What the heck is automation?

Starting a business is tough – you have this amazing idea to create a business based on what you do best. But what you may not have considered is just how much time you spend with administration.

Things such as remembering to follow up on those all important leads, or keeping track of your costings or your projects.

These are all things that are crucial when it comes to running a business and we are here to tell you that a lot of this can be done using automation or integration of the systems that you use!

Stebbington Limited have been helping businesses reduce their admin time by finding the right automation solution for YOUR business.

So first things first… What exactly IS automation for your business?

This is a question we get asked a lot! Lots of people have heard of automation, but there is some confusion as to how it can help your business

So, imagine you have this magical genie, but instead of granting wishes, it helps you with your everyday tasks. That’s automation for you! It’s like having a super-smart robot buddy that can handle all the boring, repetitive stuff you don’t want to do.

You know those times when you’re sitting at your computer, replying to tons of emails, and you wish you could just snap your fingers and have them answered? Well, automation can do just that! It’s all about using clever technology, software, or machines to take care of those mundane tasks for you.

But automation isn’t just about being lazy and having robots do everything for us. It’s also about being super-efficient. For example, small business owners have to wear so many different hats to just get their business up and running. You have to be the finance director, the marketing manager, the customer support team etc.. By utilising automation, you can cut down on a lot of those boring tasks in those departments because your laptop can do the work and you can get on and do what you do best, and what you started your business to do!

An example for you..

For example, one of Stebbington’s previous clients?used to take anything up to 5 hours onboarding clients as they had to play a lot of email ping pong, and rely on things being printed, signed and scanned… Once Stebbington got their mits on the business, we automated so much that this was cut down to a mere ten minutes per client… This meant our client had the capacity to go out and get three more clients for that time she saved.

But what about the Terminator..?

Sure, some folks might worry about robots taking over the world and stealing all the jobs, but don’t fret! Automation can actually create new opportunities and free us up to focus on more creative and meaningful tasks.

So, in a nutshell, automation is like having a helpful, tech-savvy sidekick that makes your life easier, boosts productivity, and lets you shine at what you do best! It’s the future, my friend, and it’s looking pretty bright! ????
