A home furnishing company recorded every order by hand almost three times over
550 to 600 hours a year — calculated
Soft furnishings and window decoration. Two brands, five shop-in-shops, four legal entities. Eleven salespeople, one person doing the planning. Every order was recorded three times: on paper in the shop, in a spreadsheet on the iPad, and again in the order system after measuring up.
Fifteen to forty-five minutes per order. Four hours in a quiet week, twelve in an average one, twenty-six in a busy one.
At an event and project agency a project environment now appears within one minute
From three actions to one minute — measured, live since 11 August 2026
Event and project agency. For every new project the team created a mail folder, a server folder and a project environment by hand. The same action three or four times over, on every single project.
And the quotes: up to twenty per project, retyped line by line. A large project runs to seventy or well over a hundred lines. Of twelve quotes examined, ten were processed fully automatically — on every quote that states a total itself, the sum adds up to the cent.
