In short
What is process automation, and where do you start?
Process automation means recurring manual work happens by itself: retyping data, compiling reports or following up customers. Sharp Creations, from Julianadorp (the Netherlands), does this for SMEs in three steps: cleansing data, connecting systems and building dashboards. Cleansing and dashboards are priced after a call, as they depend on your sources and the state of your data; a custom integration starts at €2,500 excl. VAT. You always get a fixed price up front. We always start with the decisions you want to make with the numbers, not with a tool.

How it works
Dashboards, cleansing and connecting, explained.
Questions first, then charts
Nobody looks at a dashboard with fifty charts. We start with the decisions you make every week or month, such as purchasing, staffing or marketing budget, and find five to ten numbers for them. Each number gets one definition: what counts as a lead, as revenue, as a customer.
Data cleansing
We merge duplicate contacts, standardise spellings (phone numbers, countries, company names) and fill empty or wrong fields. More importantly, we set rules so it does not get messy again, such as required fields, fixed pick lists and a check on entry.
Connecting
We connect your systems through their APIs, so numbers come in automatically. If a standard connector or Zapier or Make does the job, we use that. If it must be reliable and handle a lot of data, we build a custom integration; see API integration development.
The right tool
For many SMEs, Looker Studio (free) or HubSpot’s reports are enough. With many sources or lots of data, a data warehouse such as BigQuery comes into view. We pick what fits your budget and your team. Also read when do you need a data warehouse?

Examples
Examples of what you can automate.
- A quote request on your website arrives as a contact in your CRM, with a task for the right colleague.
- Paid invoices from your accounting software (for example Exact Online or Moneybird) show up with the customer in your CRM.
- Online orders count automatically in your revenue dashboard, alongside in-store sales.
- Every Monday morning an overview of new enquiries per channel in your inbox.
These are general examples; we work out together what saves you the most time. In our cases you can see forms that land straight in HubSpot, such as the registrations at Experience Zorg and the booking and membership requests at ARENI Winestorage.
From our work
Forms that land straight in the CRM.
CARE · NORTH HOLLAND
Experience Zorg
Registrations through the website go straight into HubSpot.

Booking and membership requests linked directly to the HubSpot CRM.
These are websites with forms connected to the CRM, not standalone data projects. A public dashboard case is not on the site yet.
All casesPrice
What drives the price.
We price data cleansing and dashboards after a call, because the range is wide. A custom integration starts at €2,500 excl. VAT. What determines the price:
- the number of sources and how messy the data is now;
- the number of metrics and dashboards;
- whether a custom integration is needed, or a standard connector will do;
- how much history needs to come along.
Tool licences, such as a paid dashboard package, you pay directly to the vendor. You can start small, with one dashboard or one cleansing round.

Frequently asked questions
Good to know.
Question not listed? Just ask, one of the four of us will answer.
Ask your questionWhat does it cost to have a dashboard built?
We price it after a call, as it depends on the number of sources and metrics, and on how clean the data already is. You get a fixed price up front.
Which dashboard tool is best?
That depends on your sources and your team. Looker Studio is free and strong with Google sources, HubSpot has its own reports, and Metabase or Power BI suit more data or a Microsoft environment. Comparison: Looker Studio, Metabase or HubSpot.
Do I need a data warehouse?
Most SMEs do not. A data warehouse becomes interesting with many sources, lots of data or complex analysis. We advise the smallest setup that works.
How do you stop data getting messy again?
With rules at entry: required fields, fixed pick lists, a duplicate check and a clear owner per system. Cleansing without those rules needs repeating within months.
Is my data safe with you?
We work in your accounts, with as few permissions as needed. If we host something ourselves, it is in the EU. A data processing agreement is available on request.
Can you work with Exact, AFAS or Moneybird?
These packages have an API. What exactly is possible depends on your subscription; we check that up front.
Can I start small with data?
Yes. Start with one dashboard for the numbers you miss most, or one cleansing round in your CRM. Then expand.
Which numbers do you want to be able to trust?
Tell us briefly which systems you use and which numbers you are missing. You usually hear back within one working day, with a proposal or a few focused questions.
