1. Focus Employees on Innovation

One benefit of automation that’s often overlooked is the ability to free up time for employees to focus on innovation by automating manual, repetitive tasks.

More than 40% of information workers said they spend at least a quarter of their work week on manual, repetitive tasks; 59% say they could save six or more hours a week if those tasks were automated, according to the Smartsheet Automation in the Workplace Report.

Over 75% of respondents said automation will free up time for more interesting, valuable assignments — work they are eager to tackle. Imagine what employees could use those six hours for if low-level tasks were taken off their plates.

2. Reduce Risk

Automation can also lead to greater accountability and fewer errors, improving accuracy and reducing risk for your organization. By automatically capturing information and tracking changes to information, employees eliminate errors caused by data entry, and can even see when information was added or when changes were made and by whom.

3. Make Better Decisions

When information is automatically captured and saved to one place, everyone has easy access to accurate, real-time information. This, in turn, enables employees at any level to make better decisions, faster, and gives your organization unprecedented accuracy and agility.

Once information is entered, captured, or imported into Smartsheet you and your team can automatically pull information into dashboards or portals to surface key metrics and milestones for stakeholders, including executives.

Automated reporting provides accurate, real-time information for executives and other decision makers to make better decisions, faster, without having to worry about outdated slide decks and delayed reporting.

Downstream Effects Drive Business Value

Though the immediate benefits of automation — time and money saved — are significant, these three downstream effects are what drives the real business value of automation: increasing the speed and accuracy of decision-making, reducing risk for your organization, and empowering workers with the time and space they need to innovate.
