What Workflow Solutions Can Do For Your Business

By Marjorie Vargas


It takes very carefully planning and management to keep a business running and turning in a profit. Part of planning includes putting up systems that can be used to monitor daily operations, keep and preserve data and manage staff. One company offers complete business management solutions. Workflow Solutions does system integration, installation and supply of both hardware and software systems. The company also does domain hosting, web design and setting up of work group servers. All this is done with software that the company customizes to meet the particular needs of a business.

One of the challenges that business managers and owners face is monitoring the business and the workers. Yet it is necessary to keep a keen eye on everyday business operations so that daily goals and then long term targets can be attained. Workflow Solutions creates solutions to meet these needs.

One function of the software is keeping track of business activity and operations in real time. In premises with different sale and payment points such as a store or bank, a supervisor or manager can keep track of the activity that is going on throughout the premises using the software.

With the customized software this company develops, detecting gaps such as theft is very easy. For instance, the software will detect differences between transactions that have been keyed into a computer and documents like receipts that are generated for the same transaction. If a receipt is generated that reflects an amount less than the amount that has been keyed in for a transaction, the software will detect it and sound an alert. Such a situation can be resolved immediately.

Software is customized to suit the needs of a business. If a business only wants simple reports of all transactions, it will be customized to produce these. If detailed reports of every transaction are needed, these can be produced too. All this will be done unobtrusively. It will also be possible to generate reports that can be reviewed and acted on right away to minimize losses and risks to a business.

Business managers and owners sometimes do not have the real picture about how the business is performing. It may actually be doing well and performing very well but reports like the sales reports and cash flow statements may not be giving the true picture. This may be due to staff that are performing well or that are deliberately distorting the numbers.

In a store, the problem may be a less than honest cashier who lets things go past the sales machine without charging to get themselves or others free items. Again, this is something that would be captured before the items left the store. The same is true in a situation where an employee is distorting figures in stores when they are receiving or dispatching orders.

Some business managers and owners who have used Workflow Solutions report that things have come to their knowledge that they never would have been able to find out. They have found out what was leaking their revenue, dealt with it and seen the business grow and thrive from there.
