What we already run. TBWX has scheduled automations producing reports and routing data between systems overnight, so the morning starts with the numbers already assembled.
Why it transfers. Consulting firms lose margin in the gap between billable work and the admin that surrounds it: status decks, timesheet reconciliation, invoices that go out late because nobody triggered them.
What it could be worth to you. A 30-person firm losing one hour per person per week to manual admin is 30 hours weekly. At a $75 blended internal cost, that is $2,250 a week — around $117,000 a year. Recovering even a third is meaningful, and the recovered hours are the ones nearest to billable.
We would map what actually happens before automating anything. Automating a broken process just makes it fail faster.
