If you run a small or medium-sized business, you know that time is your most valuable resource. Many businesses waste hours every week on repetitive tasks that could easily be automated.
Here are five processes you can start automating today:
1. Email Data Entry
The Problem: Your team receives emails with requests, orders, or information that needs to be manually copied into a system.
The Solution: Set up automation to extract information from emails and automatically insert it into your CRM, spreadsheet, or database.
Result: Save 5-10 hours per week and eliminate transcription errors.
2. Customer Follow-up
The Problem: You forget to follow up on sent proposals or need to remind customers about pending payments.
The Solution: Create automated flows that send follow-up emails based on specific triggers (proposal sent X days ago, overdue payment, etc.).
Result: Improve conversion rates and reduce overdue payments.
3. Weekly Reports
The Problem: Someone spends hours every week compiling data from various systems to create reports.
The Solution: Automate data collection and report generation. Reports are created automatically and sent via email.
Result: Save 3-5 hours per week and ensure consistent reports.
4. Document Management
The Problem: Documents need to be manually organized, renamed, and filed in specific folders.
The Solution: Set up automatic rules to organize documents based on type, date, client, or other criteria.
Result: Find documents instantly and keep everything organized.
5. Updates Between Systems
The Problem: When something changes in one system, you have to manually update other systems.
The Solution: Integrate your systems so data is automatically synchronized.
Result: Eliminate duplicate data entry and ensure consistency.
