what we solve / work assignment and handovers

Stop work falling through the cracks.

Most jobs do not get dropped because someone is bad at their job. They get dropped in the handover, when nobody is quite sure who owns what next. We make handovers obvious and assignment automatic.

the problem

In plain English.

Work moves between people all day. Sales passes a deal to ops, ops passes a job to the tech, the tech passes a finished job to admin for invoicing. Each handover happens in a different chat, email, or quick word in the kitchen. When something goes quiet, no one knows who was supposed to pick it up. Owners end up acting as a human dispatcher just to keep things moving.

this might look like

  • 01

    trades and field services

    A job is quoted, accepted, and meant to be scheduled. The scheduler is on leave and nobody else picks it up. The customer rings a week later asking when you are coming.

  • 02

    retail and wholesale

    An online order needs a custom configuration. Sales replies to the customer, then expects warehouse to pick it up. Warehouse never sees it because it was in a private email thread.

  • 03

    agency or creative

    A client signs off a project. The account manager assumes design has started. Design is waiting for the brief that account managers do every time but forgot.

how votan helps

What changes, on the ground.

  • 01

    Every job has a clear owner at every step, with no guessing.

  • 02

    Handovers happen automatically when a step finishes, with all the context the next person needs.

  • 03

    If something sits too long without being actioned, the system flags it.

  • 04

    Your team stops getting interrupted with 'who is doing X?' questions.

  • 05

    The owner can step out of the dispatcher role and back into running the business.

  • 06

    Quiet jobs get noticed before the customer notices them.

example

illustrative, not a client case study

A services business with a sales team and an operations team keeps losing the handover. We set up a simple workflow that, the moment a deal is marked won, creates the job, assigns the right operator based on the type of work, sends them a short briefing pulled from the deal, and pings the owner if it is not acknowledged within a day. The dropped jobs problem quietly disappears.
