Paperwork and document automation
Invoices, quotes, purchase orders, timesheets, delivery dockets and compliance forms arrive in every format there is: PDF, photo, scan, email attachment, or a docket book in the ute. They get read, matched against what they should match, coded to the right account and job, and filed.
Where a document does not match cleanly, it is flagged to a person with the reason attached. It is never guessed at and never quietly filed wrong. The exceptions are the whole reason a person still needs to be in the loop, and designing that hand-off properly is most of the work.

A plumbing business receives supplier invoices by email. Each one is read, matched to the purchase order and the job, coded, and drafted into Xero for approval. Anything without a matching order waits in a short list for the office manager to look at on Friday.
