Business process optimization

Better processes.
A better workday.

I optimize business processes so your team spends less time untangling lines and more time reeling in results.

“Make it Faster. Make it Easier. Make it Manual to Modern.”

Less friction. More forward.
“I’m wired to find a better way. Whatever I’m working on, I’m always asking how it could work better—and how I can make life easier for the people involved.”

Results from prior engagements, before founding Manual to Modern.

Typical investment

A clear place to start.

Open a service for scope and deliverables. We agree on the work and price in writing before starting.

Diagnose

Workflow Diagnostic

$1,800fixed

One process. Clear findings. Practical next steps.

See what’s includedClose details

Best when you know something is inefficient, but need to understand why before investing in a fix.

What we work through

I walk through one agreed business process with the people who use it, review sample documents and tools, and trace the delays, duplicate work, and handoffs.

What you take away

A map of the current process, a prioritized list of problems and opportunities, and written recommendations for practical next steps. We review the findings together so you can decide what to tackle first.

For example

Review how a customer request moves from intake to assignment to completion, and identify where information gets lost or work waits for approval.

Scope boundary

The $1,800 fixed fee covers one process with boundaries agreed in writing. This is an assessment; software configuration and implementation are scoped separately.

Design

Modernization Blueprint

$4,500–$7,500typical range

A practical plan for what to change, build, and budget.

See what’s includedClose details

Best when you are ready to improve a process and want a clear plan before committing to a build.

What we work through

I turn the business needs into a proposed process: who does what, which information is needed, how exceptions are handled, and where technology would help.

What you take away

A proposed workflow, documented requirements, tool and integration recommendations, and a phased implementation roadmap with budget estimates and criteria for checking that the solution works.

For example

Design a customer onboarding process that connects intake, document collection, internal assignments, and status updates.

What affects the price

The number of teams, decision paths, systems, and requirements involved. The blueprint is a planning deliverable; building the solution and buying software are separate.

Build

Focused Automation

$7,500–$12,000typical range

One workflow, automated and handed over to your team.

See what’s includedClose details

Best when one specific process is ready to be built and the team can clearly define what success looks like.

What we work through

I configure the agreed workflow, connect the approved tools where feasible, and test routine cases and exceptions with your team before launch.

What you take away

A working automation within the agreed scope, documented test results, operating instructions, and a handoff walkthrough so your team understands how to use and maintain it.

For example

Route a submitted request to the right reviewer, send reminders, record the decision, and update a shared status tracker without repeated manual entry.

What affects the price

Integration complexity, approval rules, data preparation, and exception handling. The written scope defines the workflow, testing, rollout, and any post-launch support; additional workflows and software licenses are separate.

Modernize

Broader Modernization

$15,000+starting point

Connected processes, improved in manageable stages.

See what’s includedClose details

Best when the problem crosses teams or systems and fixing one step alone will not solve it.

What we work through

I assess the connected processes, agree on priorities with your team, and organize the redesign and implementation into manageable phases with review points.

What you take away

A coordinated roadmap, clearly defined responsibilities and requirements, and the process changes, system configurations, documentation, and training agreed for each phase.

For example

Connect customer intake, service delivery, approvals, and billing so teams can follow the work without maintaining separate, conflicting records.

What affects the price

The number of processes and systems, migration needs, integrations, and rollout requirements. $15,000 is a starting point; each phase has an agreed scope, deliverables, and price before work begins.

Ongoing advisory

Starting at $3,000 per month
See what advisory covers

For teams that need continuing guidance as their processes and tools evolve. We review priorities, troubleshoot process problems, assess proposed changes, and plan the next improvements.

You receive actionable recommendations and an updated improvement plan. Meeting frequency, availability, and any hands-on work are defined in the monthly scope. Major builds and unlimited support are not included by default.

These are planning ranges. Final pricing is confirmed in a written scope. Software licenses, approved travel, and third-party expenses are separate when applicable.
