Business Process Automation in Tunbridge Wells: Quote, Book, Invoice, Chase
A small workshop or garage runs on a chain of steps. Break the chain in one place and money goes missing. Here is how to see the chain, and which links to automate first.
For business process automation for a small company in Tunbridge Wells, Dean Keating audits the chain from enquiry to payment, then builds and installs AI agents for the links that waste most time. He works in the tools you already use, remotely from Horndean, Hampshire. The first call is free: 07418 627304.
It is a chain, not a gadget
Business process automation sounds large. In a small company it means something plain: the steps that happen every time, done without someone remembering to do them.
Picture a car garage. The directory covers garages and MOT centres as a category. Every job follows the same chain.
1. A customer asks for a price.
2. A quote goes out.
3. Someone chases the quote.
4. The job goes in the diary.
5. A reminder goes to the customer.
6. The work is done and an invoice is raised.
7. A late payment is chased.
8. At the end of the week, someone adds it all up.
Where the chain snaps
Look at your own version and find where it breaks most. In a busy workshop it is rarely step 6. It is steps 3 and 7: the chasing, because it needs someone to remember and nobody has the time. A quote nobody chases is usually lost. An invoice nobody chases arrives late.
Which links he can automate
Dean Keating's website lists the jobs, and most of the chain is on it: replying to new enquiries within minutes, sending quotes and chasing unanswered ones, booking jobs into the diary, sending updates, confirmations and reminders, raising invoices, chasing late payments, copying details between systems, and the weekly report.
He does not need you to change software. The agents are installed in the tools you already use.
Doing it in order
Start with one link. His approach is to begin with the single task that makes the most difference. In the garage, that may be chasing quotes. Once you can see that working, the next link is easier to judge.
He sets out four steps: a free call, an audit of the work worth automating, the build and install, then training and support. The audit is where you find which links are worth it and which are better left with a person.
Keep a person on the exceptions
Rules matter. Say who approves a chase before it goes, and what happens if a customer replies angrily. Agents should hand over to you in those cases.
Cost, and where he is
