Everyday admin jobs that slow you down
Most admin problems fall into a few simple categories. If your task fits one of these, I can usually automate it with a small desktop tool.
1. Fixing and cleaning spreadsheets
- Remove errors, duplicates and bad formatting
- Rearrange columns for importing into another system
- Create clean, ready-to-use files from messy data
2. Turning data into documents
- Invoices and job cards
- PDF reports and summaries
- Customer or project sheets
- Staff timesheets
3. Converting files for your systems
- SAP-ready CSV files
- Supplier catalogues and stock lists
- Exports from accounts or finance systems
- Files from POS and order platforms
4. Joining multiple files together
- Weekly order reports from different platforms
- Delivery sheets and returns
- Sales summaries and end-of-day cashups
- Timesheets from different staff or sites
5. Replacing repetitive typing
- Copy-and-paste jobs you repeat over and over
- Typing the same details into several places
- Any admin task that could be done in one click instead
