Paper-based processes put your business at risk and also have significant costs associated. A digital process is the solution to these business challenges.
If your company has 50 employees then chances are, you’re wasting around 500,000 pieces of paper. This could easily be replaced by a Smart Inspection Platform or CMMS (and other digital platforms) that optimize your business process and ensure better compliance.
When you take into consideration that the average office worker uses roughly 10,000 pieces of paper in a calendar year, it's clear to see the environmental impact it creates.
Due to the fact that one tree produces about 10,000 sheets of paper, you can save a whole tree, per office worker, by making the switch to digital platforms.
Additionally, a large percentage of paper is wasted in the printing process.
A study conducted by Lexmark found that an average of 17% of printed pages were considered waste. This means that 1700 printed out pages for a single employee are considered waste every year! Knowing that paper costs anywhere from half a cent or less per page to two cents for regular paper, this means that a single user wastes about $8.50 – $34 per year.
Let’s break down the statistics on the use of paper:
Drive your business forward with a Smart Inspection Platform (SIP)
So, what can be done about these staggering statistics? Your business can adopt digital technology to reverse all of the lost time, wasted space, reduce your risk and allow your employees to use their time on more valuable tasks.
Why, in 2021, do we as a workforce feel that paper is necessary?
The amount of time wasted by staff looking for paper documents in filing cabinets quickly adds up to an astounding figure. Mckinsey reported that an employee spends 1.8 hours every day searching and gathering information. That means not only are you losing money on the hard cost of paper, but you are also losing man hours that could be more valuable in other areas of your business.
A Smart Inspection Platform or CMMS can find that information for you with a few clicks of your mouse - saving you time and money.
We asked one of our clients how switching to AssetPool from paper has affected their business and they had this to say:
“AssetPool truly does save us time and money. If it was not for AssetPool, one of our biggest clients would have had to shut down their Platinum mine due to an incident. However, with a couple of clicks, AssetPool saved the day providing all the necessary compliance reports.”
When you need the documents that prove you were maintaining equipment properly AssetPool helps you find them quickly.
There is no longer the need for searching through piles of paper to find that one specific document. All of your asset’s history is stored in the cloud and cannot be lost. We have many satisfied customers who find that AssetPool has given them the reassurance that their assets are not at risk of failure.
