In our highly connected business environment, it’s increasingly vital for businesses to embrace digital transformation and increase their efficiency if they want to remain competitive. 

This may seem like an insurmountable challenge for organizations that are still bogged down in legacy systems and paper-heavy processes. However, the light at the end of the tunnel is that digitizing and automating your business processes can save you a significant amount of time and money while freeing employees from repetitive, mindless administrative tasks, so they can focus on doing the work they were hired to do. 

Everyday business processes are the lifeblood of all organizations. From approving purchase orders to authorizing travel to on-boarding new hires to processing student applications, these processes define what employees do every day. They might be three simple steps or may be a complicated 10-step workflow with conditional routing but the general principle is the same: deliver information from Point A to Point B with all the required signatures, approvals and authorizations in place.

According to Forrester, business process automation has the potential to reduce operating costs by up to 90 percent.

Paperwork.

It’s the bane of our modern existence. From legal and finance to administration and HR, every aspect of our workplace involves some sort of form-filling, printing, copying, and scanning. We’ve even invented shredders purely to take care of these piles of paper.

And even as new digital solutions enter the market every day, paper usage in the U.S. is expected to increase through 2023.

The problem is that while companies can see the benefit of going digital, they’re often faced with the daunting task of making that transition. 

So it’s easy to stick to what you know. Even if it can save millions of dollars for larger organizations.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Converting business processes to automated digital workflows can be a simple step that produces incremental changes rather than an exhaustive effort requiring you to go through bureaucratic hoops and headaches.   

We’ll give you a step-by-step guide on how.

Data Visualization is incredibly powerful.

Think about a corporate performance report. Connecticut, South Carolina, Minnesota were the Top 3 performs. Wyoming, New Hampshire and New York were the Bottom 3. There were X, Y and Z trends. Revenue and profit grew A% and B% respectively. You could go on and on for pages.

Or, you could show charts like this.

It wouldn’t surprise me if this is the first sentence you read in this article. That’s because the visualization immediately captures our attention. If you’ve automated workflows with frevvo, your data is already digital. Data visualization is the best way to present your data.

Every organization depends on processes to keep things running smoothly — onboarding new hires, approving purchase orders, managing payroll, etc.

But these processes become inefficient when they’re handled manually. Employees waste time figuring out what to do next, and managers have no way to tell where things stand.

Workflows bring structure to business processes and streamline repetitive tasks. Employees can work more productively instead of chasing signatures or hunting down old paperwork.
