Automation opportunity checklist

Spot the tasks in your business that are worth automating, and the ones that aren't.

The short answer

This is a free checklist from WL Solutions to help you make a clearer decision before you spend time or money, no signup and nothing to buy.

Signs a task is worth a closer look

  • It's performed many times a day or week
  • More than one person does it
  • It follows the same steps almost every time
  • It involves copying, retyping, exporting, or reformatting
  • It stalls when one specific person is out

Before you automate, ask

  • Should this task exist at all?
  • Would fixing the process remove the work entirely?
  • Does existing software already do this if configured?
  • Is the volume high enough to justify building something?
  • What would you measure to know it worked?
