71 days. That's how much time your business wastes every year on admin tasks that shouldn't exist.
While you're manually processing invoices and chasing approvals, your competitors are using that same time to win new customers and develop better products. The maths is simple: 1,704 hours of admin per year equals £35,600 down the drain.
But most business owners shrug and say "admin is just part of business." Wrong. Admin exists because your processes are broken.
Why Your Current Admin Processes Are Bleeding Money
Take a typical purchase order approval. Your team creates the order, prints it, walks it to a manager, waits for sign-off, files a copy, emails the supplier, then manually updates three different spreadsheets to track it.
Six people touched that document. None of them added any value. All of them cost you money.
The brutal truth: Your manual processes aren't keeping you organised – they're keeping you poor.
Smart Businesses Automate Admin Out of Existence
Companies that actually understand efficiency don't just speed up their admin. They eliminate it entirely.
Modern Sage 200 software doesn't just store your data – it makes decisions for you:
Purchase orders generate automatically when stock hits reorder levels. Invoices match and approve themselves when everything lines up. Exception reports flag the 5% that actually need human attention.
Result? Your team spends time solving real problems instead of shuffling digital paperwork.
Three Admin Killers That Actually Work
Intelligent Document Capture Scan an invoice, and the system extracts every data point, matches it to purchase orders, and routes it for approval. No typing. No filing. No human error.
Mobile Approval Workflows Your finance director approves expenses from the golf course. Your operations manager signs off deliveries from site visits. Approvals happen in real-time, wherever people actually work.
Predictive Process Management The system learns your patterns. Regular suppliers get fast-tracked. Unusual transactions get flagged. Your Sage 200 support infrastructure becomes smarter every month.
Where Most Admin Automation Goes Wrong
Mistake 1: Digitising Broken Processes If your manual process is rubbish, automating it just gives you digital rubbish. Fix the workflow first, then automate it.
Mistake 2: Bolt-On Solutions Adding seventeen different apps to "solve" admin creates seventeen new admin headaches. Integration matters more than features.
Mistake 3: Set-and-Forget Mentality Your business changes. Your processes must evolve. Our System Care approach ensures your automation keeps pace with your growth.
Real-World Admin Elimination
Distribution Company: Reduced order processing from 45 minutes to 3 minutes per order. Eliminated two full-time admin roles while doubling order volume.
Manufacturing Business: Cut invoice processing time by 85%. Finance team now focuses on cash flow forecasting instead of data entry drudgery.
Professional Services Firm: Eliminated expense report backlogs entirely. Expense approvals happen same-day, every day, without exception.
