Process automation and workflow design

by Bauer Automate

Automate repetitive work and keep your business moving

Bauer Automate designs and builds workflow automation for organizations in Calgary, Alberta, and across Canada. We build mainly in Microsoft Power Automate, inside the Microsoft 365 you already pay for, and we can build in another low-code automation platform you already own. If repetitive manual tasks, slow approvals, or disconnected systems are eating your week, this is the service that fixes it.

We design flows that connect your apps, take the hand work out of your processes, and run routine tasks on their own. Your team gets its time back for the work that matters.

Why automation matters

Manual work slows everything down. Automation helps you:

  • Cut the time spent on routine tasks
  • Reduce human error and inconsistency
  • Speed up approval turnaround
  • Run every process the same way every time
  • Connect systems that do not naturally talk to each other
  • Raise productivity without adding headcount

Your business becomes more predictable and easier to scale.

What we deliver

Our automation service covers the full lifecycle: discovery, design, and deployment.

  • Identify bottlenecks, redundancies, and hand-off gaps
  • Map trigger points, decision branches, and approvals
  • Define success criteria and measurable outcomes
  • Prioritize automation opportunities by impact and effort

How long it takes

Most automations are delivered in 1 to 4 weeks, depending on:

  • Whether data standardization is needed

We work in short rounds so you see value early.

Frequently asked questions

Mainly Power Automate. If your organization already runs another low-code automation platform, or has a subscription you want to keep, we can build inside that instead.

Power Automate is Microsoft's automation platform. It connects deeply with Microsoft 365 tools such as SharePoint, Outlook, Teams, Dataverse, and the Office apps. If you already run Microsoft 365, it is usually the most direct and secure fit.

Other low-code automation platforms do similar work and connect to a wide range of apps outside the Microsoft ecosystem. The right choice depends on your systems and on what your business already pays for. We build mainly in Power Automate and can work inside a platform you already have.

Yes. Approvals, reminders, and escalations are some of the most common flows we build.

Not always. We can connect on-premises systems through a gateway or an API. For an application with no integration option at all, robotic process automation (RPA) can drive the keyboard and mouse the way a person would. We do not promise to integrate every tool on the market. If you use something specific and are not sure where to start, book a free consultation and we will talk through your options.

No. Automation removes tedious tasks so your team can focus on higher-value work.

Yes. Basic training on how your new flows work is included. We also offer official training and certification prep courses.

Work smarter. Automate the rest.

If you want faster processes, fewer manual tasks, and systems that work together, our automation service can change how your business runs day to day.
