Quick wins for your business?
moe: Welcome to the world of automation. This is also how many underdogs manage to grab a slice from the "big players". You'd be surprised how many large companies that could easily afford to optimize their processes just don't do it.You find dedicated people (or even departments) doing nothing but strictly repetitive tasks. Things like filing invoices, keeping a stock of parts according to a set of rules or even, like you said, aggregating always the same information and mailing it in always the same format to the execs.In every company that I have worked so far there were quite a few people who could have literally been replaced by the proverbial shell-script.Doing so (when appropiate) always gives you an edge because you'll be faster and less prone to errors in that area than the meatbag-driven competitor - plus you free up ressources for more interesting tasks.
