Document workflow automation and management
With an ethos like ‘print less do more’ we can’t help but notice all the ways in which the world is moving this idea forward. Beyond a business setting, we’re all benefiting from digital documents. Think about when you shop, fly, bank, use your mobile phone – in each case the amount of paper you interact with is being proactively reduced by your chosen service provider. Though what you see is less paper, your information is also shared and secured in more seamless ways, and this is what we mean by workflow automation and management.
Online check-in and specialist baggage label print kiosks have reduced queues for passengers, while also saving the airline excess staff and overhead costs.
Our mission is to continue to translate this level of innovation and process improvement in business settings. Though it’s great that investment in such improvements is aimed at customers first, your internal team’s workload and overall happiness can be greatly improved through the automation of outdated paper processes.
There are so many paper-based departmental processes that we can rethink. And finance is an area full of great examples. Around 15-40% of payable invoices in the UK are now sent via email, which is a small step forward from traditional mail-sent invoices, however, there’s so much more that can be done. The next stage would be to reduce how many of these invoices are printed for signing to none. E-signature software combined with specialist document workflow software can sort and store invoices to enable an end-to-end digital accounts payable process.
