Nowadays, companies rely on fast and accurate data processing in order to adapt to the rapidly-changing environment. While some businesses remain in their traditional procedures, automation services are becoming widespread and readily available to help them manage costs, time, and workforce effectively. With automation, organizations can recognize the profitable opportunities that await them while reducing repetitive low-value tasks and increasing efficiency and productivity. If you are seeking to stay agile in the fast-paced climate, then you have come to the right place. This article aims to help you further understand why automation is the way to go for your business moving forward.
Automation
As defined by the International Society of Automation (ISA), automation is the creation and application of technology to monitor and control the production and delivery of products and services; it enables processes to occur automatically. This means that the human intervention to accomplish a specific task is reduced to a minimum, if not none and that human errors are eliminated along with the method. Without a doubt, modern technologies have influenced every aspect of our environment. The rise of automation in the industry has made a great impact that is scalable and seamlessly compatible with day-to-day transactions.
What does this mean for businesses and how is it relevant?
The right allocation of resources leads to increased productivity while lowering expenditures. Transforming your operational procedures will open up the following opportunities for your company:
According to a study shared by NEOLedge, over 53% of employees work more effectively when a simple yet powerful automated documentation system is in place. An electronic document management system provides users with easy access to workflows and processes from anywhere at any time. Life is easier when everything is updated automatically in real-time.
With the use of multiple advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI, machine learning (ML), and robotic process automation (RPA) to name a few, automation can create an intelligent rule-based ecosystem that can self-maintain - eliminate the probability of human errors. It is important to ensure that the upgrade you acquire for your business is also providing effective feedback to everyone’s advantage.
While it is a good sign that your company’s customers and business transactions are growing, this mirrors the need for additional workers to hold the fort in managing the additional workload. However, automation can use knowledge input from human intelligence, use various business structures, and analyze big amounts of data faster all at once. This accomplishes more tasks versus spending more on manpower to cover your day-to-day workload.
Take the freight forwarding industry for example. The challenge of any freight forwarding company is speed and time to be able to deliver more efficiently to its clients. However, before any delivery proceeds, some document processing is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the shipment’s details. With an automated system for tasks like document processing, dependency on manual labor can be reduced - or even eliminated.
This is where auto mate comes into play. auto mate is an intuitive tool to help you get started on the automation process you specifically need for your freight forwarding business. It integrates specific tasks like auto registration, AP Invoice Posting, ISF Filing, and Customs Line Entry into your CargoWise One system. auto mate allows you to become more agile by producing more accurate and error-free outputs in less time and less cost.
In our example, regardless of the manpower’s work schedule to go through these documents, auto mate will be able to help freight forwarders to work on their behalf.
The use of technology may seem daunting to business owners. However, this is even a perfect time to consider investing in an automation bot like auto mate.
