A hands-on process audit for small and mid-sized businesses — restaurants, hotels, retail chains, light manufacturers, trades, and clinics — that finds where automation pays for itself fastest, then builds the dashboard, alert, or workflow tool that fixes it.
If you're searching for an AI audit for small business or a business process automation assessment, chances are you already know something in your operation is costing you more time and money than it should. Missed reorder points. Manual reports built by hand every week. A whiteboard schedule that only one person understands. Order errors that keep happening the same way.
The AI Ops Audit from Savon Nexo is a practical, on-site alternative to generic "AI readiness" consulting. We don't hand you a 40-page maturity scorecard. We walk your floor, shadow your team, time the actual work, and come back with a short list of automation opportunities — ranked by impact and effort — with a fixed price for each one. If you'd rather browse the broader toolkit first, see our AI Solutions page.
Three phases. No open-ended hourly billing.
We visit your location(s), shadow your team, and map every recurring process — ordering, inventory, scheduling, reporting, quality checks. 1–2 days on-site.
You get a findings report and a prioritized list of automation opportunities, scored by impact and effort, with a fixed quote for each.
We build the tool — a live dashboard, an email/alert automation, or a workflow app — and support it for 30 days after launch.
The AI Ops Audit works best for businesses with 2+ locations, or a single location with 15+ staff and real transaction volume — enough operational complexity that small time-savings compound into real dollars.
Kitchen ticket routing, inventory reorder alerts, labor scheduling automation.
Housekeeping task routing, guest request automation, occupancy-based staffing.
Competitive price monitoring, inventory reconciliation, POS dashboard rollups.
Production tracking dashboards, PO approval automation, maintenance-log digitization — software side only, no PLCs or sensors.
Job ticket to invoice automation, permit/license expiration alerts, technician time tracking.
Appointment reminder automation, intake tracking dashboards, renewal/deadline alerts.
No open-ended hourly billing. Every phase is scoped and priced up front, before any work starts — request a quote and we'll get back to you with fixed numbers.
