Findex: gain back a day a week by digitising your business systems and processes

Whether it’s accounting, payroll, scheduling, timesheets, job management, payment collection or business reporting, it’s more important than ever for your business to have digital systems and processes that talk to each other. 

If you’re faced with increasing pressure to meet deadlines, manage teams and maintain business cash flow, read on for advice from Findex about how digitising your systems and processes can help you run a streamlined and compliant business. This spotlight blog also covers what you need to consider when selecting digital systems for your business. 

What are the benefits of digitising your business? 

Digitised systems require your business data to be stored in the cloud. This gives business owners access to their information at any time and on any device and means the data is secure from any physical damage and able to be integrated with other systems. Other benefits of implementing a digital system in your business are: - Profitability reports by job to help you track against budget. - Mobile time tracking of staff so paper job cards are no longer required. - Digital scheduling of staff so no job gets missed. - Quoting through to invoicing all in one place. - All systems talk to each other which helps avoid double-entry of information. - Health & Safety compliance to reduce the risk of non-compliance. 

What to consider when choosing digital solutions for your business ?

With a huge array of digital solutions available, one of the biggest blockers for a business owner is knowing where to start. It’s important to base your purchase decision on more than price and consider: - Your business requirements. - The functionality of the software. - How much time that piece of software can save you. - How easy it is for you to use. - What support is in place for you and your team.
