Automation projects vary depending on the complexity of the workflow and the number of systems involved. Most automation projects fall within the $1,200–$3,000 range, with final pricing determined after reviewing the workflow and requirements.

Automation can be applied to many operational workflows, including: • document generation and routing • data syncing between tools • automated reporting • task creation and workflow triggers • form submissions that trigger operational processes The goal is to remove repetitive work and create reliable, repeatable processes.

Automation can be built using a variety of operational tools depending on your current systems. I frequently work with tools such as: • Smartsheet for operational workflows and automation • Google Workspace (Sheets, Forms, Drive, Docs) • Google Apps Script for custom workflow automation • Excel and advanced spreadsheet systems • CRM automation, including tools like HubSpot • Workflow automation platforms such as Zapier or Make If your team already has systems in place, the goal is usually to improve and connect what you already use rather than replacing your existing tools.

Most automation projects begin with a quick workflow review to understand how the current process works and where improvements can be made. When possible, I like to speak directly with the individuals who use the system day-to-day to understand their pain points, workarounds, and where the process slows them down. This helps ensure the automation is designed to support the team’s real operational needs rather than just changing the system on paper.

Most automation builds are completed within 2–3 weeks depending on system complexity and testing requirements.
