Ctrl+X

Repetitive work automation

We cut out of the process the steps where a person resolves nothing: moving data, re-typing documents, and building the same reports.

Ctrl+X in a process — only decisions remaincut: 9 steps

What we usually cut

Processes worth automating first.

The list is not closed — these are the processes that most often become a first pilot.

Sales01

Importing customer orders

Orders from emails, files and customer portals land in the ERP with no re-typing.

Finance02

e-Invoices in and out

Integration with the national e-invoicing system, making document management easier.

Management03

Management dashboards

Building clear views that become the core management tool.

Compliance04

Sanctions list and counterparty checks

Automatic verification of an entity when a record is created.

Tax05

VIES and VAT status

Verifying VAT numbers with confirmations saved.

Marketing06

Content production from existing material

Automating descriptions, posts, newsletters and documentation.

Quality07

Audits and on-site client checks

Collecting data while filling in protocols and final reports.

Data08

Records and master data

Setting up and updating customer records from one source.

Five questions

Think of one specific process in your company and answer. Nothing is sent — the answers stay in your browser.

01Does this process follow the same rules every time?
02Is the input data digital — files, emails, system records?
03Does a person make a decision in it, or just move information?
04How often does this process repeat?
05Can you write down the rules for exceptional cases?

Answer all five to see the recommendation.

What it looks like

One process to the finish. Then the next one.

We start with one process that can be completed and measured. Choose a step to see what happens.

Step 1

Choosing a process and measuring

We sit down with the people doing the work and break one process into steps. If the numbers don't justify automation, we say so before implementation.

What you achieve in this step
  • A written-out process, split into steps
  • Frequency and duration
  • A clear recommendation on the use of technology

What we build it with

We pick the tool to fit the process, not the other way round.

Ours

Dedal — our RPA platform

In-house automation software, ideal for repetitive processes that do not require complex operations.

Integrations

Custom code and APIs

Communication between applications and purpose-built integrations where they are required.

Documents

OCR and document reading

Invoices, orders, specifications and scans — we extract the data and enter it into the system.

Models

LLMs for classification and extraction

Recognising and extracting data from unstructured text.

The difference

Automation is software. We treat it seriously.

We are a technology company with 27 years of experience, not a quick-script team. The difference shows six months after launch, when a file format changes or a new ERP field appears.

When something stops working, you are not left alone — we're a trusted adviser, not just a supplier.

Ctrl+X cuts work from one process. When figures diverge across the company, we start with Ctrl+A.
After launch

Monitoring and alerts when the process stops.

Changes around it

Ongoing responses to changes in the business environment.

Development

Improving the tool after gathering usage data and feedback.

Continuity

The documentation and code are yours. We do not create dependence on one person.

Questions

Four frequently asked questions.

ALT

Not seeing your question? ALT knows how we work and answers directly — including when the honest answer is “this is not worth automating”.

Ask ALT
01Where do we start if we have several processes to cut?+

With one. We pick the one that is frequent, repetitive and has a clear effect, so we get proof rather than another project in limbo.

02Does automation mean layoffs?+

No, we cut work that is repetitive. Automating it can only speed things up.

03Our system has no API. Can something still be done?+

Yes, we can use our in-house RPA platform, Dedal.

04What happens when a supplier changes a file format or regulations change?+

That is part of maintenance. Monitoring catches the change and the same team that built the automation fixes it.

Pick one process. We'll plan the rest around it.
