AI automation for companies in Madrid

We work from Barcelona with companies across Spain, and a significant share of our clients are in Madrid. This article is about what we have seen there: what companies in Madrid automate, what works remotely and what does not, and how to decide whether someone travelling is worth it.

What is distinctive about the business landscape in Madrid

Madrid concentrates headquarters, professional services and companies with slightly larger structures than the Spanish average. That changes two things compared with what we see elsewhere.

The first is that there are more departments and therefore more handovers. Work does not get stuck inside a task, it gets stuck between one task and the next: in the email notifying the other person, in the intermediate spreadsheet, in the approval that waits three days.

The second is that there tends to be more software in place. A CRM, an ERP, a ticketing tool, another for invoicing. The problem is not missing tools: it is that someone has to copy data from one to another.

What gets automated most in Madrid

Handovers between departments

When sales closes, someone has to notify operations. When operations delivers, someone has to notify admin. Those notifications are done by hand, get forgotten and cause most of the delays the client does notice.

Automating them is among the most profitable moves because it changes nobody's way of working: it just removes the gap between two people.

Reporting to management

The more structure, the more reports. And the more hours of expensive people building presentations from data already sitting in some system.

Before automating a report, it is worth asking who reads it and what they decide with it. Sometimes the right answer is not to automate it: it is to stop producing it.

Customer service at volume

With more volume, the share of repeat enquiries grows. That is where a well-built assistant frees the most hours, provided it knows to pass on to a person whatever is beyond it.

Do we need to be there?

I will be direct, because it is the real question behind this article.

The build, the testing and the rollout are done remotely with no loss of quality. That is 80% of the work and it makes no difference whether we are ten minutes or six hundred kilometres away.

What does gain from a face-to-face session is the diagnosis. On a video call people describe the process as they believe it works. Sitting at the same table you see what goes unsaid: the sticky note on the monitor with the step always forgotten, the parallel spreadsheet someone keeps on their own, the shared folder where whatever does not fit the official system ends up.

Those exceptions decide whether an automation holds or breaks on the first odd day.

Our policy: the diagnosis is done by video call by default, and if the project justifies it or the client prefers, we travel to Madrid at no extra cost. The rest of the project is remote in any case.

How it works

The same as with any client: a free 45-minute diagnosis, design and testing in a separate environment, rollout and follow-up. A specific automation is usually running within seven days.

Where to start

With one contained process that crosses two departments. That is where the most hours are lost and where the result shows soonest, because more people see it.

To put figures on it, the savings calculator estimates it in thirty seconds. And if you want us to look at your case, the diagnosis is free, wherever you are.
