Digital Automation: Safeguarding Your Business
Once upon a digital era, companies across the US and Europe yawned when Microsoft announced it was shutting down Internet Explorer on June 16, 2022.
But over in Japan, this news caused chaos for government agencies and big organizations who hadn’t yet prepared for this browser’s retirement party.
Why?
Because diving into the world of upgrading operations, digital transformation, or digital process automation feels like a massive, scary adventure that many companies only dare to tackle when it’s absolutely necessary.
Unfortunately, this can hurt businesses trying to keep up in our fast-paced, digital wonderland.
Digital automation for promotional products and custom sportswear
Enter the custom and promotional industry, where we at Brikl know a thing or two! Our Global VP of Sales, Dan Vermont, notes that before joining forces with Brikl, companies would cobble together multiple legacy platforms, attempting to create a stable foundation for their businesses. But those dark ages are over, thanks to Brikl!
However, some businesses still hesitate to hop on the digital transformation train. Let’s shine a light on some of these industry-wide challenges:
🚀Long Store Setup Times
Imagine spending 25 hours a week setting up team stores, company stores, fundraising stores, or pop-up stores. That’s a lot of precious time that could be spent selling, strategizing, and scaling!
📊Reporting
Many businesses struggle to take an insight-led approach to the market and create custom-made reports that suit their needs.
🎨Embellishing and Decorating Designs
Designers spend heaps of time embellishing products one by one, using mainstream design software that doesn’t cater to their niche challenges.
📦Order Management
Orders and feedback often arrive via email and spreadsheets, turning organization into an administrative nightmare.
🔐User Access and Permission Settings
In the e-commerce world, personalization is king, but so is security. It’s important to keep your store as relevant as possible while ensuring only authorized folks can manage it.
