COCO / BUSINESS ENGINEERING
Business first. Engineering next.
01 / THE REAL PROBLEM
Technology is the means.
The workflow comes first.

Xero integration must map contacts, items, tax, invoices and credit notes; OAuth permissions, API quotas and duplicate sync need a deliberate strategy. The accounting ledger remains governed by the business.

FIELD NOTE / ILLUSTRATIVE

A moment worth redesigning

A rep records an agreed wholesale order. Admin still recreates every line and tax code in Xero.

Composite business vignette, not a client quote or measured result.

02 / HOW WE WORK

Find the real rules.
Then engineer the workflow.

We start with operations, system boundaries and failure scenarios. These stages are a proposed approach, not a guaranteed scope.

HANSFORD / HISTORICAL CLIENT WORK Field orders should move reliably into finance.

Hansford’s actual engagement connected field ordering to its existing finance workflow and evolved over time. This does not prove delivery of every named third-party integration.

04 / EVIDENCE OF IMPROVEMENT

How will we know it helped?

Useful evidence starts with baseline measurements—not invented success percentages.

01

Invoice-to-order amount discrepancies

Establish a baseline before claiming improvement.

02

Re-entry and manual reconciliation effort

Establish a baseline before claiming improvement.

03

Time to detect and repair failed syncs

Establish a baseline before claiming improvement.

05 / RELATED CAPABILITIES

What else does
the workflow touch?

Customers, orders, products, inventory and finance intersect. Explore adjacent capabilities and decide what belongs in scope.
