owner finds a short report instead of a pile of messages. Anything involving a dispute, a safety question or a change of price goes to a person.
Choosing the first process
Do not automate everything. Pick the one step where the delay costs you most, set it up, and watch it. If it works, add the next. Dean Keating begins with the single task that would make the most difference, according to his website.
What it needs from you
You need to describe how the job runs now, including the exceptions, and approve what the system may say on your behalf. The tools stay yours. No new software is needed for your customers.
