What is Workflow Automation?
Workflow automation replaces manual and paper based processes with digital solutions. It ensures the right people have the correct information in a timely manner regarding what to do and how to do it. Bottom line, workflow tools create consistency. This consistency can apply to any area of business, from customer service to how a form is completed or even how decisions are made.
What is Workflow Automation To BP Logix?
What is workflow automation to us? We here at BP Logix think of it a little more simply; we see it as a competitive advantage in the ever-changing marketplace. It allows employees to focus on work rather than processes, which leads to employees spending less time on repetitive work and more time on the things that matter.
4 Key Benefits of Workflow Automation
- Reduce Redundancies and Errors - Workflow automation allows consistent procedures and processes to be followed by everyone. Consider, for example, an online form with fill-in boxes. Whether customer, vendor, or employee, he/she understands the process and completes it, without a third party. This frees up time and reduces errors by offering a single data entry point that is easy to use.
- Improve Efficiencies - Applications and single source of data can reduce the amount of time it takes to locate information, communicate across broad channels, or even notify staff of global changes. Collaboration is easier as staff, vendors, and even customers have access to the needed information to take action.
- Reduce Costs - Automating workflow processes can include taking costly paper processes and making them digital. This lowers the cost of printing and paper, while also streamlining data entry, if needed. Electronic forms and applications can be used to collect and compile data for analysis.
- Improve Management - Real time information and analytics allows for better management. See if a sequenced task isn’t likely to complete on time, effecting the end product. Become aware of key indicators quickly for optimal performance and intervention, if needed. Awareness leads to faster innovation, and solid workflow processes create more agility for business.
What Will BP Logix Workflow Automation Solutions Solve?
Our workflow automation software, Process Director, has been used by a variety of companies looking for the benefits of BPM solutions. It is a workflow solution for the following problems:
Too Much Paperwork?
Legal documents, HR forms, and even sales invoices can be streamlined with Process Director. Process Director’s document management software reduces the amount of paperwork by digitizing it which can lead to tremendous cost savings in both printing and labor costs (ink, machine maintenance, filing, copying, scanning, etc.).
Too Many Tasks Falling Through The Cracks?
Forms that need review and approval by multiple departments can be slowed down by inefficiency practices. Electronic forms and centralized communication and storage can allow all users to see, approve and even be notified when certain tasks complete, or fail to complete.
Too Much Redundancy?
Field technicians filling out multi-copy forms only to have admins enter into one system, billing into another, and marketing into yet another? Process Director can bridge the gap between programs, and create more efficient workflows to better manage business processes.
