If you’re trying to run sites with fewer team members, then keep reading for tips on how to use tech to do more with less.

5 ways digital checklists can help you do more with less

  • Communicate change rapidly. Live tasks mean Head Office can communicate changes in policy to teams on the ground in minutes. Everyone knows exactly what needs to be done, how and when to do it.
  • Training built in. Digital checklists guide teams through their day, step by step. Videos and guides can be attached to tasks so you know new processes are being followed correctly.
  • Improve remote visibility. Notifications and daily reports highlight issues as they happen. Area managers can see what’s happening in their sites, wherever they are, resolving issues quickly with less site visits.
  • Focus teams on work that matters. Automate repetitive data entry to give teams more time to focus on customer experience to boost your bottom line.
  • Flag problems. Digital checklists allow you to comment, highlight problems and resolve them directly on the task. Attach photos for all the evidence you need, all in one place.
