AI & Automation
Business Process Automation
Most teams lose hours to the same thing: moving information from one place to another by hand. A form arrives, gets copied into a spreadsheet, then into the CRM, then into a text to whoever is on call. Automation removes the copying, not the judgment.
What is included
What we build workflows around
Lead routing
New inquiries assigned to the right person immediately, with the details they need to respond well.
Customer follow-up
Confirmations, reminders, and check-ins that run on schedule instead of depending on someone remembering.
Scheduling
Bookings, reschedules, and reminders synced to the calendar your team already lives in.
Notifications
The right alert to the right person by text, email, or chat, without a group thread nobody reads.
CRM and data updates
Records created and updated from form submissions, calls, and completed jobs automatically.
Internal handoffs
Job status, approvals, and task creation moving between systems without a manual step wedged in the middle.
Real examples
What this looks like in practice
The form-to-CRM copy
A quote request lands in email, someone retypes it into the CRM, then texts the estimator. Three steps, twice a day, forever.
Follow-up that runs on memory
Leads go cold because the second contact was somebody's mental note between two job sites.
The shared spreadsheet
One sheet, four people updating it, and no reliable version of the truth by Thursday.
The status question
Several calls a week asking where a job stands, because nothing updates on its own.
How Heliast approaches it
Understand the process, then decide what to automate.
Map the process first
We write down how the work happens today, including the workarounds nobody put in the handbook.
Decide what should be automated
Some steps exist for a good reason. Automating a broken process only makes it fail faster and more consistently.
Build it so people can see it
Your team should be able to tell what ran, what did not, and exactly where something stopped.
Next step
Walk us through one week of the process.
The steps your team would call annoying are usually the ones worth automating. We will tell you which are straightforward and which are not worth the trouble.
