Operations Systems

Reduce the time spent chasing routine operational work.

APX helps businesses improve repeatable processes where somebody has to check several systems, gather information, take a standard next step and keep others updated. We begin with one real process, keep people in control and build only what is useful.

Useful systems, with people still in control.

Businesses often already have the software they need. The difficult part is the work between it: checking what happened, gathering information, deciding what can safely be done and making sure the right person knows what is next.

If the system cannot safely finish the job, it stops, records what it found and hands it to a person.

What this can help with

  • Website checks and incident investigation
  • Repeated customer or internal handovers
  • Records, reminders and outstanding actions
  • Monitoring and evidence gathering
  • Approved routine actions
  • Clear reporting when a person needs to make the decision
How it works

A clear process, with sensible boundaries.

If the system cannot safely finish the job, it stops, records what it found and hands it to a person.

  1. 01

    Monitor

    Keep an eye on the agreed systems or events.

  2. 02

    Investigate

    Gather the information needed to understand what happened.

  3. 03

    Act

    Complete only the routine actions you have approved.

  4. 04

    Check

    Confirm whether the action worked.

  5. 05

    Hand over

    Provide a useful summary where a person needs to decide.

Example handover
09:42monitorcontact form stopped submitting
--:--checkwebsite: ok
--:--checkssl: ok
--:--checkdomain: ok
--:--investigaterecent update identified
--:--investigateform endpoint returning an error
--:--actno live change made
--:--hand overreview the latest update and restore or correct the form handler

“The contact form stopped submitting at 09:42. The website, SSL and domain are working normally. A recent update was identified and the form endpoint is returning an error. No live change was made. Recommended next step: review the latest update and restore or correct the form handler.”
