Process-led digital transformation

Turn messy manual workflows into straight-through, reliable operations.

We work with operations leaders to redesign processes first, then automate. The result: real changes in cycle time, error rate, capacity, and stability— not innovation theater.

What we do

Process-led transformation across strategy, design, and automation.

We help you design processes that work in the real world, then make them run straight-through with the right mix of technology.

STP Automation

Straight-through processing, end-to-end

Identify high-value workflows and convert them from manual, fragmented work into predictable, automated flows.

  • Intake, triage, and routing design
  • Rules, checks, and decisioning that actually reflect reality
  • Exception handling and control plans baked in

Digital Transformation

Roadmaps that connect processes, systems, and data

Get out of project-by-project chaos. Build a practical roadmap that sequences your transformation around value, risk, and readiness.

  • Current-state assessment grounded in metrics
  • Prioritized transformation roadmap, not a slide deck of trends
  • Governance and delivery patterns that keep work moving

Operational Excellence

Stabilize performance before you automate

Lean Six Sigma with an operator’s mindset. Fix chronic issues, cut rework, and make performance predictable enough to automate.

  • Process diagnostics and improvement sprints
  • Control plans, dashboards, and ownership clarity
  • “Ready for automation” conditions defined and met

Who we’re a good fit for.

DeLashmit Consulting works best with leaders responsible for repeatable, high-volume workflows where small improvements add up quickly.

What “before and after” looks like.

Before
  • Hand-offs across email, spreadsheets, and legacy tools.
  • Frequent rework and “who owns this?” confusion.
  • Cycle times that move with staff turnover and fire drills.
  • Limited visibility into where work is stuck.
After
  • Defined intake, routing, and decision rules.
  • Clean data hand-offs between systems—no re-keying.
  • Predictable cycle time and capacity you can plan around.
  • Exceptions handled deliberately, not in someone’s inbox.
Proof in real operations

Examples of measurable impact.

Every engagement is different, but the pattern is the same: clarify the process, stabilize performance, then automate what’s ready.

Shared service intake & routing

From “mystery inbox” to clear queue

  • 40% reduction in average cycle time
  • 60% fewer “where is my request?” escalations
  • Exceptions surfaced and tracked instead of hidden

Standardized intake, clarified routing rules, and implemented STP where logic was clear—without disrupting high-touch, judgment-based work.

Multi-step approvals

Shortening the slowest steps

  • 30–50% faster approval turn-around
  • Hand-offs reduced from 7+ to 3
  • Clear SLAs by step, not just by end-to-end process

Mapped and simplified the process, then used workflow automation to drive rules-based approvals straight-through where conditions were met.

Back-office exception handling

Automation without losing control

  • 25% more work handled with the same team
  • Exception queue with clear ownership and aging
  • Audit trail for key decisions “for free”

Segmented straightforward work for STP and built a dedicated path for exceptions. Operators kept authority; automation handled the plumbing.
