Being “automation ready” isn’t necessarily a quick win.

 Many businesses were putting it off again and again because of the perceived challenge to implement automation software. 

 agree that once automation was thought to take years, can now take a matter of weeks. That’s because the tech behind automation has grown so rapidly in the past 10 years.

For logistics and manufacturing, these advancements in technology means it's now far easier to implement automation. For example, automating shipping lists in the order fulfilment process has a huge benefit for manufacturers and logistics personnel. Hours that were previously spent manually filling in data to a spreadsheet can now be done by a bot.

Use automation to help smooth the supply chain

Process automation can help orchestrate and coordinate process ecosystems to ensure that everything in the supply chain is running smoothly. Logistics teams can outsource tedious manual work to a bot in order to have more time for important core tasks. This will help ease pressure on teams and minimize loss of ROI from shipping list errors or delays in list despatch.

The added benefit of using a process ecosystem platform like FireStart is the process orchestration. Even as orders grow in volume and the process becomes more complex, FireStart will always be robust enough to create order, helping the logistics department to stay on top of orders.
