Going digital – the benefits to you

Some of the many benefits of the digital pen & paper process include:

• Suitable for broad range of data capture situations
  
  
  • Text, numbers, drawings, diagrams and graphics – anything you can write, the pen can capture
  • Data capture in all physical situations - indoors, outdoors, remote or central, good light or bad
  • Can capture data for most business functions – sales, quality control, purchasing, finance, distribution and marketing, but particularly auditing, medical care records and questionnaires.
    
• Quantifiable savings
  Clients have demonstrated financial benefits including staff cost reductions, time savings, increased productivity and improved customer service.
  
  Processes can also be automated that would usually be cost-prohibitive.
  
• Instantaneous reporting
  Data can be manipulated to provide business reporting mechanisms for all business functions, including sales, quality control, purchasing, finance, distribution and marketing and can do so within moments of the original data being uploaded.
  
• Delivers accountability, ownership & benchmarking
  Each pen is assigned to a user and automatically records the time and date of each form completion.  This allows monitoring and assessment of the full business process.
• Data can generate onward departmental efficiencies
  It is usual for one department to enquire about the digital pen & paper process to enhance their own operation.  Longhand Data’s experience is that often when a project is delivered for one department, it leads to data collection for other areas of the business and inter-departmental operations can benefit in terms of a full automation process including efficiency, communication and forecasting.
