The problem

Before partnering with Anxiom

They served 50+ clients weekly and the entire workflow was manual:

  • Phone calls and WhatsApp messages for every order
  • Orders were written down on paper
  • Delivery notes were filled out by hand
  • Invoices were generated a week later on a single computer
  • Paper stacks, printing, and filing cabinets everywhere
  • Constant risk of errors, delayed payments, and missing paperwork

Our approach

How Anxiom tackles this work

We don’t start by automating. We start by understanding the process.
Discovery session to map the real ordering, delivery-note, and invoicing flow.
Process analysis to spot friction and bottlenecks.
Tool, cost, and ROI evaluation before committing to any platform.
A shared, clear proposal before implementation.
