With today’s technology it is easier than ever before to automate manual processes.
Automating repetitive tasks performed by staff members allows organisations to free up valuable time. Time which can then be assigned to more valuable activities. Which also has the potential to increase job satisfaction.
Alternatively, time savings can be banked by organisations to gradually reduce the amount of FTE the organisation requires.
Swapping manual processes for automation helps organisations scale or grow at lower incremental cost. In theory, once an automation is implemented it won’t cost any more to run once a month or 100 times a month.
Examples of tasks which can be easily automated include: Data entry, search and download from the internet, extracting information from invoices and emails, and triggering and sending automatic emails based on business rules.
