Process Automation

Boring work, handled automatically.

Cut the admin, stop the copy-paste, let your team focus on growth. One process, tightly scoped, live in two weeks, using the Microsoft tools you already pay for.

/ Make work flow, not stall

The small tasks that quietly eat the week.

Retyping data, chasing approvals, matching invoices, updating prices, building the same report again. We automate the handoffs between the tools you already use.

Every team has those small, annoying tasks that eat up time. We help you automate them so things move faster, data stays up to date, and your team can spend their day on what actually matters.

/ What we automate

Repetitive tasks become simple flows.

We work with Power Automate, Power BI, Fabric, Teams, SharePoint and Copilot. And we coach your team so they can use and extend what we build on their own.

i.

Reports & board decks

Reports and board packs update on their own. No more copy-paste Mondays or midnight slide builds.

ii.

Approvals in Teams

POs, invoices, timesheets, expenses. Approve or reject from an adaptive card, audit trail written back automatically.

iii.

Data between systems

Excel, SharePoint, CRM, ERP. The data moves, every change is tracked, and the right person gets a heads-up when something needs attention.

/ How it works

Three words: smart, solve, sprint.

No long projects, no endless meetings. Just a working automation, two weeks after kick-off, with coaching so your team can keep going.

i.

Smart

We pick one process with the biggest payoff. Tight scope, clear owner, measurable result.

ii.

Solve

We design, build and test on your real data. Your team sits next to us, so every design decision gets explained along the way.

iii.

Sprint

Two weeks. You get a working automation, documentation, and a short coaching rhythm so your people own it after.

/ Why Data Panda

Why clients choose us.

We focus on results your team will actually use. Training and helping people pick it up are part of the project, not an upsell.

  • We focus on results your team will actually use.

/ Not sure which process first?

Let the data pick.

Most teams already know which process hurts. Some don't, or they disagree. If that's you, our process mining service connects your event logs, maps every variant and ranks the biggest leaks by time and cost. Then we know exactly what to automate first, and we usually build the fix in the sprint right after.

One process, two weeks, visible results.

Pick a process. We'll tell you if it's a good fit for a two-week sprint, what it'll take, and what you'd get at the end. Thirty minutes, free.
