Your process is in someone's head. That's the risk.

Every job is handled slightly differently. New staff improvise. Senior staff skip steps when busy. Things fall through the cracks, not because people are careless, but because the process isn't written anywhere it gets enforced.

Inconsistent execution

Two people handling the same type of job in two different ways. One forgets the compliance check. The other skips the sign-off.

Staff as bottlenecks

Every handoff requires a conversation. Manager approves things manually. Work waits for people instead of moving automatically.

Things falling through

Client onboarding was almost done. Almost. Nobody realised the welcome email never went out because the trigger wasn't set.

Your process, built like a flowchart.

Drag-and-drop, no developer required. If you can draw it, you can build it in HotKup.

Map every stage, with owners and timing.

Lay out each step of the job with an assignee, an expected duration, and what comes next. The process stops living in someone's head and starts running the same way every time.

  • Owners and estimated duration on every stage.
  • Triggers fire actions the moment a stage is reached.

Emails send themselves at each stage.

Attach a branded email template to any stage and it goes out automatically when work reaches that point. No copy-paste, no forgotten follow-ups, no welcome email that never went out.

  • Branded, personalised templates per stage.
  • The client always hears from you on time.

Collect what you need, at the right step.

Attach a form to a stage so the details, documents, and approvals you need arrive without the chasing. Your team and your clients fill them, and the answers land right on the record.

  • Internal or client-facing forms on any stage.
  • Responses attach to the job automatically.

One workflow ends, the next begins.

When a job finishes, the following workflow kicks off on its own. Onboarding flows into delivery, delivery into the first check-in, with nothing waiting on someone to remember.

  • Chain workflows so work never stalls between them.
  • The next stage starts without a manual push.

Approval gates

Notify the right person, wait for sign-off, then proceed, or escalate if no response arrives.

Escalation

If a task stalls past its deadline, HotKup escalates to a manager. Nothing stays stuck silently.

Conditional branching

Workflows that adapt: if the client is Residential go left, if Commercial go right.

New client onboarding, automated.

Here's what happens the moment a deal is marked Won in HotKup, without anyone pressing another button:

1
Client profile created automatically. Contact details, deal value, and custom fields copied from the pipeline record.
2
Welcome email sent to client. Branded, personalised, with their portal login link and next steps.
3
Onboarding tasks created and assigned. Kickoff call scheduled for the account manager, contract sent for e-sign, compliance checklist opened.
4
Approval gate triggered. Once the contract is signed, the finance team is notified to set up billing.
5
Onboarding complete, client moves to Active. The stage change fires the next workflow: first 30-day check-in scheduled automatically.
