New from Debox — 100 Ops. SOPs that actually get followed.See how it works →
For owners and directors of process-heavy businesses

You are still the escalation point for everything.

When a step gets missed, nobody knows until it reaches you. Put your SOPs on a system that gives every step an owner, a deadline and proof — with an app your floor team uses in their own language, so the business runs on process instead of running on you.

The real cost

You are not paying for a missing system. You are already paying for not having one.

It does not show up as a line item, which is exactly why it never gets fixed. It shows up as margin that was supposed to be there and wasn't, and as the fourth call this month you had to take personally.

Orders

Business lost in the gaps between departments

A quotation sits four days because the handover between sales and costing has no owner and no deadline. You find out when the customer stops replying.

Margin

The same mistakes, every quarter

Rework, rejections and penalties repeat because the fix was agreed in a meeting and never became a step anyone was accountable for finishing.

People

Your business sits inside three heads

Two or three people know how things actually run. If one leaves, six months go with them — and you cannot open a second plant or branch without them.

What changes for you

Less of your day spent chasing things that should have happened anyway.

The point is not software. The point is that you stop being the only person who notices when something has not moved.

You stop being the escalation point

Late steps escalate up the reporting line on their own, with the full history attached. Things reach you when they genuinely need you, not by default.

You can look at any function without asking anyone

Open the system and see where a department actually stands today. No request, no deck prepared for your benefit, no version of events.

Reviews stop being a matter of opinion

Function performance comes with operating data behind it. Appraisals get easier to defend and harder to argue with, in both directions.

The process outlives the person

When someone leaves, what they knew stays. A new plant, branch or hire inherits a working process instead of starting from someone's memory.

Problems surface as a daily list, not a monthly surprise

Your managers open what broke yesterday, not a dashboard. Charts are there for the monthly review, where they belong.

On the floor

Your shop-floor team will not walk to a computer to update a system.

This is where most process software quietly dies. The people who actually do the work are on a floor, at a gate, or at a customer site — and if updating the system means finding a desk, or reading English, they will stop. Then the data upstream stops being real, and so does everything you were going to review.

Works in
9 languages
हिन्दीमराठीગુજરાતીதமிழ்తెలుగుಕನ್ನಡবাংলাਪੰਜਾਬੀEnglishMore on request

Each person picks their own language, and the same step renders in it. Your gate supervisor reads Hindi, your plant head reads English, your Coimbatore unit reads Tamil — one process, one set of data, no separate versions to maintain.

An app, not a website on a phone

Native on Android and iOS, including the older and low-cost handsets your team already carries. Light on data. Ten minutes to learn, because it only ever shows a person the steps assigned to them today.

Works where there is no signal

Warehouses, basements, plant sheds and remote sites. Steps are completed offline and sync the moment the phone reconnects, with the original time and location preserved.

Proof captured where the work happens

Photograph the weighbridge slip at the gate, not from memory at the end of the shift. Camera, timestamp and location are built in, and the file is compressed before it uploads.

It gives something back to the person using it

Fewer people calling to ask if it is done. A clear list of what is pending and by when. And a record of their own work when something goes wrong and everyone starts pointing.

Reminders before things break, not after

A nudge on the phone when a step is close to its deadline. Escalation only if it still does not happen — so the supervisor gets a chance to fix it before it reaches their manager.

The obvious objection

"My people will just tick the boxes."

They would, if we let them. A system where a supervisor closes a step with one tap gives you clean data about messy operations, and that is worse than no data — because you would believe it.

So steps close against proof

Something that exists outside the person closing it

The step does not complete on a claim. It completes on something you could show an auditor or a customer.

  • A photo with time and location
  • A document, slip or signed record
  • A figure read from your ERP, Tally or SAP
  • A system event — mail sent, PO raised, GRN posted
  • A reading captured on the floor
And scoring starts with functions

Not with individuals, at least not on day one

Score a person from day one and the system becomes something to beat. Score the function and it becomes a management conversation instead of a fight.

  • Adherence by process, department and site
  • Which steps get skipped, and when
  • Steps closed on weak proof count for less
  • Individual scoring is a setting you turn on later, openly
  • You decide the timing, not the software
Before you decide

What this needs from you, and what it will not do.

You have almost certainly bought software that went quiet after four months. It usually fails for the same two reasons — nobody inside owned it, and the process underneath was wrong to begin with. Both are worth being honest about upfront.

