Services | Business process improvement
A business process is any collection of linked tasks that together achieve something (anything) within your business.
For example, to give a quote to a potential customer you may have to do several different tasks. These task might be: measure up, estimate quantities, look up the cost of materials and then write the actual quotation. These are all linked tasks that achieve one thing—a quote being sent.
Your business relies on dozens of interconnected processes. These business processes include everything from on-boarding a new customer, service delivery, billing and even debt collection.
We know that for each of these processes you'll have a unique way of working. But are you getting the results you want? Are your team bogged down with mundane tasks? Are deadlines being missed?
Our business process consultants will identify all the different tasks that your team do everyday. We'll then help you to eliminate any tasks that are slowing down the process, and that are not creating value.
It's surprising how complicated processes can get when they evolve over the years; little tasks get added here or there, and before you know it, you're running a bureaucracy.
We can help you cut through this, and concentrate on getting work done in the most efficient and effective way.
Our process improvement specialists can support you to streamline your "back-office"—your business management tasks.
We'll speed up your quoting, invoicing, billing and scheduling jobs… and any other processes that are holding you back.
After thoroughly reviewing your business, if that's what you need, our consultants can find you the best software to improve the way you work: fitting your exact situation and budget.
If you have a hodgepodge of different systems that are slowing you down, we will advise you how to link your business systems to each other, to save you time.
Joining up your apps and systems will save you time finding information and updating multiple systems, allowing you and your team to concentrate on more meaningful tasks.
Having efficient business processes will save you time and money. But will also make for a more pleasant working environment.
If you work efficiently, you'll get more done in the same amount of time, or less. Obviously.
Efficient processes leave you with more free time.
An efficient business needs less of your time, leaving you free to do other things. You could work on other business projects or spend more time with your family and friends.
Relax knowing that your business will run smoothly and consistently.
Chaos is stressful.
Processes that run smoothly are less stressful to operate and more predictable. Errors are less likely, and it is easier to plan ahead for busy times.
By eliminating inefficiency, you can promote a better work-life balance for your team.
Efficient business processes will reduce the pressure on your team. Less pressure means less stress and a calmer working environment.
Reducing wasted effort and mundane busywork, will help provide fulfilling work to your team, improve morale and help you retain key staff.
By improving business processes, the business as whole benefits. Efficient business processes save time and money, improving your results and profitability.
With optimised business processes you can provide a consistent, high-quality service to your customers.
Efficient businesses make more money. They also sell for more money. By improving your business processes you are investing in the value of the business.
