SMART WORKFLOWS

THE NEW NORMAL REQUIRES SMARTER WAYS TO WORK.

Business requirements are changing rapidly resulting in the transformation of business processes. As such, organizations are moving toward broader workflow automation across all business operations with the advent of IT and IT-enabled services and products.

Workflow Automation helps speed up processes, improve communication between different systems, and operational efficiencies.

The key is to optimize processes by replacing manual tasks with software that executes all or part of a process. Smart workflows for the Finance function would include integrating processes like Payroll, HRMS, CRM, Sales, Inventory, and Logistics with accounting and finance modules using AI, digitization and eliminating manual intervention.
