WORKFLOW OPTIMISATION / NORTHAMPTONSHIRE
WHAT IS INCLUDED
WHY NORTHAMPTON
Some of the most interesting workflows in Northampton belong to its shoemakers. A single pair of made-to-order shoes might pass through clicking, closing, lasting, welting and finishing, with custom options at each stage and repairs arriving in the same workshop. Tracking that on paper tickets works until volumes grow or a key person retires. We map how orders and repairs actually move through the rooms, then recommend whether better paperwork, a simple tracking tool or something bespoke is the right answer.
WORKFLOW OPTIMISATION / NORTHAMPTON
Back offices have their own tangles. A process started with one team, then another team added a check, then a new system arrived and nobody removed the old step. We sit with the people doing the work, time the handoffs and identify where cases wait longest. Recommendations come with a rough cost and effort, so you can pick quick wins first. Being twenty minutes away means we can run these sessions in person rather than over a screen.
IN PRACTICE / NORTHAMPTON
A Northampton footwear workshop could replace paper job tickets with a simple barcode system showing where each pair and each repair sits in the process, and flag orders at risk of missing their promised date.
An accountancy or law practice might reduce onboarding from several days to one by combining identity checks, engagement letters and data collection into a single guided online process.
An insurance administration team could map its claims handling across three departments, removing duplicate checks and redesigning handoffs so cases stop waiting in shared inboxes between stages.

QUESTION / NORTHAMPTON
Yes. A workflow review is a standalone piece of work with a written outcome. Some recommendations will be software, some will be process changes and some will be to configure tools you already have better. If we think building something bespoke is the wrong answer, the report will say so plainly.
