You don’t always need a big system. Sometimes a 10-line script can save hours of repetitive admin. Here are real examples from South African small businesses.
1. Auto-exporting Sales Reports
A retailer wanted to send daily sales reports to their accountant. A short script now exports a CSV every evening at 6pm and emails it automatically.
2. WhatsApp Message Templates
A tutor sends dozens of reminders weekly. With a simple script and template, reminders go out with one click instead of typing each one manually.
3. File Renaming in Bulk
A construction company had hundreds of project photos with messy filenames. A quick bulk-rename tool now labels them by project and date.
Why This Matters
These aren’t massive “digital transformations.” They’re small, practical automations that cut admin and free up time for actual work.
Look for bottlenecks in your business — if it feels boring and repetitive, there’s probably a script for it.
