DIGITAL OPERATIONS
Process Automation Consulting
Greater Efficiency Through Intelligent Process Automation
Manual tasks, media breaks, and repetitive tasks tie up valuable resources in many companies and slow down business processes. With intelligent process automation, these workflows can be specifically streamlined, automated across systems, and employees can be relieved of repetitive tasks. Our approach goes beyond the mere automation of existing workflows and traditional administrative processes.
Before we automate processes, we scrutinize existing structures, reduce unnecessary complexity, and develop efficient target processes. After all, only a good process can serve as the foundation for effective automation. Thanks to our many years of experience in operations and in the manufacturing sector, we also understand the workflows at the interfaces between procurement, production, logistics, quality, sales, and administration. For us, process automation consulting therefore means taking a holistic view of automation: We identify opportunities where they actually arise, develop appropriate target processes, and implement them within the existing system landscape—with a clear focus on measurable efficiency gains and sustainable business impact.

Automation Potential Assessment
Systematically identify and prioritize opportunities for automation
Much of the potential for automation remains untapped because it is not apparent in existing systems or in traditional optimization initiatives. Particularly in operations-related processes, manual intermediate steps, media breaks, and custom process logic often create significant opportunities for efficiency gains that are not addressed—or are only inadequately addressed—by the systems themselves.
As part of our process automation consulting services, we not only conduct targeted analyses of processes and system landscapes, but also identify suitable automation use cases and evaluate them based on business impact, feasibility, and effort. Thanks to our deep understanding of operations, we also identify opportunities beyond traditional system solutions and translate these into a prioritized automation roadmap featuring concrete quick wins and business cases.
Our Service Packages:
- Analyze Relevant Processes and System Landscapes
- Identify opportunities for automation, particularly in processes closely related to operations
- Uncovering Potential Beyond Existing System Solutions
- Assess Business Impact, Feasibility, and Effort
- Prioritize quick wins and develop an automation roadmap
Benefits for you:
- Transparency Regarding Relevant Automation Opportunities
- Focus on economically attractive use cases
- Identifying previously untapped efficiency potential
- Clarity regarding feasibility and the effort required for implementation
- A Solid Foundation for Prioritization and Implementation
Smart Process Design
Efficient Target Processes as the Foundation of Automation
Simply automating existing workflows does not automatically lead to better processes. Otherwise, unnecessary process steps, complex approvals, or special cases that have developed over time will merely be digitized and permanently entrenched. Effective automation therefore first requires a clear and, as simple as possible, target process.
We scrutinize existing processes, reduce complexity, and develop standardized, automatable target processes. In doing so, we define workflow logic, decision rules, triggers, and escalations, and take existing systems and interfaces into account early on. As a result, our process automation consulting services provide you with a solid technical foundation for the subsequent technical implementation.
Our Service Packages:
- Examine existing processes and simplify them in a targeted manner
- Standardize process steps and develop target processes
- Define workflow logic and decision rules
- Designing Triggers, Escalations, and System Transitions
- Specify the technical requirements for implementation
Benefits for you:
- Reducing Unnecessary Process Complexity
- Standardized and robust target processes
- Clear automation and decision-making logic
- Greater scalability of automation
- A Solid Foundation for Technical Implementation
Automation Tools & Architecture
Appropriate technologies and a robust architecture
Automation solutions only deliver their full value when they align with the existing system landscape, technical requirements, and the specific use case. Especially in system landscapes that have evolved over time, different platforms, custom applications, and manual solutions coexist. Successful automation must therefore integrate seamlessly into the existing IT landscape without creating new siloed solutions or unnecessary technological dependencies.
With our process automation consulting services, you can lay the foundation for a technologically appropriate solution. We evaluate suitable automation technologies, define the appropriate target architecture, and design the necessary integration and interface concepts. In doing so, we take existing systems, data sources, and technical constraints into account, thereby creating a robust, maintainable, and scalable foundation for subsequent implementation.
Our Service Packages:
- Evaluate and Select Appropriate Automation Technologies
- Develop a Target Architecture for Automation Solutions
- Integrate existing systems and data sources
- Define Interface and Integration Concepts
- Define the technical requirements for implementation in more detail
Benefits for you:
- Selecting the Right Technology
- Avoiding Unnecessary Siloed Solutions
- Robust and scalable system architecture
- Clear integration and interface logic
- A Solid Foundation for Technical Implementation
Automation Implementation
Implement automation solutions quickly and reliably
Even well-designed automation solutions only add value when they are seamlessly integrated into existing processes and systems. Challenges often arise—particularly at interfaces, in special cases, or when multiple applications interact—that require a clean technical implementation as well as early validation.
Our process automation consulting combines design and implementation: We implement prioritized automation use cases iteratively, integrate them into existing applications, and also support testing, validation, and commissioning. With a pragmatic and implementation-oriented approach, we quickly deliver the first productive solutions.
Our Service Packages:
- Implementing Prioritized Automation Use Cases from a Technical Perspective
- Integrating automation into existing systems and processes
- Test, validate, and deploy solutions
- Continue to develop and optimize the implementation iteratively
- Measuring Efficiency Gains and Business Impact
Benefits for you:
- Quick Achievements in Early Automation Initiatives
- Seamless integration into existing system environments
- Reduction of Manual Effort and Processing Times
- Transparency Regarding Achieved Efficiency Gains
- Measurable Business Impact
Governance, Scaling, and Monitoring
Embedding and Scaling Automation for the Long Term
Consulting on process automation does not end with the implementation of individual automation projects. As the number of automation projects grows, so do the demands on operation, maintenance, and further development. However, small and medium-sized businesses in particular often lack large IT departments or specialized automation teams. This makes simple standards, clear responsibilities, and solutions that can be operated long-term with manageable organizational effort all the more important.
We develop lean governance structures, practical standards, and clear lines of responsibility between business units and IT. In addition, we establish simple monitoring and maintenance concepts and empower internal employees to further develop automation solutions on their own. The result is a scalable approach that does not require the creation of complex additional organizational structures.
Our Service Packages:
- Define streamlined governance structures and responsibilities
- Clearly Define Roles Between the Department and IT
- Establish practical standards for further automation
- Develop monitoring and maintenance plans
- Empowering Internal Employees in a Targeted Manner
Benefits for you:
- Minimal additional organizational effort
- Clear division of responsibilities between business units and IT
- Sustainable Operation of Automation Solutions
- Scalability without complex organizational structures
- Greater autonomy for the organization
