AI Automation
Do not automate a detour. Shorten it.
Articles on routines in procurement, accounting, finance, sales, and the supply chain.
Automation is the most visible form of relief and the most treacherous. An automated detour is still a detour. It merely runs faster, and it is harder to change afterward because an interface now depends on it. The articles here work through concrete routines: e-invoicing and bookkeeping, sourcing and supplier scoring, inventory, and sales.
So the same question comes first every time: why does this step exist? If it can go, the automation is saved. If it stays, it deserves to be described and owned before anything automates it. Transformation is meant to remove complexity. A program that leaves behind more moving parts than it found has missed its purpose.
