How to Reduce Cost of Going Paperless



Mobile data collection forms help to improve the accuracy of data collection process, reduce data-entry errors, and instantly aggregate the data collected. Paperless data collection eliminates the time wasted from using paper forms and streamlines your data collection processes. Data collection automation allows companies to improve productivity of field reps that immediately increases the overall efficiency of an organization.

Unlike traditional paper-based approach that is time consuming and subject to data-entry errors, mobile data collection software provides accurate and efficient data transfer directly from your workforce into your workflow. Due to mobile data collection software all the information from the field is uploaded as it is collected to corporate database, which eliminates the time wasted from using paper forms and streamlines your data collection processes.

Most of the companies opt for SaaS solutions for paperless data collection to avoid the extra costs of server hardware and IT support. Even so there are at least two things to be considered when deciding to go paperless: the cost of software itself and the cost of hardware. Here you’ll find the best ways to reduce costs of going paperless:
  • Opt for a SaaS data collection solution to avoid the extra costs of server and IT support

Besides your office managers using automated data collection system are able to process large amounts of data by pushing a single button. Data collection automation eliminates manual data entry, saving time and lowering the rate of errors, increasing efficiency and revenue.

From new university-level courses to magazine articles and social media posts, daily we encounter new information on artificial intelligence and machine learning. But how can those new technologies be applied to improve retail operations? One of the main ways that machine learning can help retail is when it comes to quantifying data that previously came as individual pieces of information while surveying stores, such as images. Image recognition in retail is one of the best examples of the use of machine learning in merchandising applications.  Machine learning allows images to be fed by programmers into a mobile merchandising system in order to train a neural network to identify product faces on outlet shelves. Then, field staff can simply take pictures of the store shelves on their mobile merchandising apps and the system will be able to identify - with accuracy that reaches 95% - the number of faces of t...
