How Automated Admin Systems Work

Our Python-driven admin systems are designed to be highly adaptable, allowing businesses to integrate them seamlessly into their operations. The key benefits include:

  • Customisation: Our solutions are tailored to your specific business needs.
  • Scalability: Systems that grow with your business.
  • Cost Efficiency: Avoid ongoing costs associated with traditional CRM systems.

Our goal is to create systems that save you time and money. Through seamless API integration and simplified user interfaces, we make managing administrative tasks easier than ever.

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a bridge that allows different software systems to communicate with each other. By integrating APIs, we ensure that your automated admin systems can connect with your other software tools, making data management and business processes more efficient.

For example, we integrate systems with platforms like Stripe for payments, inventory management tools, and CRM systems, allowing for centralised control and automation across your business.

Simplified CRM Systems

Many businesses are overwhelmed by complex Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems that come with a host of features they don’t need. At Barrett Solutions, we strip back the unnecessary elements and provide only what your business requires.

Traditional CRMs can be overcomplicated and expensive. We focus on the core functionalities that matter to your business, ensuring that the system is easy to use, cost-effective, and completely bespoke. This approach allows you to manage customer relationships, track sales, and handle customer interactions without the hefty price tag of a full-scale CRM system.

A Fast-Food Franchisee's Marketing Tool

One of our clients, a fast-food franchise, initially approached us to develop a simple PDF checklist for franchisees. However, the project quickly evolved into a dynamic, web-based marketing tool that automates many administrative tasks. The system includes features such as:

  • Completing digital questionnaires.
  • Adding notes and tracking progress.
  • Exporting results to PDF.
  • Managing questions and point allocations.

This bespoke system has become an essential internal resource, significantly improving franchisee support and maintaining consistency across their customer interactions. Franchisees can now easily track and report on their progress, ensuring a more efficient and standardised approach to marketing.

E-Learning Portals for Franchisees

Many of our clients require ongoing content delivery systems, especially for training and e-learning purposes. We created a centralised hub for a fast-food franchise where franchisees can access:

  • Marketing materials and guides.
  • Training videos.
  • A digital asset library with branded resources.

This cloud-based hub operates on a sub-domain, with password-protected access to the portal. The system is on a subdomain, so using “portal.” in front of the standard domain name to allow for ease of management and keep it cost effective by piggy backing on the main domain without having to pay twice.

The system is easy to navigate and offers the flexibility to make ongoing additions, such as embedding new videos or updating guides. This setup reduces the need for constant admin oversight, as franchisees can access what they need independently, whenever they need it.

Recently, our client tasked us with another addition. While the platform appears lightweight on the surface, we handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes. The client needed to upload 200 photos across multiple categories on their portal, with each category spanning 30 pages, all organised using short codes. These images were specifically designed to be used as cover images for social media accounts and outlet profiles. We ensured the photos were pre-scaled and ready for immediate use, streamlining the process for the franchisees.

We Love Collectibles (WLC) – Automated Admin System

For We Love Collectibles (WLC), a trading card business in Margate, we developed a comprehensive admin dashboard that automates much of their backend work. Key features of the system include:

  • Centralised data management via API integration.
  • Inventory control across e-commerce and physical locations.
  • Unified stock management for both online and in-store sales.

The system has transformed how WLC operates, allowing them to manage multiple aspects of their business from a single interface. This has not only reduced admin hours but also improved inventory accuracy, leading to increased customer satisfaction and sales.

Improving User Experience (UX/UI)

At Barrett Solutions, we believe that automated admin systems should be user-friendly and designed for ease of use. For WLC, we built a system with a simple, visually appealing interface, ensuring the platform was on-brand but easy for their team to navigate.

We also added advanced filtering options, allowing customers to search for specific trading cards more effectively. By automating parts of the e-commerce process, we increased sales per-day and improved customer experience without increasing staff workload.

An upcoming project involves building a custom computer part picker system for one of our clients. Customers will visit the website, select components from a set of pre-configured options to build their desired computer, and receive an automatic email summarising their chosen parts. This system is designed to significantly reduce admin workload by automating key aspects of the client’s business, streamlining the purchasing process, and enhancing the customer experience.
