March 26, 2024
Workflow automation refers to the process of automating the steps or tasks involved in a particular workflow or business process. This typically involves managing and executing repetitive or manual tasks automatically, thus improving efficiency, reducing errors, and saving time. It is a flow of tasks, documents, and information for all daily business activities so the teams or individuals can operate their jobs more visible and practically, following the rules of the business. This can range from simple tasks such as email notifications and data entry to more complex processes like invoice processing and customer onboarding.
Workflow automation has several benefits for operations, and we will discuss these benefits in this blog. You can improve your operations thanks to the workflow process, let's see how we will do this:
The benefits of workflow automation are usually listed as 11 items:
First, researches show us that workflow automation increases work efficiency and productivity, accountability for tasks, and job satisfaction. Many times, each team member is working on one project, but they have different tasks. In this case, workflow automation prevents duplicate tasks and fosters accountability by assigning a project lead to monitor progress. Each worker knows exactly what they will do during their working hours, and that avoids manual task’s time consuming. Also, manual tasks spend employees' time while they are re-doing some work for error-fixing. We can avoid this also, thanks to workflow automation.
Besides, the cost-saving effect of workflow automation will not be immediate; it can take some time. However, it will directly impact your business, your customers, and your employees by implementing the most effective workflows for your tasks. This will lead to a decrease in onboarding time and shorter processes. Consequently, the organization can improve its productivity and efficiency, resulting in enhanced employee and customer experiences and increased revenue.
Workflow automation will also improve the team's collaboration and communication with customers and within themselves because it is based on planned communication basically. By standardizing processes and providing visibility into workflow status, automated workflows enable teams to work more cohesively and efficiently. With automation, each team can seamlessly collaborate and coordinate their efforts, leading to faster campaign execution and better results.

To give an example; since the Indefinite Term Employment Contracts you have signed with your employees are managed with paper documents, they both take time by bringing operational burden and cause financial expenses. You want a bunch of personal information and documents from the employee and use this information in the contract. You enter them into the contract manually and print it to sign mutually. If you are hiring a remote worker, it is more likely to send it via email or standard cargo delivery. They should sign it and ship it back. And finally, you archive it in your physical folders. In such an overwhelming process, while the paper, toner, printing, scanning, delivery, and then archiving processes required to obtain a signature cause costs, they also prevent you from focusing on other tasks. In Inspakt, you can collect employment information and documents with just a single form, and with the information you collect, your indefinite-term employment contracts are automatically and digitally created and sent to the parties for signatures.
