In any given day, you and your staff are answering the phones, providing quotes on jobs, taking orders and receiving requests via e-mail and the web. You also need to set up invoices, perform data entry, update files, make copies for walk-ins, make sure orders are being processed in a timely manner and all the while keep your clients informed of their order progress — or any issues with their order. Organizing files along with an array of practical and technical challenges are all part of a typical business day for most printers, ad agencies, design studios, etc.
Does this sound like your ‘status quo’?
As a business, you may have the basic structure in place for all kinds of electronic communications and file submissions, but without a system to manage the flow of files, errors and oversights are high. Without an effective way to manage all the incoming and outgoing communications that are necessary to maintain and grow your business, you can find yourself having to deal with confusion, inefficiencies and inconsistencies between customers and your employees rather than planning your growth strategies.
If you’re thinking “Maybe our company is not ready for business process automation yet”, remember the amount of time that is spent by you or your staff manually dealing with countless questions, approval requests, issues with files and “What do I do here?” emails. Today’s businesses must simultaneously deal with a wider range of competition, reduce their costs and develop new services and products. This is impossible without some form of automation.
So what can you do to improve your internal staff and external customer communications?
Finding the time to accomplish all the required tasks in a day is always a problem for businesses. With automated communications, you’ll not only handle more jobs, but you’ll be able to provide faster service and more timely responses. The result? Improved customer satisfaction, reduced customer and staff confusion and lower overall costs.