4–6 weeks

The internal owner is not a formality. Across every rollout we have seen, it is the single strongest predictor of whether the system is still being used a year later. We will ask for the name in writing before we start.

It will not fix a process that is wrong

Putting a broken process on a system gives you faster visibility into breakage, nothing more. If your SOPs are stale or partly fictional, correct them first — we can do that, or you can.

It will not make people care

It makes it obvious who did and who did not. What you do with that is a management decision, and the system cannot make it for you.

It will not run your whole company from week one

Start with two or three functions. Add the rest once people are actually using it. Companies that map everything before anyone logs in are the ones that never go live.

It will not replace your ERP

Your ERP records transactions. This records whether the work behind them was done properly, and pulls figures from the ERP as proof.

Getting live

Five stages. You pay only for the ones you need.

Most companies find their written SOPs and their actual practice have drifted apart. That gap is worth closing before anything gets built, which is why the first two stages are optional only if you have already done the work.

Stage 0

Diagnostic

3–4 weeks · fee credited

We map process maturity function by function and show you, with numbers, where it is costing you. If you go ahead, the fee comes off the next stage entirely.

Stage 1

Review and correction

Consulting · skip if done

Our consultants sit with the people doing the work, correct the SOPs, fix the ownership and set deadlines that are actually achievable. A decade of process consulting, not a template dump.

Stage 2

Build and go live

Handover included

Your structure, processes, approvals and escalations are configured, tested on real transactions, and handed to your team trained and running.

Stage 3

Subscription

Monthly · by function

The platform runs. Add departments when you are ready. Price follows the functions you have live and the people covered — never the number of logins.

Stage 4

AI, if you want it

Priced separately

Nothing is bundled in and nothing is charged unless you switch it on. Most companies wait until they have three months of data before turning any of it on.

Where AI helps

Somebody has to check thousands of pieces of proof a week.

Once every step carries evidence, the volume becomes the problem. Either you put people on checking it, or the proof is no better than the tick box it replaced. This is the part where AI genuinely earns its cost.

Checks the proof

Reads what was submitted and flags what is blank, reused from last week, or does not match the step. Your people review the exceptions, not everything.

Writes the first draft of the SOP

Turns an existing document or a recorded walkthrough into a structured process you then correct. Cuts the setup work that stalls most rollouts.

Finds the quiet pattern

Which steps get skipped, by whom, and under what conditions — month-end, night shift, when one person is on leave.

Drafts the escalation and root cause

So the corrective action gets written while the detail is still fresh, instead of three weeks later from memory.

Answers questions in plain language

Which function slipped most this quarter. Where breaches cluster. Which step causes the most rework.

Runs on your model if you prefer

Connect your own AI and keep inference inside your environment. Same capability, your tokens, no usage charge from us.

Enterprise grade

It has to work with what you already run.

Most tools in this category are closed boxes. You put data in by hand and it stays there. That is fine for a checklist app and useless at your scale — because the strongest proof that a step was done properly is a figure sitting in a system nobody can edit after the fact.

Connects to
Two-way
SAPOracleMicrosoft DynamicsTallyZohoBusySalesforceSQL and Oracle databasesWhatsApp BusinessEmail and calendarYour in-house softwareAnything with an API

If your system does not have an API, we can read from a scheduled export or a database view. We have not yet met a system we could not connect to — and if yours is genuinely closed, we will tell you at the diagnostic stage rather than after you have signed.

Proof pulled, not typed

A step can close against a GRN posted in SAP, an invoice raised in Tally, or a status changed in your own software. Nobody re-enters anything, and nobody can claim something happened that the system says did not.

Your ERP stays the system of record

This does not replace it and does not try to. Your ERP records the transaction. This records whether the work behind the transaction was actually done, and reads from the ERP to prove it.

Built for how large companies actually run

Single sign-on, role and site-based access, multiple legal entities under one view, full audit trail on every change to a process, and an export your auditors will accept.

Open both ways

REST API, webhooks, scheduled sync and database connectors. Adherence and exception data can flow back into your MIS or BI tool so it sits alongside everything else you review.

Integrations are scoped, not assumed

We map exactly which systems, which fields and which direction during the build, and it is written into the scope. No open-ended promises and no surprise integration bill in month five.

Your data

It can stay inside your building.

Access is by role, department and site. Approvers see what they approve. Function heads see their function. Every change to a process is recorded with who made it and when.

Hosted by us

Fastest way to get live. Updated continuously. AI usage billed at cost plus a fixed margin, with an annual ceiling agreed upfront so there are no surprises.

