New season, time to raise your game?

We come across lots of organisations who are still heavily reliant on aspects of manual process to fulfil key parts of their business outputs. There are many different reasons behind this but for the majority, it’s a case of the manual systems feeling too complex to do any other way. Often, it’s a case of bringing in experts to look at how things are currently working and allowing them to help you to come up with a tech solution. We’ve built tailormade technology for a wide range of organisations to automate such processes, allowing things to run more smoothly and simply. The benefits include the freeing up of manual resource, thus allowing diversion of focus and energy to other areas.

Are their processes in your organisation which are run manually? How long do they take to complete? What impact does this manual aspect have on the rest of the business? Is it holding back the opportunity to information share and transcend one step into another such as stock systems or build a better picture of your customers? Are your manual processes holding back your business from growth?

SME’s have so many things to manage, it’s easy to miss out joining communications together to maximise their strength. Are you clear on the overall key messages for your business? Do you have a segmented approach to targeting different audiences B2B or B2C? Do your communications look joined up through the line? Does your communication and design look and feel reflect how you behave with your customers? These are part of the key ingredients to building a strong brand and optimising the clarity of the business benefits that you want to convey to your existing and future customers.

Websites by their nature are outward facing, but they can also work brilliantly for your internal systems. The COVID-19 pandemic sent us all working from home and many organisations used this time to develop intranets to support their people during this time. Since then, many of us have evolved our businesses to a hybrid model making intranets more useful than ever. Does your business have an intranet? Do you operate a hybrid model of working? If you don’t have one, would you benefit from an intranet to allow your people to access important internal documents, share information with colleagues and undertake business functions such as room booking, ordering catering, booking holiday, courses and accessing learning development materials and more? Intranets can drive efficiency from the office and at home and ensure that everyone keeps up to date with the latest news and information about your organisation and has the opportunity to self-manage key aspects of work.

If you are frustrated with the manual processes that exist in your business, or you can see the positive impact an intranet would have or your communications are out of kilter, we could help.
