Help your customers digitise for the future and cut costs
As the lives of office workers begin to return to a new kind of normality, businesses across the world are reflecting on the tools they have at their disposal to help work efficiently and smarter and wondering how to improve them. For small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), the new SP series scanners – SP-1120N, SP-1125N and SP1130N – are the perfect fit; they are designed specifically for organisations which have been trying to function remotely with a lot of paper-based workflows, and now have realised the necessities and benefits of digitalisation, and, importantly require a solution that is both cost-effective and easy to roll-out.
WHAT IS AN SME? SMEs are non-subsidiary, independent businesses which employ less than 250 people, with an annual turnover of under £40m – and they represent around 99% of all organisations across the European Union. In fact, 96% of businesses in the UK are classed as micro-businesses, with less than 10 employees. It’s vitally important to work closely with them, and one thing they’re especially keen on is tools which boost efficiency without breaking the bank, since their budgets are limited.
THE ADMIN CHALLENGE Another thing that’s limited is time. According to Sage data, 120 working days are spent on administrative tasks every year by the average SME, which amounts to five per cent of its total capacity being lost. “Small businesses simply cannot afford to spend an average of 120 working days a year on manual, administrative drudgery,” says Rob Douglas, vice president at Adaptive Insights. “Not solving this means companies will struggle to know their current situation, let alone plan for the future.”
Repetitive admin tasks represent a drain on business and productivity, and it can cost £35,600 every year – the equivalent of the cost of one full-time employee. The problem is, 40% of SMEs don’t know how to solve this problem – which is where Fujitsu’s SP Series comes in. The time spent performing admin tasks can be slashed dramatically through digitalisation of paper-based data and spent on more growth driving activity. Digital transformation represents 25% in operational savings, and digitalisation enables automation, faster processes and more efficient workflows. Offer your customers the benefits that digital processes can bring:
Paper-based processes that can be improved enormously through digitalisation include:
• HR
• Staff handbooks
• Talent acquisition
• Training documents.
• Compliance
• Legal documents
• VAT registrations
• Accounting
• Invoicing
• Bookkeeping
Paper-based workflows can cause a productivity loss of 21.3%, and the disadvantages of these workflows are numerous: Join Fujitsu’s Imaging Channel Program and gain access to a wealth paper makes human error more possible, it takes up more of sales enablement tools to help you understand and position the space, it’s slower to transfer data, slower to transport, less secure and it slows down digital transformation. A dedicated scanner, such as one of the SP Series machines, ensures efficient document scanning, a consistent output quality, increased automation and a far better use of space. Less admin equals more productivity, organisations become more connected, and the potential of paper-based information is unlocked through a solid scanning process.
