Discover how automation can revolutionise your business operations, saving you valuable time and money. Say goodbye to mundane tasks and hello to increased efficiency and productivity. Business owners worldwide are embracing automation as a game-changer. It's no wonder why - automation saves costs, eliminates repetitive tasks, and allows your employees to focus on high-value activities. But navigating the complexities of automation can be daunting.
That's where we come in. Our comprehensive report cuts through the jargon and provides real examples of how investing in automation can benefit your business.
Streamline Your Processes with Automation
Did you know that nearly half of all work activities can be automated using existing technology? Imagine the possibilities for your business.
Identifying which tasks to automate is key. Break down your processes into manageable parts and identify individual tasks that can be automated. From issuing invoices to managing contracts, there are countless opportunities for automation.
Start with tasks ranked as 'Basic' or 'Advanced.' With tools like Zapier, you can automate these tasks, saving significant time and money. Imagine the impact on your accountancy, business development, eCommerce, customer service, marketing, office management, logistics, and human resources processes.
Stay Ahead of the Competition
History has shown us that businesses that fail to adopt new technologies suffer the consequences. Don't let your competitors outpace you. Embrace automation and secure your competitive edge.
While the initial improvements may seem modest, they compound over time. Just like the printing press revolutionised communication, automation has the power to transform your business.
Calculate Your Savings Potential
Automation not only saves time but also reduces labor costs. By replacing, repurposing, or augmenting your staff, you can optimise your workforce and drive growth in areas that cannot be automated.
To calculate your potential savings:
Determine your current total labor expenditure, including salary, benefits, and taxes.
Consider hidden costs like amenities, office space, training, and more.
Divide these costs by the number of hours worked.
Automation also eliminates time loss due to breaks, errors, and unproductive work. Compare the time it takes for automation to complete a task versus a human, factoring in productivity losses.
Identify operational bottlenecks in your workflows and apply automation to increase productivity and prevent future slowdowns.
Don't forget about opportunity cost. By automating, you can reduce costs, shorten lead times, and eliminate errors, leading to increased profits and customer satisfaction.
Time Efficiency
Automations offer a significant advantage in terms of time efficiency. They operate continuously, 24/7, ensuring tasks are completed with utmost accuracy.
On the other hand, human productivity is subject to limitations. We require regular breaks, sick days, and holidays, which can result in reduced output.
To assess the true benefits of automation, consider the following steps:
Determine the time required for the automation to complete the task.
Calculate the time a human would need to complete the same task, accounting for potential mistakes, breaks, and errors.
Compare the two values to gauge the efficiency gains.
For instance, let's consider a scenario where a team member follows up with customers every quarter to encourage re-orders. This task takes 4 hours to complete, but approximately 20% of this time is wasted due to breaks and other factors causing time loss.
Operational Bottlenecks
Examine your current processes and delineate your workflows in reverse, beginning with the final step. At every phase of this workflow, assess prior performance and pinpoint where delays have transpired or might transpire with business expansion.
By introducing automation at points of congestion, you enhance productivity and diminish the chance of future bottlenecks.
