WORKFLOW OPTIMISATION / BERKSHIRE
WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHY BRACKNELL
Channel businesses often lose margin in the gaps between teams. A deal registered by sales may not reach procurement in time, a renewal may be discovered after the customer has already approached a competitor, or a vendor rebate may go unclaimed because nobody collected the evidence. Our review traces the full cycle from opportunity to invoice and rebate, showing where information stalls, who is waiting on whom and which checks can safely be automated.
WORKFLOW OPTIMISATION / BRACKNELL
Head offices have similar problems at larger scale. Approval chains grow over time, with extra sign-offs added after one-off incidents and never removed. Month-end close may involve dozens of spreadsheets passed between finance, subsidiaries and management. We talk to the people doing the work, map the real process and recommend changes that shorten cycles while keeping the controls auditors expect. The result is a prioritised plan, with quick wins separated clearly from larger changes.
IN PRACTICE / BRACKNELL
A Bracknell reseller could redesign how deal registrations, invoices and proof of sale are collected for vendor rebates, so claims are submitted on time and money that is already earned is no longer quietly lost.
A head office might review its purchase approval chain, remove sign-offs that no longer add value, set thresholds by risk and automate routing, cutting the time from request to order without weakening control.
A group with several subsidiaries could standardise the templates, deadlines and checks used at month end, replacing emailed spreadsheets with a single submission workflow and giving finance earlier, cleaner figures.

QUESTION / BRACKNELL
We look at volume, error cost and how rule-based a step is. High-volume, predictable steps with clear rules are good candidates. Steps needing judgement are better supported than automated. Sometimes the best change is removing a step altogether. We rank options by value and effort, so you can start with the changes that pay back soonest.
