On-site audits

Automation readiness, reviewed on site

Somewhere Automation Advisory helps local businesses find out whether their offline processes are ready for automation. We visit your premises, watch the work happen, and report on what can be automated, what should stay manual, and what to fix first.

Scope

What we do not do

  • We do not install or configure automation software; we assess readiness and leave implementation to your team or a chosen vendor.
  • We do not give off-the-peg advice over the phone; an automation readiness review requires watching the work happen on site.
  • We do not audit financial accounts or provide legal compliance opinions, as those need certified professionals.
  • We do not guarantee cost savings in our reports, because the value of automation depends on factors we cannot control.

On site

Watching the work, not just reading about it

Our reviews begin on the shop floor or the back office, where paper forms pile up and the same data gets typed twice. We time the repetitive tasks, note the exceptions, and see which steps exist only because a system is missing. The result is a practical, prioritised list of automation

Process

How our reviews work

01

Get in touch

Tell us about your business and the processes you suspect are ripe for automation, and we will agree a date for the site visit.

02

Observe and map

We spend time on site, following the work from start to finish, timing tasks and noting where the bottlenecks and errors creep in.

03

Readiness report

You receive a written report that separates what can be automated now, what needs a process change first, and what should stay manual.

04

Recommendations call

We talk through the findings with you, answer questions, and suggest next steps — whether that is a pilot project or a second opinion.

Audit and inspection services

Automation readiness review

A structured on-site assessment that grades your current processes against a practical scale and flags the easiest wins first.

Process observation

We watch how work actually gets done — including the workarounds people use — so the findings reflect reality, not the manual.

Bottleneck analysis

We pinpoint the steps where work stalls or gets rekeyed, and estimate the time that a well-chosen automation could recover.

Data flow mapping

A clear diagram of how information moves between people and tools, exposing the manual handoffs and duplicate entries.

Technology stack review

A straight assessment of your current software, noting what is underused, what is missing, and which upgrades the process actually needs.

Priority action plan

A short, sequenced list of what to tackle in the next quarter, with rough effort grades and the dependencies called out.

What we offer

What you get from Somewhere Automation Advisory

On-site visits

Every review is done at your premises, where the real work happens, not over a video call or a screen-share.

Independent perspective

We are not tied to any software vendor, so the advice is about what fits your process, not what sells a licence.

Plain-English reports

Findings are written for the people who run the business, free of jargon, with clear explanations of what each change involves.

Practical priorities

The report says what to do first, what can wait, and what is not worth the effort, so you are not left with a vague wishlist.

No implementation

We stop at recommendations; if you need hands-on help, we will introduce you to specialists, but we will not blur the line.

Fixed-fee audits

The price for the review is agreed up front, before we visit, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
