Digital transformation is also an essential lever for improving process efficiency. By integrating technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence and data analytics, repetitive and time-consuming tasks can be eliminated or optimised — freeing people to focus on work with greater strategic value.
The three levers
Automation
Eliminates or streamlines repetitive, time-consuming tasks so day-to-day work no longer depends on manual routine.
Artificial Intelligence
Takes over work that used to consume your team's day and helps decisions get made faster.
Data Analytics
Puts real-time information in everyone's hands, cutting errors and delays in decision-making.
Digitalisation also makes communication easier and gives everyone access to information in real time, reducing errors and delays in decision-making. Processes become faster and more accurate — and it shows first in the operational routines every business runs on.
Where it shows first
- Stock management
- Customer service
- Production control
73.5%
of surveyed companies point to improved process efficiency as a direct advantage of implementing new technologies.
Perception by company size
The perception of this benefit tends to grow with company size — yet even among companies with under €1 million in revenue, 68.64% recognise it.
The takeaway
Process efficiency is not a big-company privilege. Even the smallest businesses measurably benefit from digitalising their operations — and the earlier you start, the sooner the gains compound.
