As many businesses are still recovering from the so-called “Great Resignation”, they’re now facing new challenges. For example, approximately 75% of businesses report experiencing a talent shortage in 2022, which is a 16-year high.

Unfortunately, this can pose many challenges for businesses that can’t automate their processes, but it may be an opportunity for those who can. Using this opportunity to improve upon your daily business processes can directly impact your bottom line, even with minimal skills.

Low-Code Automated Business Solutions

Software developers cost over $110,000 a year on average, so is it really possible to overcome the skilled labor shortage with automated services affordably? Here’s what you can automate with little to no programming skills or experience.

Microservices

The term “microservices” covers a wide variety of tasks. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, microservices are maintainable, testable, loosely coupled to systems, and independently-deployed services called by various systems to rapidly execute complex tasks. These are web services that execute processes in real-time. These are the perfect processes to automate, as they require the least programming with the most time saved.

Forms Automation

Do you spend a lot of time developing forms for clients or customers? Drafting and designing contracts and lengthy forms can take hours. Well, with the right automation tools, you can easily create professional forms with expert form widgets, routing, and custom UI controls. Moreover, FlowWright forms provide electronic signaturesfor digitally signing documents.

Also, you can easily archive your forms using HTML or XML, attach files, and check your revision history on any device. This is a great way to save yourself time and resources reviewing countless documents.

Business Process Management

Need to keep track of your business analytics but don’t have the money to spend on a data analyst? No problem.

With an automated business process manager (BPM), you can catch everything that a professional may miss. This automated tool offers ongoing business activity monitoring to optimize existing automated processes.

Essentially, this will help you improve your new and existing business process automation over time. The goal of BPM software is to ensure your business’s processes are efficient, repeatable, reportable, auditable, and available to you when you need it.

Your business process management solution will test workflows, forms, integration, reports, and dashboards. Upon testing, it will implement and ultimately deploy these systems for you and your clients, with ongoing changes and improvements over time.

Rules Engine

The rules engine is different from the BPM engine, allowing you to customize your user controls.

We said low-code, not no-code. Still, you don’t have to be a professional software developer to implement new rules into your systems. Instead, all you have to do is use the C# format as you would in Microsoft Visual Studio. From there, FlowWright can evaluate and produce your intended expressions.

If you’re unfamiliar with C#, you can easily search the web for c# expressions. FlowWright also provides an expression editor, where you can easily build any kind of expression by just making selections.. Otherwise, you can still edit rules graphically for the same results. Overall, the rules engine will allow you to successfully integrate and manage all of your applications, flush the backlog, and automate away your daily tasks! Rules engine also support creation, maitaing & executing of Decision tables, for large complex rules sets, Decision tables are perfect.

How Much Can You Save?

Believe it or not, you can find every item mentioned above in the one-stop FlowWright platform for your everyday business processes. You can use simple drag-and-drop features to program web-based applications that can automate these processes for you. This includes everything from microservices to online forms for one monthly fee.

Taken individually, these processes require hours of ongoing manual input from skilled workers. With the ongoing talent shortage, it’s likely you would need to pay close to 6-figures for an in-house team or outsource each individual process at a marked-up rate.

Instead, with the right tools at your disposal, you can easily automate away some of your daily business processes with greater efficiency, accuracy, and savings! Overall, this translates to less time wasted, more efficient processes, and fewer errors throughout your business operations.

As a result, many businesses see a return on investment within 3 months of implementation. In large part, this is due to the quick set-up, proof of concept, and training and support for the adoption of these processes. Again, these are low-code, high-value systems.
