Rapid Assessment
FireStart's Process Automation Audit – your automation potential analysis for your company, across every department and location.
An objective basis for decisions for management, finance and department leads: which processes cost time and money today, which are worth tackling first – and where a platform truly adds value.
A process automation audit is a structured analysis of your process landscape. It objectively reveals which processes, tools and system breaks cost time and money today, which two or three are worth automating first and where a platform adds value – from around one person-day of effort and within 2–3 weeks, scalable from a single department to the entire company.
You receive a prioritised shortlist of 5–8 processes, an effort and savings estimate, an implementation roadmap and a decision-ready management presentation.

The process in 5 steps
Together we define the goal, focus and the relevant departments & locations – e.g. finance, accounting, HR, IT or procurement.
A short joint session: why we're running the audit, what we'll ask, what effort is involved and what result is planned.
We run structured workshops to understand the process reality – manual steps, pain points, system breaks and volumes.
Building on the workshops, we dig deeper and make the findings comparable and economically assessable.
We present what the processes cost and what potential exists – and hand over a concrete action plan with prioritised next steps.
What the result looks like
An anonymised example of what the core of your final report can look like – each process with estimated effort, savings potential and a clear classification. The shortlist is only one building block: it also includes an effort and savings estimate, an implementation roadmap and a management presentation.
* Estimated reduction in manual effort. Illustrative example – real figures come from the workshops and questionnaire of your audit.
From audit to implementation
The audit ends with a clear basis for decisions – and we're happy to support the implementation directly. This is how much potential typically sits in the first processes on your shortlist.
From the shortlist you pick the 2–3 processes with the biggest lever.
We implement the prioritised processes with you – typically around 3 processes in 3 months on the FireStart platform. The action plan provides the blueprint, whether with us or in-house.
Manual effort drops for good – then the next wave follows. More in our use cases.
On request, we implement these 3 processes with you in around 3 months – and these are just 3 of the 5–8 processes on your shortlist.
