10 Key Benefits of Going Paperless with Mobile Forms
Paper is slowing your business down and costing you money. Switching to a mobile forms and data collection software can lead to greater business growth, employee productivity and retention, as well as improving the bottom line.
But how much is paper actually costing you? Industry research firm Gartner, Inc., estimates that as much as 3% of a company’s revenue is spent on paper, printing, filing and the costs to store and maintain files of information. In addition, the average office worker uses 10,000 sheets of paper a year.
Save Time by Going Digital
Not only does paper lead to higher operating costs, but it also results in a loss of productivity. Paperwork needs to be processed once it has been completed. For organizations with employees who work remotely or in the field, this means the paperwork these employees complete has to get back to the office from another location.
Field employees waste time looking for a fax machine or scanner to send in documents, or need to wait until they have access to a computer at a later time. Waiting for forms to be delivered or emailed to the office before the data and information they contain can be used is inefficient and slows things down. Once employees in the office finally have the paperwork, it still needs to be filed correctly, entered into a database, or sent along to a manager or supervisor.
A system that puts data into your organization’s hands faster will result in saved time, improved employee productivity and reduced costs. Using digital system limits manual data entry errors, while also reducing the time it takes collected data to reach core office databases, systems, and stakeholders.
Improve Productivity with Mobile Technology
Sharing and collaboration are easier when paper is removed from business processes. Storing paperwork and files in a Cloud database lets you access them from anywhere, so even if you aren’t in the office, you can get the information you need.
When employees use mobile technology in conjunction with the Cloud, they then have access to the work files, emails, and information wherever they are. They don’t have to be limited because they aren’t in the office, which saves time and boosts productivity.
This type of mobile data collection process also eliminates delays in completing necessary paperwork and getting it sent to the right person, making workflows and reporting faster.
