Process Automation UK: End-to-End Workflows

Process automation for UK organisations. Digitise approvals with Microsoft Power Automate and Power Apps, automate handoffs between teams, and gain full process transparency.

What is business process automation?

Business process automation replaces email chains and manual handoffs with defined digital workflows, so each request has an owner, a status and a record. TechLinkAI builds these with Microsoft Power Automate, Power Apps, SharePoint and Make, connected to the systems you already use.

Who it suits

UK organisations where approvals get lost in email, handoffs between departments are unclear, or audit records take effort to gather.

What is included

Process mapping, workflow and approval design, user interfaces in Power Apps, integrations, user training and SLA monitoring.

Typical timeline

The standard process runs from discovery in week 1 to go-live in weeks 6 to 8. Scope can change this.

Data and security

Process steps are logged automatically for audit, and projects are designed around UK GDPR.

Current State

Key Challenges in Operations and Workflows

Approvals Lost in Email Threads

Approval requests are not trackable across email chains; no clear visibility on who approved and who did not, causing unnecessary delays.

Unclear Cross-Department Handoffs

Work items transferred between departments are delayed, incomplete, or lost due to the absence of a clear handoff mechanism.

No Process Status Visibility

Finding where a request stands requires calls or emails to multiple people; management reports are manually compiled each time.

Compliance Requirements Not Met

Audit records are missing or scattered across archives; regulatory reporting requires major effort.

IT Ticket Dependency

Employees must open IT tickets for routine requests, creating unnecessary workload for both IT and requestors.
