Operate · Back Office Solutions

Take repetitive work off your team’s plate.

The administrative work behind your operation still has to be right, on time and traceable. Novatek moves it into documented workflows with owners, turnaround targets and visible status.

Skilled people spending their week on data entry.

Back-office work expands quietly. Nobody owns it, so it lands on whoever has capacity — usually the person you hired to do something more valuable.

The fix is not more hands. It is a written process, a team trained to run it, a turnaround commitment and a report that tells you what happened without you asking.

Before

Undocumented, spread across people, invisible until it is late, impossible to hand over.

After

Written SOP, named owner, agreed turnaround, sampled accuracy, reported weekly.

Work Novatek runs as a managed process.

Each of these is delivered against a written SOP with a defined turnaround and accuracy target.

Data processing
Entry, validation, cleansing, deduplication, enrichment and migration between systems.
Administrative support
Scheduling, correspondence, filing, form handling and internal request queues.
CRM operations
Record creation and hygiene, pipeline updates, activity logging and list management.
Order processing
Order entry, amendments, returns, exceptions and status communication.
Documentation
Document preparation, formatting, version control and structured storage.
Research
Market, account, contact and competitor research to a defined brief and source standard.
Reporting
Recurring operational reports assembled, checked and delivered on a fixed schedule.
Virtual assistance
Dedicated support for a team or executive with a defined and documented scope.
Workflow support
Owning a step inside a larger process that currently stalls because nobody owns it.

Each is delivered against a written SOP you approve before it runs. See a worked example.

How work is run

Process discipline, made visible.

The difference between an outsourced process and an offloaded one is whether you can see it working.

  1. Observe the current process

    Sit with the people doing the work today. Record every step, every exception, every judgement call that is not written anywhere.

  2. Write and agree the SOP

    The process is documented, versioned and signed off by you before anyone is trained on it. It stays a living document.

  3. Define the numbers

    Volume, turnaround, accuracy target, exception rate and escalation thresholds are agreed in writing.

  4. Train and dry-run

    The team is trained on the SOP and runs it against historic or sample data until output is checked as correct.

  5. Transition in stages

    Volume moves across in controlled tranches with parallel checking, not in one handover.

  6. Review and tighten

    The SOP is reviewed on a fixed cadence, and every recurring exception either becomes a rule or gets fixed upstream.

Accuracy & control

How mistakes are caught.

Errors in back-office work are expensive because they are found late. These controls are designed to find them early.

Sampled checking
A defined percentage of output is independently checked against the SOP, every day.
Four-eyes on high-risk steps
Steps with financial or customer consequence require a second reviewer before release.
Error logging
Every error is logged with a cause: training, documentation, system or input quality.
Feedback into the SOP
Recurring causes change the process, not just the coaching.
Trend reporting
Accuracy is reported as a trend, so a drift is visible before it becomes a complaint.
Access discipline
Role-scoped system access, reviewed periodically and revoked on exit.

What we report on a managed process.

Set per workflow at Design stage from your own baseline, then reported on a fixed cadence.

MetricWhat it tells youReported
ThroughputVolume processed against volume received.Daily and weekly
Turnaround timeHow long an item takes from receipt to completion.Weekly, with distribution
Accuracy rateShare of sampled output that is correct first time.Weekly
Exception rateShare of items that fall outside the documented process.Weekly, with causes
BacklogWhether the queue is growing or shrinking.Daily

Rework rateShare of items that had to be redone, and why.Monthly

Every figure is reported weekly against the baseline recorded before launch, with the underlying data available to you. See a full sample pack.

Where the first process usually comes from.

One process, run properly, is a better first engagement than a department-wide handover.

CRM data is not trusted
Sales will not rely on the records, so they keep private spreadsheets and the pipeline stops being real.
Orders are handled by exception
The standard path is automated but every deviation lands on a person who already has a job.
Reporting eats the first week of every month
Recurring reports are assembled by hand from four systems, by someone senior.
Onboarding paperwork is the bottleneck
Customers are ready to start and are waiting on internal admin.
Research happens ad hoc
Account and market research happens when someone has time, so it is never current.
A migration nobody has time for
Data needs moving between systems, cleanly, and nobody can be spared for six weeks.
FAQ

Questions about moving a process

If the answer you need is not here, ask us directly — you will get a specific answer rather than a brochure.

By watching it. During Discover we sit with the people doing the work, record the steps, the exceptions and the judgement calls, and write the first version of the SOP. You review and correct it before anyone is trained on it.

Every workflow has a defined exception path: what the team decides, what it escalates, to whom and how fast. Exceptions are logged, and recurring ones become either a new documented rule or a flagged process problem.

Accuracy targets are set per workflow, with sampled checks, four-eyes review on defined high-risk steps, and error logging that identifies whether a mistake was training, documentation or system design.

Yes, and that is the preferred model. Working in your systems keeps your audit trail intact and avoids customer or commercial data sitting in exported files.

Turnaround commitments are set per workflow during Design, based on volume, complexity and coverage hours. Novatek does not publish blanket turnaround promises because they would not survive contact with a real process.