On your servers

The platform runs on your infrastructure with your storage. Deployment, updates and version support under a defined annual scope.

Your own AI

Plug in your own model or endpoint. Nothing leaves your environment, and you carry no usage charge from us at all.

Two ways to start

Depending on whether your processes are ready.

Route A

We fix the process first

Our consultants review and correct your SOPs before anything is built. You end up with processes that are right, not just processes that are on a screen.

Priced on people who run the process, and storage you actually use.

Two kinds of people use this. A small group builds processes, approves things and reviews performance — those are full users, and they set your plan. Everybody else completes their own steps and uploads proof. Those are contributors, and they are close to free, because coverage is the only thing that makes the data worth having.

How storage actually works

Photos and documents attached as proof are compressed on upload and moved to lower-cost storage after twelve months, so the included allowance goes a long way. An office-heavy business will rarely touch it. A plant capturing photographs at every gate will buy blocks — and you will see the meter well before you hit the limit, never after.

Running on your own servers means your storage, your cost, and nothing billed by us for it.

What else you should know

Prices rise 10% a year from year two. That is written into the contract at signing, so there is no annual renegotiation and no surprise.

AI modules are priced separately and only charged when you switch them on. Consulting for Stages 0 and 1 is quoted against the scope you actually need, and the diagnostic fee comes off it in full.

Do the maths yourself

How little has to improve before this pays for itself.

You are going to run this calculation in your head anyway, so here it is with your numbers instead of ours. Nothing is sent anywhere — it works entirely in your browser.

At ₹250 Cr, recovering 30 basis points is worth ₹75.0 L against a platform cost of ₹15.0 L.

This is arithmetic, not a promise. Whether you actually recover the margin depends on what you do with the data, not on the software. What we can say is that the number needed to justify the spend is smaller than most owners expect — usually one fewer rejected consignment, or a couple of orders that stop dying between departments.

Straight answers

What owners ask us before they sign.

How much of my own time will this take?+

Around four hours a month for the first quarter, then about two. Most of that is reviewing what the data is telling you, not managing the rollout. What we do need is one person at AVP or GM level who owns it internally, named before we start.

We bought something like this before and it died in four months.+

Usually for one of two reasons. Nobody inside owned it once the vendor left, or it was digitising a process that was already wrong. We ask for the internal owner in writing, and we would rather correct the process first than build on top of a bad one. If either condition is missing, we will tell you before you sign, not after.

Most of our floor staff are not comfortable with English or with computers.+

Then they should not have to use either. The app runs in nine languages including Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali and Punjabi, each person picks their own, and it works on the basic Android phone or iPhone they already carry. It only ever shows them the steps assigned to them today, so there is nothing to navigate and about ten minutes of training. It also works without signal and syncs later, which matters in a plant.

Will my team resist it?+

Some will, and it usually comes from the fear that it is a monitoring tool aimed at them. That is why scoring starts at function level rather than individual, and why individual scoring is a separate decision you make later and announce openly. It also has to give something back — fewer people chasing them, clarity on what is pending, and proof of work when something goes wrong.

How will I know within 90 days whether it is working?+

Three things. Deadline breaches in the first function should fall visibly. The number of issues reaching you personally should drop. And your function head should be able to answer a question about last week without going and asking three people. If none of that is happening at 90 days, something is wrong and we should talk.

What happens if the person driving it internally leaves?+

The process stays on the system, which is the point. But you will need to name a replacement, and we will raise it rather than wait. This is the most common way a good rollout quietly stops.

Will it talk to our SAP / Tally / in-house software?+

Yes, and it should — a step that closes against a figure read from your ERP is far stronger proof than one closed by a person saying it was done. We connect through API, webhooks, scheduled exports or a direct database view, and we map exactly which systems and which fields during the build so it is in the scope rather than a surprise later.

How much storage will we actually need?+

It depends entirely on how photo-heavy your processes are. An office-led business at 250 full users might use 30 GB in three years. A plant capturing a photograph at every gate could use ten times that in one. The included allowance covers most companies comfortably, files are compressed on upload, and you see the meter well before you reach the limit.

Can our data stay in-house?+

Yes. The platform can run on your servers with your storage, and you can connect your own AI model so nothing leaves your environment. Deployment and ongoing version support are covered under a defined annual scope.

Do I have to do the whole company at once?+

No, and we would advise against it. Start with two or three functions where the pain is clearest, get people using it, then add the rest. Companies that try to map everything before anyone logs in generally never go live.
