The Workflow Waste Audit: Understand the cost of the work behind the work.
The Workflow Waste Audit examines three workflows, estimates the time and cost involved, and turns the findings into a prioritised 30-day action plan. From US$999 (≈ AED 3,670).
Six steps. One clear picture.
The Workflow Waste framework behind the audit examines how work moves, identifies avoidable effort and delays, and assesses their business impact to prioritise what to change.
Three workflows, chosen together
A working session to pick the three that hurt most — client onboarding, sales hand-over, reporting, approvals, customer support, fulfilment, invoicing follow-up.
How the work actually moves
People involved, tools used, inputs and outputs, hand-offs, approvals, repeated data entry, exceptions and rework — from the people doing it, not the org chart.
Where it waits, repeats and stalls
Where work waits, where information is re-entered, where ownership is unclear, where two tools overlap, where manual follow-up is the process.
Hours and cost, assumptions shown
Approximate hours per week or month, staff capacity consumed, the cost of delays and rework — with every assumption written down so you can challenge it.
Automation and AI — where, and where not
Where automation fits, where AI helps, where the process should be simplified first, and where technology would add complexity or risk.
The prioritised 30-day roadmap
What to fix first, what to defer, the sequence, the owner, the suggested tools or approach, and the expected operational benefit.
- What is happening now, in one picture per workflow
- Where work is delayed or duplicated, and what it costs
- Which problem to address first, and what can change this month without new technology
- Which technology options are worth considering — and what not to build or buy yet
Scope and fees agreed before work begins; they vary with the number of people, tools and workflows involved. Estimates show their assumptions. Results depend on the changes implemented. The first five founding clients receive this price in exchange for an honest written review.

Implementation is scoped and quoted separately once the priorities and required work are understood. It can be a process change, clearer ownership, better use of a tool you already own, automation or AI.
Introductory call
Discuss one recurring business challenge and whether an audit is the right next step.
Workflow Waste Audit
Three workflows assessed, with estimated time and cost, improvement priorities and a 30-day action plan.
Your assessment and roadmap are included. Implementation is not.
Choose how to move forward.
Take the roadmap forward internally. Additional advisory support can be scoped separately.
Engage Connect360 to implement agreed priorities, with scope and fees confirmed separately.
No obligation to continue beyond the audit.
In short. Connect360 Advisory is an independent business process and digital advisory based in the UAE, led by Minakshi Shrimalve. Its Workflow Waste Audit examines three workflows in a service business or growing e-commerce team and delivers a prioritised 30-day action plan in two to four weeks, from US$999 (≈ AED 3,670). It starts with a free 30-minute introductory call and is delivered remotely to clients in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Europe and Malaysia.
Straight answers.
Is this an automation service?
Not automatically. We look at the workflow and the business problem first. The right answer may be process simplification, clearer ownership, better use of a tool you already own, automation, AI — or a mix.
Do I need to know which tool I want?
No. You don’t need to arrive with a software decision. The audit exists so you understand the problem before deciding what to buy or build.
What does the audit cost?
From US$999 (≈ AED 3,670), depending on the number of people, tools and workflow complexity involved. The scope and price are confirmed before work begins, never after.
Will you guarantee savings?
No. The audit estimates time and cost impact from the information available and shows its assumptions. It does not guarantee savings, revenue or a return on investment. Results depend on the changes implemented.
Is the free introductory call a consulting session?
It is a short conversation to check the fit, not the assessment itself. Bring one recurring operational problem: who is involved, how often it happens, which tools, where it stalls, what happens when it goes wrong.
Can you implement the recommendations?
Yes — you can implement the roadmap internally, or Connect360 can provide separately scoped support for selected workflow, automation, AI or product work.
Do you work with larger companies?
Yes. Alongside service businesses and growing e-commerce teams, Connect360 works with larger companies, especially in construction, manufacturing, engineering and oil & gas, where approvals, hand-offs and reporting cross many teams. The audit starts the same way: three workflows, mapped and measured. The method comes from twenty years inside much larger organisations.
What exactly do I receive at the end?
A clear picture of each of the three workflows as it runs today, where work is delayed or duplicated and what it costs with every assumption shown, and a prioritised 30-day roadmap: what to fix first, what to defer and who owns each action.
How much of my team’s time does the audit need?
One working session to choose the three workflows, then a short conversation with each person who does the work.
Is the audit remote or on-site?
Remote by default. On-site in the UAE by arrangement.
Which countries do you work in?
Connect360 is based in the UAE and works remotely with clients in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India, Europe and Malaysia.
How is this different from an automation agency?
An automation agency starts from the tool. The audit starts from the workflow and the business problem. The right answer may be a simpler process, clearer ownership or better use of a tool you already own, and only then automation or AI.
What happens after the 30-day roadmap?
You can carry it out with your own team, ask Connect360 to support selected priorities, or continue into a separately scoped build. Implementation is never priced before the audit.
What if my team is smaller than five people?
Team size is not a hard rule. Book a free introductory call and you will hear honestly whether the audit fits, or whether a smaller fix is enough.
How is my business information kept confidential?
Anything you share is used only for your audit and is never shared outside Connect360. You and I can sign a confidentiality agreement (NDA) before the audit starts. I ask only for the access the audit needs, your information is never put into public AI tools without your permission, and your files are deleted on request when the work ends.
Which workflow hurts most?
One line about it is enough to start.
One line is enough. Next: your email, then Minakshi will contact you to arrange a time. Free · 30 minutes.
