10 Everyday business tasks you can automate for immediate impact

Running a business means juggling countless tasks, responsibilities, and the constant pressure to perform and ensure the success of digital transformation strategies.
But let’s be honest—some of those tasks are repetitive and time-consuming, sometimes distracting you from attending to matters of higher value or matters that just drain your energy that could have been automated.
Now, imagine having the right tools to handle those tedious tasks for you.
That’s where automation comes in. By using automation technologies like AI and low-code platforms, you can streamline processes, reduce manual work, and improve overall productivity.
Here are 10 business tasks you can automate today to make an immediate impact:
- Sales and CRM Automation: Organise customer interactions, track sales activities, and automate follow-ups to drive conversions.
- Marketing Campaign Automation: Segment your audience, schedule posts, and track campaign performance automatically for more effective marketing.
- Employee Onboarding: Simplify new hire paperwork, training, and mentor pairing so employees can hit the ground running from day one.
- HR Processes: Automate payroll, performance reviews, and employee record management, allowing HR teams to focus on strategy rather than paperwork.
- Customer Service Ticket Management: Improve response times and customer satisfaction with automated ticket routing and resolution tracking.
- Purchase Order Management: Automate order generation and tracking to speed up approvals and improve inventory control.
- Accounting and Bookkeeping: Take the hassle out of invoicing, payroll, and bank reconciliations by automating these processes—reducing errors and ensuring compliance.
- Inventory Management: Monitor stock levels in real-time and optimise demand forecasting to prevent overstocking or shortages.
- Data Entry and Management: Reduce errors and ensure data accuracy with automated data collection and integration tools.
- Supply Chain Order Processing: Streamline order fulfilment and supplier collaboration to eliminate bottlenecks and keep operations running smoothly.
AI and Low-Code: The Perfect Automation Pairing
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how businesses operate, making automation smarter, faster, and more efficient.
Some of the most impactful AI advancements include:
- Generative AI: Perfect for automating report writing, content creation, and even product design, freeing up valuable time for your team.
- Automated Workflows: Combining AI and workflows with decision logic into your processes and activities, handling repetitive tasks, customer inquiries, and data analysis, and making workflows smoother across departments.
- AI Agents: These digital assistants are automation agents. They go further than automated workflows in that they do not have predefined inputs and excel at figuring out how to solve a task, learning from past task completions, and making your workflows smart.
When combined with low-code platforms and expert developers, AI becomes even more powerful.
Low-code allows businesses to integrate AI-driven solutions quickly, while skilled developers ensure that automation solutions are robust, scalable, and customised to meet unique business needs.
Let technology take care of the rest so that you can focus on growth and innovation.
