External accountant and payroll consultant

Usually outsourced

The books and the payroll are outsourced and fed in batches, and the artisan regime makes every correction a call.

This one is done by a person.

The first week

What starts after the brief is complete, with every condition kept visible.

  1. A task from the role brief

    Once the brief is complete and the Digital Employee is active, Scovai creates a first task from the role definition. An incomplete brief never produces invented work.

  2. A useful daily summary

    At 07:30 local time, supervisors and the workspace owner receive yesterday's work, open approvals, incidents, silence and spend. Empty days send no email, except for the quiet Monday check-in.

  3. Phone updates by choice

    The push invitation appears only after the first approval request. If you do not enable it, the operational picture remains available in the email summary.

Straight answers

Who supervises the digital employees?

Each digital employee sits in a seat under a named person in the workshop, usually the master artisan. It covers an administrative or support function under that person's supervision, reports what it did, and stops whenever the supervisor says so. No digital employee sits in the professional core seat.

What does a digital employee never decide?

Anything the master artisan decides: a piece accepted, a price, a delivery date promised, a material bought, a discount or a refund, the rota, a hire, an answer to a complaint, the safety and the food or product regulations, and whatever its brief marks as reserved: payments, anything sent to an authority or a retailer. On those it prepares the work and asks before acting; the first message to any outside recipient is always a draft.

Where does it take its data from?

From the order book, the online shop, the stock sheet, the supplier portals, the messaging channels, the social pages, the bank and the folders you connect to its seat, and from what the master artisan and the team tell it. It reads nothing you have not connected, contacts nobody you have not listed and handles personal data only within the systems you already use.

What does it cost?

Each digital employee is billed monthly by price band, shown in your currency on the marketplace before you claim a seat. You claim one seat at a time and can release it; there is no bundle price.
