Readiness audit
Each process scored on stability, rules, volume, exceptions, and ownership, so you only automate what's ready.
The Problem
Manual Hand-Offs Break When Volume Grows
Your manual processes hold up until volume grows or someone takes a week off. Then approvals stall, data gets retyped wrong, and nobody can tell you where a request is.
01 · Stuck approvals
A purchase order waits days in a traveling approver's inbox.
Approval steps route to the right person, and every run is logged and alerted.
02 · Retyping
Your finance team retypes invoice totals into the accounting system.
We automate ready processes with Zapier, n8n, Make, Power Automate, or custom code.
03 · Forgotten steps
Client onboarding depends on one person remembering an email.
Each process gets mapped and documented, so steps don't depend on one person's memory.
04 · Volume
Errors pile up when volume grows or someone takes a vacation.
Readiness checks come first, so only stable processes get automated.
A purchase order sits in your approver's inbox for days because they're traveling. Meanwhile, your finance team retypes invoice totals into the accounting system. A new client waits for an onboarding email that depends on one person remembering to send it. Every step works when everyone is at their desk. Add volume, a vacation, or a new hire, and the errors land exactly where your customers and suppliers notice them.
We start by scoring each process on 5 checks: how stable it is, whether it follows clear rules, its volume, its exceptions, and who owns it. The ones that pass get a savings estimate you can compare with hiring. Then we automate them with Zapier, n8n, Make, Power Automate, or custom code. Approvals stay with people, and every run leaves a log. You automate what's ready, not what's broken.
Readiness checked first
Each process is scored for stability, rules, volume, exceptions, and ownership before we build.
Savings worked out upfront
You see hours saved against the cost of hiring before any automation is built.
People keep the approvals
Approval steps route to the right person, and every run is logged and alerted.
Our Business Process Automation Process
From Process Review to Documented Automation in Five Steps
You see the readiness scores, the savings estimate, and the process map before we build. Each step ends with something you review and approve.
We walk through your processes with the people who run them and flag the ones worth automating. You get a shortlist with a rough savings estimate and a fixed quote. If a simple fix to the process covers it, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get With a Business Automation Consultant
Every project covers the readiness audit, savings model, process map, build, testing, and a runbook. Larger plans add more processes, role-based approvals, and AI steps.

DeveloperLook vs DIY Automation vs an Enterprise RPA Vendor
DIY tools are cheap and quick for simple tasks, and enterprise RPA vendors suit very large programs. A process automation consultant fits in between: several processes, real approvals, and fixed prices.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites, platforms, and integrations for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Why Operations Teams Trust Us With Process Automation
Automation changes how your team works every day, so we treat each process like a small project. These are the habits behind every build, from the readiness check to the runbook.
Readiness scored before we build
We score each process on stability, rules, volume, exceptions, and ownership. If a process fails the check, we help you fix it before you spend money on automation.
Savings measured against hiring
We compare hours saved with the full cost of an ops hire, including salary, benefits, and tool fees. You decide with real numbers, not a sales pitch.
Every run leaves a log
Each automation writes a log entry for every run, with the record it touched and the result. When a supplier asks about their invoice, you can answer in seconds.
A runbook your team can use
At handover you get plain-language docs on how each automation works, what happens on failure, and how to make basic changes. Your team isn't stuck waiting on us.
Honest about what to skip
Some processes change too often or need too much judgment to automate well. We'll say so, even when it makes your project smaller.
Fixed scope, fixed price
You approve a fixed proposal before we build, covering every process, approval, and test in scope. Tool subscriptions are billed by each vendor, with no markup from us.

Good fit
Operations teams buried in manual admin
Your staff copy data between tools, chase approvals by email, and rebuild the same weekly report, and nobody has time to fix the process.
Owners deciding between automating and hiring
You're weighing an ops hire against automation, and you want the savings worked out in real numbers before you commit to either.
Finance teams handling invoices and POs
Your invoices, purchase orders, and order records touch the same data, and you want them automated as one connected system, not 3 separate projects.
Teams that tried automation without a plan
A past automation broke or got abandoned because the process behind it kept changing, and you want a business automation consultant to check readiness first.
Agencies with client automation projects
Your client needs processes mapped and automated, and you want a partner who delivers under your brand with documentation your team can support.
Not a fit
Workflow already decided
You already know the exact workflow and tool you want, like routing orders to a 3PL. Our Workflow Automation Services page is the faster route.
AI for every team
You want one partner running AI across support, finance, and reporting. Our AI Automation Agency page covers that broader program.
Process changes weekly
Your process changes every week. Automation pays off when the steps are stable, so we'll help you settle the process before building anything.
Rarely run process
Your team runs the process only a few times a month. At that volume, the hours saved won't cover a $1,100 build, so a written checklist is the better fit.
Not sure we're the right fit?
Send a two-line brief. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right team.

Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
Start with your processes that are stable, follow clear rules, run often, have few exceptions, and have a clear owner. Invoice approval, purchase orders, lead routing, onboarding emails, and weekly reports usually pass. Processes that change monthly or depend on judgment usually don't. In the free review, you get your list scored on those 5 checks, so your first automation pays back fastest.
Hire a business process automation consultant when several tools, approvals, or teams are involved. A single trigger and action only needs the tool. A consultant maps your process, checks readiness, and designs failure paths before you pay for a build. For a simple 2-app connection, a Zapier or Make template is enough, and we'll tell you so on the first call.
Process automation with DeveloperLook starts at $1,100 for one process with a readiness check, savings estimate, and approval step. A suite of up to 4 connected processes is $3,400, and a company-wide program with up to 8 processes is $7,400. Tool subscriptions are billed by each vendor. You get a fixed quote after the free process review.
Multiply the hours a process takes each week by your fully loaded hourly cost, then add the cost of errors and delays. Compare that with an ops hire's salary, benefits, taxes, and management time, and with the automation's build and tool fees. Automation tends to win on repetitive, rules-based work, while a hire wins where judgment matters. We build this model with you before you commit.
A single process takes 2 to 3 weeks from review to launch. A suite of up to 4 connected processes takes 5 to 8 weeks, and a company-wide program takes 8 to 12 weeks. The biggest factors are how clean your data is, how many tools connect, and how fast your approvers sign off on the process map.
Yes, and we recommend it when they share the same order and supplier data. With one connected design, a purchase order, its supplier invoice, and the matching order record update together. You avoid 3 automations fighting over the same fields. Your shared data gets planned first, and each process is built on top of it. If you only need invoice capture, our Invoice Automation Software page is a narrower fit.
Yes, we work with local teams remotely, with calls and process workshops in your business hours. DeveloperLook is a US company that works with teams across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and Europe, including businesses in New York. Workshops run over video with screen sharing, so your team maps processes from their own desks and nobody travels.
We use Zapier, n8n, Make, Power Automate, Pipedream, or custom code, and pick the right one for each of your processes after the readiness audit. Zapier suits simple flows, Make and n8n suit multi-step logic, Power Automate fits Microsoft 365 teams, and custom code covers systems without connectors. You're not locked into one platform, and a single project can mix them.
Yes, if your systems have an API, a webhook, or a supported connector, which covers most CRMs, accounting apps, help desks, and spreadsheets. For older systems, we can work with scheduled file exports or email parsing. Every connection gets checked in the readiness audit, before you get a quote, so you won't hit surprises mid-build.
Every automation ships with a runbook that explains what it does, what happens when a step fails, and how to make basic changes. We walk your team through it on a call, hand over every login, and remove our access if you ask. Each plan includes 30 to 90 days of support, and an optional monitoring plan is available after that.
