There have been reports over the past few years of how
technological advances will result in some jobs becoming extinct and things
such as robots will take over tasks that are normally undertaken by
humans. And an extension of this could
be that some businesses could be facing threats if the services that they
provide can be delivered by some type of technology.
While I believe that this may be true to a certain extent, I
also believe that businesses who keep their finger on the pulse with advances
in technology in their industry will be better situated to maintain and grow
their business as opposed to businesses who do not keep up with technological
advances. This is in line with a quote I
read recently saying “technology won’t replace businesses but businesses who
use technology will probably replace businesses that do not”.
I have recently been working with a client implementing the
use of Deputy Software in their business.
This is employee rostering management software that is cloud based and
has replaced a manual rostering process and employee database. I was delighted to hear recently that after
using Deputy for a couple of months the savings in e
fficiencies as well as
staff hours far outweighs the investment in using the Deputy software.
So business owners should ask themselves the question – is
it worth investing a few dollars in new technology where the potential is that
I could save two, three or maybe ten times as much in costs or make my business
significantly more efficient and attractive to potential new customers.
Further to this, software such as Deputy also directly feeds
into Xero which in this case can streamline the payroll process for your
business potentially saving yourself or your team a significant amount of time
and stress!
So I would suggest that business owners have a look at Xero
and their add on partners to see if any of the software available there could
be used in your business.
