Business Automation

If someone in your office spends Monday morning copying figures between a portal, a spreadsheet and an email, that is the work this service removes. A good candidate is easy to recognise: the same steps every time, predictable inputs, and a person doing it only because nobody has written it as code. Reconciliation, report assembly, portal downloads and invoice entry are the ones that come up most.

What's included

• Excel and Google Sheets work with openpyxl and pandas: merging files that never quite match, formula-safe updates, pivot-ready output.
• PDF and invoice extraction into a clean table, scans included through OCR, producing a flagged review list instead of a silent guess.
• Browser automation with Selenium or Playwright for portals that offer no API: log in, apply filters, download, file the result.
• Multi-step workflows chained through APIs, n8n or Power Automate, ending as a database row, an email or a WhatsApp message.
• Scheduling through Task Scheduler on an office PC or cron on a server, with a log file and an alert when a run fails.
• A short written runbook so whoever is at the desk next month knows what the job does and what to check.

The failure path matters as much as the happy path. Every run is logged, source files are left untouched, and a person is told when the script cannot continue.

How we work

It starts with a short call and, better still, a screen recording of you doing the task once, which settles more than an hour of discussion. From that comes a scope: trigger, steps, output format, error handling, a fixed price and a delivery date. Then a first version, run against your real files inside a copy of your folder. Adjustments during that trial week are part of the price, because the first live run always turns up an exception nobody mentioned. Sign-off comes after two clean runs. Handover is the schedule or one-click runner, the Python source, a one-page guide and a demo, then 15 to 30 days of fixes.

Typical projects

• GST reporting for a CA firm. Client-wise sales registers pulled from mixed Excel formats into a GSTR-1 shaped upload file, with mismatch flags. Two to three weeks.
• Portal downloads. Nightly login to a vendor portal, filtered export, filed into a dated folder with an email summary. Three days.
• Invoice entry. Supplier PDFs read into a table, matched against purchase orders, exceptions listed for review. Two weeks.
• Daily MIS email. Figures pulled from MySQL and sent as a formatted table every morning at seven. Two to four days.

What it costs

A single task is ₹4,999 and lands in two to four days: one process, a one-click run, 15 days of support. A workflow at ₹14,999 over one to two weeks covers several steps across web, Excel and email, with scheduling, logging and failure alerts. Full process work starts at ₹39,999 across three to five weeks, for processes touching a CRM, an ERP or Tally, with audit logs and a maintenance plan. Price rises with the number of systems involved, whether any of them need browser automation instead of an API, and how inconsistent the input files are. Prices exclude 18% GST, and scoping is free. If the task is genuinely a one-off, try the free browser tools first.

Frequently asked questions

Who owns the automation, and can you see our data? You own the script and its documentation once paid, and it runs on your machine or server rather than ours. During the build we work from sample or anonymised files, and credentials stay with you.

How long does a typical automation take? Two to four days for a single task, one to two weeks for a workflow spanning systems. The long pole is rarely the code; it is portal access or the awkward input files.

What if the portal or the file format changes? Portals do change, and the script is written to fail loudly instead of writing wrong data. Repairs inside the support window are free, and after it a fix is a small quoted change.
