[INFOGRAPHIC] ** [Annette Gardner](https://blog.soliditech.com/blog/author/annette-gardner) ** Jun 16, 2014 ![](https://blog.soliditech.com/hubfs/how-does-solid-actually-work---UPDATED.png) The concept of 'Business Process Automation' is not exactly new. [Henry Ford](http://history1900s.about.com/od/1910s/a/Ford--Assembly-Line.htm) introduced the world's first assembly line in 1913 to revolutionise the manufacturing industry. We have brought the same practical concepts to the often complicated and disconnected world of business operations management. Obviously, how it actually works is slightly different. Ford engineered a very practical solution for the time-consuming, costly and inefficient problem of manufacturing cars one-by-one. By doing so he greatly reduced cost-per-car and brought the wonders of vehicular travel to the masses. Our solution is [SOLID](http://www.soliditech.com/software-features/), a business automation software platform that has done exactly that. We have greatly reduced the cost-per-customer of order fulfillment, billing and customer service and brought the wonders of automation to your industry. Our goal is 'admin automation'. Creating powerful software that does the admin work for you while you concentrate on serving your customers. Our tool set is [essential business features](http://www.soliditech.com/software-features/) such as customer management, billing, and provisioning (to name a few) and our power lies in workflow automation. Click here for "[Everything you Need To Know About Business Process Automation](https://blog.soliditech.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-business-process-automation)".  # How does SOLID automation software work?
