Start with one process

Fix the work that holds the business back.

Prodro follows one process, finds the work nobody would design today and removes it, with process, software and AI designed as one.

Start with one process
One new starter at a 150-person manufacturing firm · offer to first day

Why is this work still happening?

Businesses accumulate processes, administration, systems, handoffs and workarounds over time. Some were necessary once. Some exist because systems don’t communicate. Most have never been questioned.

One discipline. One outcome.

Process, software and AI are designed together, so the answer is whichever the work needs.

Seven steps. Two a person touches. None of it needed software built.The six decisions, explained in the field guide

Start with one process.

Choose one process that feels slower, more expensive or more complicated than it should. In two weeks we show you what is happening, what should change and how to move forward.

Two weeks, one processFixed scope
  1. 1
    Week one

    Understand

    See how the operation actually works, not how the process says it works.

  2. 2
    Week two

    Decide

    Determine what should change and why.

  3. You come away with

    • Current stateSee where work gets stuck.A clear view of the process, its hand-offs and the time it takes.
    • Better stateKnow what should change.A simpler workflow with the unnecessary work removed.
    • Action planLeave with a practical plan.Prioritised changes across process, software and AI, clear ownership and measures of improvement.
  4. 3
    After the two weeks, if you want us to

    Deliver

    Put the agreed changes into practice, with clear ownership.

  5. 4

    Prove

    Measure what improved: time, cost, capacity or quality.

If you want us to deliver the change, we can. If you don’t, the recommendation is still yours to act on.

What we always do. What we never do.

Delivery is not the end of the job. The question that matters is whether anything actually improved.

Six rules. Open any of them.
  • Follows the work before proposing anythingAlways

    You don’t need a transformation programme. Choose one operational process that feels slower, more expensive or more complicated than it should. In two weeks we follow it from beginning to end and show you where the time goes, what is duplicated, which steps and hand-offs are unnecessary and what changing it could be worth.

  • Tells you when a £20 tool is the answerAlways

    We only build software when the right solution doesn’t exist. Build is the last of six decisions, after stop, simplify, buy, automate and connect. If the right answer is a £20 tool you can buy tomorrow, that is the answer you will get.

  • Measures what improved after deliveryAlways

    After two weeks you leave with a clear view of the process as it is, a simpler workflow with the unnecessary work removed, and a practical plan: prioritised changes, clear ownership and measures of improvement. If we deliver the change, we measure against those: time, cost, capacity or quality.

  • Starts with the solutionNever

    When you start with the solution, it is easy to make the problem fit it. We work the other way round: follow the work, understand why it happens, then decide what should change.

  • Leaves you with a deck and no way forwardNever

    The recommendation is yours to act on. If you want us to deliver the change, we can. If you don’t, nothing in it depends on us.

  • Hands the work to people you haven’t metNever

    The people who scope the work are the people who do it.

If something is still unclear, tell us and we will rewrite it.
