If you are stuck doing manual repetitious data entry in your business then you are probably wasting time. Time is your most precious commodity and it’s a crime to be wasting it.
If you have data in your business than you manually collect on paper and then input into spreadsheets or software then there is time to be saved.
An example of this is time sheets. If you are collecting time via manual systems and then someone in your organisation is typing these up then look at systems like Deputy or timely which give your employee and app to enter this time for you.
If you run a shop and have an old fashioned till and you manually enter the days taking into a spreadsheet or software package you are missing a trick check out Vend or Kounta.
If you sell on line and have to manually deal with sales through this then you are wasting effort check out Shopify.
