The 5 Processes That Repeat Across Almost Every Company

  1. 1Electronic invoice processing and ERP entry
  2. 2Initial lead handling and qualification (via WhatsApp or web)
  3. 3Data extraction from documents (contracts, certificates, forms)
  4. 4Automatic generation of technical reports or recurring reports
  5. 5Reconciliation of information between systems that aren't integrated

These five processes represent more than 70% of the projects we close. They're not glamorous, they don't make headlines, but they generate real and measurable savings from the first month.

What They DON'T Tell You in AI Talks

Implementing any of these processes doesn't take six months. It takes between four and eight weeks if the scope is well defined. What does take time is the prep phase: cleaning data, mapping the actual process (not the documented one), and defining success metrics before touching code.

The mistake we see in companies that tried to automate before and failed is always the same: they started writing code before understanding the process. Three weeks of discovery save three months of rework.

Which of the Five Applies to Your Company?

Probably more than one. The right question isn't "which one applies," but "which has the best return with the lowest risk to start." That decision is what determines whether your first AI experience is successful or ends up as an archived project.

Before selling automation to others, we automated our own. We went from manually processing invoices for days to having a flow that classifies, extracts data, and registers everything in the ERP without human intervention. We share what worked, what didn't, and what would have saved us months of iteration.
