Approval-based document processing

Business problem
Invoices, forms or operational documents arrive as email attachments and are manually renamed, saved to a folder, keyed into a system and assigned to someone for approval.
ByteX approach
Extract the agreed fields from each document, apply business rules such as matching to a purchase order or checking a total, file it consistently, and route anything that fails a rule to a person for review.
Expected outcome
Reduced administration on routine documents while keeping oversight of unusual ones

Automated social media posting

Business problem
A retailer or restaurant manually creates and publishes similar promotions across Facebook and Instagram.
ByteX approach
Create a controlled workflow that reads approved promotions, products, offers or menu updates from a managed source, prepares post content in your voice, sends it to a nominated person for approval, and schedules publication through supported platform integrations.

Product and pricing update workflow

Scheduled management reports

Click & Collect workflow

Business problem
Customers can select pickup at checkout, but store allocation and order information are unclear once the order arrives.

Order and fulfilment automation

Business problem
Staff manually transfer orders or tracking information between ecommerce, warehouse and carrier systems.

Reduced data entry on every order despatched

Product catalogue cleanup and import

Business problem
Product names, categories, barcodes, pricing or descriptions are inconsistent.

Automated daily sales summary

Business problem
The owner waits for staff to manually prepare sales reports, or logs into the POS back office and interprets the numbers themselves each morning.

Expected outcome
Faster visibility over trading performance, available before the venue opens

Digital menu and QR experience

Lead-generation website

Business problem
A business has an outdated website that does not explain its services clearly or produce qualified enquiries.

Website to business system integration

Business problem

Inventory exception reporting
