My core skills are in fabrication and I spent many years doing custom work. Each job was different but the more I was able to "automate" for the customer the easier their jobs became. A well designed storage system, work station or tool could turn a tedious or awkward task into a money maker. Regular computer users, especially in small businesses need the same non glamorous repetitive stuff you mention automated for the same reasons. The software components are out there already, all that's needed is some "custom fabrication" to glue it all together. I think there is a huge invisible niche between shrink wrap and enterprise. Not necessarily big money, but steady and satisfying work.
