FlowForma explains how construction process automation can help<\/h2>\n<p>Administrative methods are, too often, outdated, relying on Excel spreadsheets, paper-based processes, and long email chains. This adds time, cost, and not to mention frustration to all projects. For construction companies to stay competitive, administrative processes require an overhaul towards construction process automation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aboutBlogPost\">\n<p>Process automation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction\/construction-technology-news\/sullivan-engineering-saving-time-with-flowforma-process-automation\/114470\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">speeds up manual and repetitive administrative tasks<\/a> such as onboarding site workers, site visit requests, and permission to dig requests. Collectively, these administrative processes take up around 6,000 hours every year. Over a period of ten years, that\u2019s 60,000 hours \u2013 the equivalent of nearly 7 years!<\/p>\n<p>With so much time (and money) at stake, construction companies must adapt quickly. Today, let\u2019s look at how process automation in construction can help fast-track admin processes, reducing the volume of repetitive tasks your staff face and helping your business to achieve a better ROI.<\/p>\n<h3>Process automation saves time for HR managers<\/h3>\n<p>HR management is one of the most admin-heavy jobs in construction. High employee turnover is a real issue for HR Managers, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/featured\/morgan-construction-onboarding-employees-with-flowforma-process-automation\/115234\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">onboarding site workers<\/a> can be a time-consuming process.<\/p>\n<p>If the methods for onboarding are outdated, this process can get in the way of more important tasks. Administration processes like performance appraisals and recruitment are also time-sapping when performed using manual methods.<\/p>\n<p>Automating these processes saves time for HR departments. It removes the confusing trail of administration \u2013 long email chains or paper-based forms \u2013 and replaces it with a more streamlined system.<\/p>\n<p>One where every step in the onboarding process takes place. The process automation platform prompts users at every stage in the onboarding process, ensuring that important steps don\u2019t get missed and giving HR Managers back their time.<\/p>\n<h3>Saving time on administrative processes<\/h3>\n<p>In construction, the back office follows you on-site, with administrative processes required at every stage of a project. Site Managers get stuck in long email chains if they want to request materials or rely on paper-based forms for signatures.<\/p>\n<p>This can lead to a confusing audit trail, with information misinterpreted, the wrong materials ordered, and persons involved in the process having to retrace their steps (and figure out what went wrong). This is all a massive time suck in a role that relies on making the most of every minute.<\/p>\n<p>Using process automation in construction, on-site workers like Site Managers can spend less time on their administrative tasks and instead focus on more important work. The best process automation solutions, can be used anytime, anywhere, with, for example, digital forms for timesheets or procurement of materials, available on a desktop or mobile device.<\/p>\n<p>The automated forms follow a step-by-step method of data capture, ensuring that information (i.e. a material request) is recorded accurately. This leads to better communication between teams, a clear audit trail, and reduces time spent on a project.<\/p>\n<h3>Process automation delivers fast ROI<\/h3>\n<p>The construction industry still relies too heavily on outdated administrative processes. Paper-based forms and lengthy email chains slow down construction projects and create delays (and overheads as a result).<\/p>\n<p>Construction companies must reset their administrative methods in order to stay competitive. Embrace the latest technology in construction, with process automation, and see a fast ROI.<\/p>\n<h3>FlowForma makes it easy for construction companies to digitise at scale<\/h3>\n<p>A key obstacle to digitisation for construction companies is a lack of resources. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/digital-construction\/construction-technology-news\/five-facts-about-digital-process-automation-technology-you-need-to-know\/115352\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Implementing a company-wide digital strategy<\/a> requires both time and money, and under-funded IT teams have neither.
