SII Czech Republic · Automation program · Delivery review
Everything is built.
Two modules run in production.
Status of the 5 modules, the August 2026 numbers, and the one decision we take together today.
01 · Where we stand
Five modules, at a glance.
MODULE 1
Smart Reminder & Escalation
In productionOpening emails, detection and filing, tracker, reminders, closure. 91% collected automatically in August.
MODULE 2
Invoice Validation
In productionDays x rate = amount, checked before anyone opens a PDF. Two cycles of testing.
MODULE 3
Parallel Automations
Built, in testBM Data Collector, Inbox Classification, Attendance Report. Invoice Push next.
MODULE 4
Logging & Dashboard
LiveEvery action logged. Dashboard with cycle view, exceptions, performance and time saved.
MODULE 5
Knowledge Agent
Ready, surface to decideAgent built, knowledge base v1 built. Where it lives is today's decision.
Nothing changed in the admin team's habits. Same mailbox, same files, same checklist. The automation runs in parallel, with no duplicates and no one stepping on the other.
02 · August 2026 cycle, real numbers
What the automation did last month.
Timesheets collected automatically
91%
detected, named, filed in the consultant's folder, tracker updated
Invoices detected
24
read with Azure Document Intelligence, no LLM ever sees the PDF
Validated automatically
16
days worked x daily rate = invoiced amount, exact match
Discrepancies caught
8
amount or currency gap against the timesheet, isolated for review
A flagged invoice is not an automation error. It is the check doing exactly what it is there for: finding the gap before payment, so the admin team only looks at the 8, not the 24.
03 · Module 1 · Smart Reminder & Escalation · in production
The collection cycle runs itself.
- 01
Opening emailEvery consultant gets the right template at cycle opening. Nataliya drops the month's templates in one folder, the flow redistributes them.
Built
- 02
Detection and auto-filingEach incoming timesheet is identified, named and filed. 91% of August collected without a human touch.
Production
- 03
TrackerLive status per consultant: received, pending, late, error, with latency.
Production
- 04
Reminders and escalationThree reminders: two to the consultants, one to the admin with the really late ones. Dates and on/off editable through the Cycle Review agent.
Built
- 05
Cycle Review agentAt cycle start, validates with the admin: opening date, template send date, reminder dates, deadline, working days of the month.
Surface to decide
04 · Module 2 · Timesheet & Invoice Validation · in production, 2 cycles of testing
Invoices checked before anyone opens them.
- 01
ExtractionAzure AI Document Intelligence, non-generative, approved by SII security on 17 August. Only structured fields leave the step.
- 02
The checkDays worked x daily rate = invoiced amount. Exact match, zero tolerance. Currency and rate verified.
- 03
ExceptionsMismatch, missing rate, low confidence: routed to the admin, never auto-validated on doubt.
- 04
One folder per consultantTimesheet and invoice side by side. One click from the dashboard opens it.
August 2026
16 validated
8 flagged
out of 24 invoices detected. Some cases (on-call, mobile allowances) will keep needing a human decision, and the flow routes them instead of guessing.
05 · Module 3 · Parallel Automations · built, entering test
Four automations around the cycle.
R1.P1.1
BM Data Collector
Surface to decideAn email reaches each Business Manager at cycle start. The agent collects leavers, newcomers and rate changes through a conversation or a voice message. Buffer table, admin review.
R2.P1.1
Inbox Classification
In test nowTimesheet mail is already handled deterministically. The classifier covers the rest, signatures stripped. Validated with Nataliya at the end of the September cycle, then production.
R1.P2.3
Attendance Report
BuiltEvery detected timesheet is written day by day into one generic Excel, each line flagged with the manager. One paste per manager. No hard-wired manager list to break.
R1.P3.2
Invoice Push
NextSame mechanism, applied to the "invoices to issue" file. Cloned once the Attendance Report is validated with the admin team.
06 · Module 4 · Logging System · offered · live
Every action logged, one console to see it.
AUDIT TRAIL
Execution log
Timestamp, cycle, flow, consultant, result, details. The evidence layer for what the automation actually did, and raw material for maintenance.
DASHBOARD
Cycle, consultants, activity
Timeline of the cycle, what needs attention today, every consultant with one-click folder access. The admin checklist is the source of truth and overrides the automation's view.
PERFORMANCE
Automation vs admin team
Consultant by consultant: what the flows handled against what the admin ticked. Exceptions caught. Time saved for SII, computed from the audit's minutes per task.
Local HTML file, reads the Excel files directly, nothing written back, no server. More statistics as the team gets used to the automation.
07 · Module 5 · Internal Knowledge Agent · ready, surface to decide
The FAQ agent is ready.
- 01
Agent builtAnswers the team's recurring operational questions: processes, rules, deadlines.
- 02
Knowledge base v1 builtFrom the SII website content. Internal documents added next, each reviewed by SII before indexing.
- 03
No personal dataCurated content only, as agreed with Jakub on 18 and 19 August. No mailbox ingestion.
"Where do we put this agent?"
Answer that today, and Module 5 is complete.
08 · The decision for today
Where do the agents live?
Three agents are built in Copilot Studio: Cycle Review (admin), BM Data Collector (Business Managers), Knowledge Agent (whole team). Teams was surface number one and is blocked by the custom app policy.
| Option | Fits | Requirements |
| Teams (custom app approved) | All three agents, best experience, proactive messages | Teams admin: allow Power Platform apps, approve the app, setup policy for BMs and admin |
| Copilot access for the admin team | Cycle Review, and the knowledge agent for a small group | Copilot licences for the users concerned |
| Dedicated email address (answers only to @sii.cz) | BM Data Collector, Knowledge Agent | A mailbox and a mail-triggered flow, no Teams change |
