Process scripting engagement
For finance, operations, or admin teams who perform the same multi-step file routine at least weekly—and need it reliable when key people are on leave.
Ask for a written estimateWho this is for
SMEs and branch offices in Gauteng that already use exports from accounting, POS, or inventory tools but still reconcile by hand. You have a staff member who “just knows” the steps; you want that knowledge captured without hiring a full-time developer.
What you receive
- Approved process map with exception branches called out
- Script or macro set checked against anonymised sample files you provide
- Run log template and plain-language runbook (English)
- Two supervised handover sessions with the person who will own runs
- 30-day defect window for logic tied to the signed map
What we do not include
- ERP replacement, licence procurement, or vendor negotiation
- 24/7 monitoring of servers—scripts are designed to be launched deliberately
- Work on processes that lack a named internal owner
How we work
- Kickoff on your premises or secure video, using a recent real export (redacted if needed).
- Draft map returned within five business days for your mark-up.
- Build sprints with mid-week screen shares so clerks can flag “that column moved.”
- Parallel runs for two cycles before we sign off handover.
Timeline & location
Most engagements run three to six weeks depending on exception count and test data availability. Build can be remote; kickoff and handover are often on-site within greater Johannesburg.
Pricing basis
Fixed fee quoted after an approved map. Complexity drivers include number of source files, validation rules, and whether outputs must land in formats mandated by a parent company abroad.
