AWAs - Automation, Workflow and Alerts

One way to significantly reduce costs for SME businesses is by:

  • Automating tedious processes, such as weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly recurring sales and purchase invoices and general ledger accounting entries. Another example is automating complex payroll processing with penalties for overtime, early shift starts, meal breaks, and various allowances.
  • Implementing Workflow which controls the process of completing data entry screens and documents. Workflow ensures that tasks get done in the right order and within a set time.
  • Management can improve their productivity by adopting Exception Reporting or better still by being Alerted when things go wrong, such as running out of stock, a blow out of your debtors or even if an important order is not processed within their expectations.

A good referral for Axsapt for AWA is any organisation that is at risk of losing significant money if tasks are not completed correctly or within time or where there are complex and often tedious manual processes.

Thrive not Survive

Australia has joined the rest of the world in slipping into a deep recession. No longer can we feel complacent in riding on the back of China and India's strong demand for Australia's resources as both of these economies are now experiencing severely decreased economic growth.

The natural tendency with economic unrest is to slash costs wherever possible and this is now evident with significant increases in both local and overseas unemployment.

To assist our customers in planning to keep their businesses on track for success, Axsapt have consulted with International Business Coaches: Shirlaws, to host a practical workshop.

The content for the Thrive not Survive presentation will include:
  • How to keep on track towards achieving your business growth vision through an economic down turn
  • What are your growth strategies and when do you apply them?
  • Exploring how to improve the efficiency of your resources to support growth
  • How to understand and manage your business through its entire business life cycle; and why this is important.
  • How to sustain growth in your business and discover the differences between growth in profit, margin and capacity.

The investment for this seminar is only $55 including GST which covers venue hire, drinks and canapes. I urge all Axsapt clients to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity to improve your knowledge during these difficult times.
