Automating workflows is critical for a number of reasons. For starters, workflow automation improves speed, precision, and efficiency. Organizations often struggle with unifying their internal and external communications, which in turn slows work down and becomes a project of its own. Workflow then becomes largely dependent upon human memory and that’s ultimately when important items fall through the cracks. Workflow automation software clears up mental space to allow employees to focus on non-automated tasks, saves costs via increased productivity and visibility, improves accuracy and communication, reduces redundancies, and improves the final product.
