With changing times and the onset of digital practices, it was only a matter of time before paper-based and manual processes were set to be eradicated. Not only are these processes complex and time-taking, but due to the scope of human error, the desired result is often compromised. Not to mention the grunt-work, limited control, lack of visibility, and redundancy involved. These limitations were enhanced in the case of workflows, as each step requires its own set of information and approvals. If there is a roadblock at any step, it hinders the completion of the entire process.

The change came in the form of workflow automation, which allowed for the replacement of manual processes with digital tools. By doing away with most human interventions in the process, workflow automation ensures that a company does not lose its valuable resources in the process.

In fact, 60% of the current occupations can have 30% or more of their activities automated, according to McKinsey. The benefits of workflow automation are plenty, and the most crucial ones are listed below:

• Increased Productivity: As automated workflows save a ton of time and effort, team members are allowed to focus on productive tasks instead of getting caught up in a mechanical series of steps. Another side benefit, upgradation of tasks leads to better employee morale which in turn leads to a better work culture!
  By automating their workflows using Quixy, Navayuga Infotech was able to greatly boost employee productivity by 20%, and the satisfaction improved by an impressive 40%.
• Reduced Costs: Redundant tasks not only take time, but they require additional money too. A study by Unit4 states that repetitive tasks cost $5 trillion a year globally. Hence, a variety of precious resources are saved by the adoption of workflow automation and by the elimination of repetitive tasks.
• Reduced Errors: While to err is to human is natural, these errors might cost quite a lot to organizations. Thankfully, automated applications don’t make any mistakes or blunders that a worker is bound to do. Reduction of administrative errors leads to increased effectiveness of workflows and gives a push to the success of any organization.
• Rich and Insightful Data Collection: Workflow automation completely revolutionizes the way data is captured. Reports with graphic aids and actionable insights allow organizations to understand bottlenecks and to allocate resources accordingly. This leads to an enhancement in key performance metrics as timely and useful action is taken based on these reports.
• Effective Task Management and Multitasking: As it has been implied, workflow automation greatly enhances the quality and speed of various processes. In addition to that, it also makes it super easy to onboard multiple employees or manage numerous IT tasks as neatly organized and streamlined processes also increase the potential of multitasking.
