There are hundreds of ways for small businesses to cut expenses, but many of them are unpleasant or just unpopular. Before you banish your Friday morning donuts and coffee run, consider the cost savings you could achieve by switching to electronic document management.
Need more room in the office?
You're growing, and that's a good thing. Before you throw cash at a construction project or move your operations to a higher rent district, think about getting rid of your paper filing systems. By implementing paperless document management, you can capture and digitize incoming documents and route them to storage repositories, workflows, or individuals. Make it a habit to immediately capture and convert paper documents instead of copying and filing them in your office.
Need more employees?
Growth also means there's never enough time to get through daily tasks. You could hire new staff, but if your current employees spend a lot of time managing paper documents, there may be a better way. A document management system can capture and extract data from incoming documents, converting everything to digital formats. Instead of inefficiently moving paper from one department or employee to the next, you can automate your processes using a document management system.
Need a way to allow employees to work from home?
Mobility and e-commerce have leveled the playing field for SMBs, allowing you to expand your reach beyond the home office. A document management system saves time and money by letting some or all of your staff to work remotely. You'll save on the costs incurred with on-site employees, and they'll still be able to capture and edit documents, access information, and collaborate on projects using your document management system.
