I think a lot of print-on-demand leaders see workflow automation as solely about efficiency and cost savings, but the reality is that committing to workflow automation takes you much further than that. Beyond making you more efficient and profitable, there are five key benefits that come from a successful workflow automation implementation. They are, firstly, agility. Automation gives you the superfast ability to change and adapt, which means you can quickly pivot in response to a regime breakdown, operational challenges, and so on. Second, resilience. When machines break down, stock doesn’t arrive or staff are absent. Automation allows you to switch to different workflows seamlessly, ensuring uninterrupted operations. Thirdly, team information sharing and culture change. Automation embeds the ability to share information throughout your organization, fostering a culture of transparency and continuous improvement. Next, knowledge building. Workflow automation collects all operational data, making it readily available, and this wealth of information builds a level of knowledge that was previously not able to be attained. And lastly, enhanced decision-making. With all that data at your fingertips, precise decision-making is capable. You gain insights and form decisions that take your business down a lot more profitable pathways. So if you’re considering workflow automation, remember it’s not all about efficiency, there’s a lot more to be gained. And if you’d like to see practical examples and case studies, reach out, we’d love to talk with you about it.
