What if you could add 45 minutes to every workday? That’s almost four hours per week to cross off more of your to-do list items. Over a month, it adds up to 15 hours. So what would you do with that ‘extra’ time?
We’re often so bogged down in daily tasks that we don’t think much about how we do things…or even why. The obvious benefit in automating routine tasks is that you free up time to focus on more value-add initiatives. Another (perhaps even more important) benefit is that ‘the way it’s always been done’ isn’t locked in someone’s head. Too often, manual processes fall apart when the person responsible for them is no longer around.
Challenging status quo – a case study
The folks at Sexton Group, a Winnipeg-based buying group, recognized that they needed an ERP solution to eliminate manual, paper-based administrative tasks. “Previously, we had separate systems to manage our accounting and vendor/member relationships, which meant that data had to be entered twice and all of our administrative tasks were manual,” explained Krista Venn, Accounting Manager at Sexton. “We searched for years for buying group specific ERP software. Finally, Zantek tailored a solution for us and expertly managed integration with LBMX, to give us one system with everything we need.”
The result? Sexton gained 45 minutes per day on one task. And monthly invoicing and reporting tasks, which previously took hours to complete, were reduced to mere minutes. Learn more…
