Project Overview:

The purpose of this project is to automate manual tasks. Manual tasks can be time-consuming, challenging to track and report, more error-prone, consumes human resources, impacting on their productivity, and lack scalability. This project will have an significant impact for clients and internal employees reducing time, resources, among other benefits we will be seeing.

User Story - Joyce says
user-female
“As an accountant, I want to set up a system that takes care of the paperwork automatically. This way, we won't have to send a bunch of emails and fill out forms manually. It'll help us keep track of everything without drowning in a sea of emails and requests."



Scope of Work:

Key Deliverables:
User friendly Forms to register enquiries from clients
Data persistence in a database
Automation to create contacts in Xero
Dynamic tables to visualize client process state from request
Table views to share with other areas and update process state
Automatization with xero to generate invoices when the state is updated in a specified parameter.

Challenges and Solutions:

Identifying and pinpointing the problems, I was able to develop a workflow, narrowing down steps. I searched for tools available in the market, made a comparison, and tested some workflows with different tools that integrate with those used in the company until I found the most optimal flow with tools that allow scalability, solving the encountered problems and meeting their needs, such as the integration of data persistence in the database.

Problems/Pains
Forms are filled manually via email
User access activation is informed by email and sometimes we generate the invoice late for miscommunication.
Manual process to:
Create contacts in Xero
Process updates by emails
Generation of invoices
⁠

Results and Achievements:

There is form available for your clients sign up to their monthly subscription at Point Parking, this form has logic added, automatization, is easy to use,persists data, easy to share and implement on your website. This will reduce time with manual process, conversations back and forward, work overload and miscommunications.
There is a database integrated to keep track of you client records and request process, we can create custom views and share them with internal collaborators. So you will have one source of true and enhanced collaboration.
This project includes task automation with software like Xero, Pinch Payments, Typeform, Zapier, and a database. It reduces manual efforts, saves time on repetitive tasks, minimizes errors, ensures accuracy and consistency, enables seamless communication, and offers scalability and innovation opportunities.
