✅ AUTOMATE — TOP PRIORITY

This process has the ideal profile for automation: high volume (80 cases/month), multiple people involved, clear assignment and follow-up rules, and no traceable records currently in place. The 798% ROI in year one and a 1.3-month payback make it the best candidate. Automation directly impacts client satisfaction and operational capacity.

Signs of inefficiency detected

• Technicians call the coordinator to find out their daily schedule
• Orders lost in emails or WhatsApp
• No real-time visibility into how many orders are open
• Billing is delayed because order closure is manual
• If the coordinator is absent, no one assigns correctly
• Materials used are not recorded consistently
