Two lines of business. Double the administration.
Two businesses, two filing systems, double the work.
Transport plus warehouse. Trades plus flats. Each line has its own invoices, records and deadlines. The same work, twice — plus the work in between.
What is added
Multi-site businesses
For: Businesses with two lines of business under one roof.
Merge first
Automating both lines separately doubles the islands. Standard first, then routine.
Work in between
Assigning, reconciling, keeping things apart — this creates no value and eats the most time.
Sample calculation
Two lines, one standard
disproportionate
freed up per year
two circuits
position not filled
one filing system
Additional output / effect
Calculated, not measured in your business. The assumptions are in the calculation path.
Plus the toolkit
Incoming invoices, receipts, collections, filing — these arise in every business, often with the bigger lever.
