Automation in Trois-Rivières: paper, metallurgy, and traditional manufacturing
Trois-Rivières is the historical heart of pulp & paper (Kruger, Cascades, Resolute), metallurgy (Saint-Maurice valley, Aluminerie Bécancour nearby), strong traditional manufacturing, and regional logistics. The shared challenge: 20-year-old paper or Excel processes holding back an aging workforce against modern competition, with the original authors of those processes increasingly retired or impossible to replace.
For paper and metal SMEs, we automate the handoffs between MES production systems and management ERPs, environmental reports to the MELCC, recurring supplier orders, and shift handover paperwork. For traditional manufacturing, we kill manual entries between the shop floor, Acomba/Avantage billing, and client portals. For pro offices in Trois-Rivières-Ouest and Cap-de-la-Madeleine, we automate document management and customer reminders.
Approach for Mauricie: we come on-site to your plant, free audit, prototype in 2-3 weeks tested in your environment. French documentation, team training, Canadian hosting. We stay on-site for support — Quebec-City-based team, trips to Trois-Rivières when needed. No subcontracting to Montréal that makes iterations painful when something breaks at the end of a shift.
What do your repetitive tasks cost you each year?
Do your employees still spend hours processing invoices, preparing quotes, entering orders, or producing reports?
These tasks are necessary, but some steps could be done automatically.
At I3, we analyze your processes to identify automation opportunities and reduce the time spent on repetitive operations.
Could your month-end and quoting processes be faster?
At each accounting close, do your teams have to search for invoices, reconcile data, and check variances?
And when a customer asks for a quote, how long does it take to retrieve prices, calculate costs, and prepare an offer?
We can automate certain validation, calculation, and information-transfer steps to reduce handling, errors, and delays.
Example: the year-end financial review
Your auditor asks for supporting documents. Does your team have to find and send invoices one by one?
We can develop features that centralize the documents and let the auditor consult the authorized records through secure access.
Less time searching for documents. More time managing your finances.
Connect systems already in place
ERP, CRM, payroll, accounting, web platforms, and internal tools need to work together better to avoid double entry, information loss, and unnecessary delays.
Administrative and operational automation
We can automate payroll, time tracking, certain administrative follow-ups, document routing, approvals, and transfers between systems.
What if artificial intelligence could also work inside your software?
Artificial intelligence agents can be developed to analyze documents, retrieve authorized information, prepare files, and flag anomalies.
They can take part in administrative, financial, and production operations, according to the capabilities of the software and the controls you define.
The goal is to let your teams spend more time on the work that requires their expertise.

Common questions
Which tasks can be automated in an SMB?
Invoice processing, approvals, quotes, reports, follow-ups, and many administrative or operational steps can be assessed for automation.
Do we have to replace our current software?
Not necessarily. We first look for ways to use the tools already in place in your company.
What is the difference between an automation and an AI agent?
An automation carries out steps according to defined rules. An AI agent can also interpret certain information and use authorized tools to take part in a process.
What do the tasks you could automate cost you?
Show us a process that takes too much time in your company. We will look at the steps, the software involved, and the automation options.
