Typing a file into software
Your data sits in a spreadsheet and someone re-types it into your management system. The tool finds the right row and fills it in instead.
Business automation
Stop re-typing what you already have.
Copying one file into another, typing the same details into two systems, producing the same documents every week: these are jobs a small tool can do for you, often within days.
In practice
What I automate.
No abstractions: here are the specific tasks I most often remove for clients.
Producing documents
Quotes, reports, certificates, job sheets: generated automatically from your data, in your layout.
Sending email automatically
The document reaches the right recipient with the right attachment, without anyone writing the message.
Connecting your tools
Your online shop, your invoicing software, your files: I make them talk so information is never entered twice.
Imports and exports
Fetching a client file, reshaping it, loading it into your tool: what takes a morning can run on its own.
Reminders and alerts
A file that has stalled, a deadline approaching, stock running low: you hear about it before it becomes a problem.
Tracking and dashboards
Your figures calculated automatically and kept current, instead of a table consolidated by hand at month end.
Small internal tools
A form for your team, a tracking screen, a simplified entry point: sometimes a two-screen tool solves the whole problem.
Sound familiar?
Signs there is something worth automating.
If even one of these describes your business, there is probably time to win back.
- 01
You or someone on your team regularly copies data from one place to another.
- 02
The same information lives in two or three different tools, and someone has to remember to update all of them.
- 03
You produce exactly the same documents every week or every month.
- 04
A copying mistake has already had real consequences: wrong invoice, wrong client, wrong amount.
- 05
An important task depends on one person, and everything stops when they are away.
- 06
You know how long it takes, and thinking about it annoys you.
How it works
From your problem to a running tool.
- 01
You show me
You describe or show me the task as you do it today. This is usually the shortest step.
- 02
I tell you straight
If it can be automated, you get a timeline and a price. If it is not worth it, I say that too.
- 03
I build it
For a small automation, expect days rather than weeks.
- 04
You test, then it runs
We check it together on your real data, then the tool just works.

The whole report → client dispatch → archiving chain, previously manual, now triggered by a single action.

Common questions
What people ask before starting.
What does an automation cost?
A targeted automation — removing a repetitive data-entry job, connecting two tools — starts around €800. It rises with the number of tools involved and the volume of edge cases. That is easy to weigh against the time the task eats every month: an hour a week is roughly fifty hours a year. You get a firm figure after our first conversation.
How long before it works?
A small automation is often delivered within days. Broader projects touching several tools or several teams take a few weeks.
Do I have to change software?
No, and it is rarely a good idea. I would rather plug a tool into what you already use. Your team keeps its habits and the project stays much shorter.
Does this work with Google Sheets or Excel?
Yes — that is the most common starting point. A well-kept spreadsheet usually already holds all the information needed: the work is connecting it to the rest of your tools rather than re-typing it.
What if my software has no way to import data?
That is a common case, and there is nearly always a way. On a recent project the software offered no import at all: a browser extension filled the form on the user’s behalf, which removed around four hours of typing.
Can automation get things wrong?
That is the right question to ask. On sensitive tasks I build tools so a person keeps the final say: the tool prepares, a human reviews and confirms. We remove the typing, not the control.
Do I need to be in Réunion to work with you?
No. I am available for work in Réunion, on site or remotely, and can visit to see how you work — which helps a lot on this kind of project. But most of the work runs perfectly well remotely, including with companies in mainland France.
Tell me what you are still doing by hand.
You do not need to know whether it can be automated — that is my job. Just describe the task; I reply personally within 24 hours.
