Digital Systems Audit

Streamline Workflows, Cut Costs, and Increase Your Operational Impact.

Is your organisation slowed down by disconnected tools, manual admin, and inefficient workflows? Important tasks fall through the cracks, your team is frustrated, and you are paying for software you barely use.

The Digital Systems Audit is a hands-on evaluation of your operations, designed to replace chaos with clarity. I will analyse your current processes and tech stack to create a clear, actionable roadmap that saves your team time, reduces software costs, and builds a truly scalable foundation for your mission.

What the Audit Covers: A Deep Dive Into Your Operations

This audit provides a comprehensive, 360-degree view of how your work gets done, identifying the specific friction points that cost you time and money.

End-to-End Workflow Mapping

We visually map your most critical processes—from donor management to project delivery—to find the bottlenecks, duplications, and hidden inefficiencies that slow you down.

Digital Tool Stack Analysis

We conduct a full inventory of your current software (project management, CRM, communications) to identify redundant subscriptions, underutilised features, and opportunities for better integration.

Actionable Automation Strategy

We design a practical automation plan using low-code tools. We pinpoint the top 3-5 opportunities to eliminate repetitive, manual tasks and free up your team for mission-critical work.

How It Works: Our Transparent 3-Step Process

This audit follows a structured and collaborative process to ensure the final recommendations are both insightful and practical for your unique context.

Step 1: Discovery & Process Mapping

We begin with a focused discovery session to understand your goals and map out your key workflows and current tech stack. This ensures our analysis is grounded in your reality.

Step 2: Analysis & Opportunity Identification

I conduct the deep-dive analysis, evaluating your systems against best practices to identify specific opportunities for cost savings, efficiency gains, and improved integration.

Step 3: Strategic Roadmap Delivery

You receive a comprehensive, actionable roadmap. We walk through the findings together, ensuring you have a clear plan with prioritised steps to optimise your digital operations immediately.

A Clear Path to Reduced Software Spend

Stop wasting money on redundant tools. You get a concrete plan to consolidate your tech stack, eliminate unused licences, and lower your monthly software subscriptions.

Free your team from the grind of manual data entry. You receive a custom automation plan that reduces the chance of human error, improves data consistency, and gives your team 5-10+ hours back every week.

A Scalable Foundation for Growth

Move beyond ad-hoc systems that break under pressure. You get a blueprint for an integrated digital ecosystem that can support your organisation as it grows, ensuring your operations are an asset, not a liability.

Digital Systems Audit FAQs: Workflow Optimisation, Automation & Growth

  1. How is this different from standard IT consulting?

This audit focuses on workflow efficiency and process alignment, not just hardware or network setups. We analyse how your team actually uses tools to get work done, with the goal of making your operations faster, cheaper, and smarter.

  1. What tangible results should I expect?

Clearer processes, lower software costs, and fewer manual tasks. Saving 5-10 hours of staff time per week is a common outcome. For an employee, that’s the equivalent of adding a new part-time team member, at a fraction of the cost.

  1. Is this suitable for remote teams?

Absolutely. This audit is ideal for remote teams. We focus on strengthening the digital collaboration tools, automated check-ins, and communication flows that are essential for accountability and performance when your team is distributed.
