It doesn’t have to take a genius to help explain what automation is all about. It has become so prevalent in today’s society that you simply cannot get away from it.
From the most complex of computer storage solutions to a device as simple as your automatic coffee machine, automation has become a part of everyday life.
The benefits of automation
Let’s break away from the idea of driverless cars and robots cooking in a kitchen then try to focus on an everyday function that can largely benefit from it- almost all your routine manual tasks
Automation can provide you with two of the most common yet amazing goals of every business entity- productivity and efficiency.
It could help your business reduce cost, identify errors, and speed up your business processes, allowing your people more time to focus on planning and executing projects to boost your business.
In the real estate industry, automation can give you more time and energy to focus on your core business and allow automation to take care of your other manual routine tasks that take you away from it.
It supports your business and sales processes
A report revealed that lost productivity and poorly managed leads can cost companies around $1 trillion each year. Unproductive prospecting delays due to traditional practices can eat up 50% of valuable sales time.
Automating your checklists, inventory, accounting, customer information, invoices, and receipts can not only save you time, but it also saves money.
It makes it easy to store your digitised data versus maintaining piles and piles of paperwork that could end up getting lost or damaged in the process. Worse, archaic filing systems could eat up a lot of time and effort manually as you through piles of written data on paper.
Incorporate tasks via a single business process network
Automating your business systems will allow it to collaborate with the different operation functions within your network. It centralises the work to let your human resources have more focus on more important tasks or where you need your people to be.
Whereas with traditional processes people get burdened with multitasking that can be very disruptive to operational workflows. You have a reason to be concerned because 40% of productivity gets lost to task-switching, according to studies.
Eliminates manual data entry
A recent survey has found that employees spend between 20% and 40% of their working hours just searching for documents manually. Professional and career individuals, on the other hand, spend 50% of their time searching for information which is an average of 18 minutes to find each document.
With digital automation, the process of creating, storing, accessing, and sharing information saves a lot of time and effort. This is why automation becomes an important aspect of businesses today and in the future.
