Automate 80% of Your Admin Work with Make.com

By Saspire Team 7 min read

Every Belgian SME has that one employee who spends half their day copy-pasting data between systems, sending follow-up emails, or updating spreadsheets. What if that work could run itself? With Make.com (formerly Integromat), it can.

What Is Make.com?

Make.com is a visual automation platform that connects your apps and services without writing code. Think of it as a digital assembly line: when something happens in one app, it triggers actions in others — automatically.

5 Automations Every SME Should Set Up

1. Lead Capture → CRM → Email Sequence

When someone fills in your contact form, automatically create a deal in your CRM, send a personalized thank-you email, and notify your sales team on Slack. Time saved: 15 minutes per lead.

2. Invoice → Accounting → Payment Reminder

Generate invoices from your project management tool, push them to your accounting software, and auto-send payment reminders at day 15 and day 30. Time saved: 2 hours per week.

3. Order → Fulfillment → Tracking Email

When an order comes in (webshop, email, or portal), automatically create a fulfillment task, update stock levels, and send the customer a tracking notification. Time saved: 5 minutes per order.

4. Social Media Scheduling

Write your posts in a Google Sheet, and let Make.com publish them to LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram at scheduled times. Time saved: 3 hours per week.

5. Report Generation

Every Monday morning, automatically pull data from your analytics, CRM, and accounting tool into a formatted report and email it to your team. Time saved: 1 hour per week.

The ROI of Automation

Let's do the math. If these 5 automations save a combined 20 hours per week , and your average employee cost is €35/hour, that's:

  • €700/week in saved labor
  • €2,800/month in recovered productivity
  • €33,600/year — far more than the setup cost

Getting Started

The best approach is to start with one high-impact automation, prove the ROI, then expand. We recommend beginning with your lead capture workflow — it directly impacts revenue and is quick to implement (typically 1-2 days).
