Automated Business Processes
Many companies are shifting towards paperless recording of data, via on internal IT systems or on-demand cloud-based CRM applications, in order to speed up business processes and integrate more efficiently with business applications. Those that haven’t, and want to, will initially have to look at and document how their business operates - how discrete tasks are handled and processes completed. Doing so will allow them to identify where efficiencies can be made, avoid unnecessary work-flow duplication and excise redundant steps.
Automating Business Processes is all about speeding up tasks which previously were repetitive, mundane, manually intensive and time-consuming. Understanding the work-flow of a business helps define which business processes are suitable for automation, those tasks that must be completed in a standardised sequence and/or are inter-dependent - for example: a web request that queries stock, alternative items, applies discounts, calculates shipping time, takes payment, schedules delivery, updates transportation itineraries and sends warehouse stock level alerts.
