€9k Digitalisation Voucher with Herbst Software. How to claim yours?

10.05.2022

The €9k Digitalisation Voucher – will provide strategic intervention for companies to work with third party consultants to develop a digital adaptation plan based on their identified need.

In February 2020 the Irish Government launched a new national digital strategy, Harnessing Digital – The Digital Ireland Framework, to drive and enable the digital transition across the Irish economy and society.

In this blog post we are going to have a look at the meaning and advantages of digitalisation. We will learn how it is intrinsically linked to sustainable production and how Herbst can help your Business avail of theThe €9k Digitalisation Voucher.

So what exactly is digitalisation?

We all know that business is changing faster than ever before largely down to the use of technology which allows us to automate many of the tedious business processes that once took up so much of our time and resources. Digitalisation is simply moving from pen and paper to PC’s, tablets and phones to conduct our everyday business. It is the transition to a paperless workplace but more importantly it allows for much greater communication and automation across your business.

Why is digitalisation so important for businesses? 

To remain competitive, businesses must embrace digitalisation. Digitalisation is not a new concept but it will soon be ubiquitous across many industries and those who do not adapt simply will not survive. Digital transformation offers enhanced data collection, stronger resource management capabilities, consumer insights and trends, increased profits, improved productivity and generally leaner and more sustainable work cultures. The increased collaboration between different business departments allows for a much more harmonious and fruitful work environment which is important in the current job market.

At Herbst Software by digitising processes, we help to manage the flow of information, inventory, manufacturing and finances across our customers’ entire supply chain. This live data reduces ambiguity and ensures full operational control from the management perspective while preventing waste at source. Our single entry system eliminates duplication of data and empowers employees to actively add value at every step of the business process. The beginning of your digitalisation journey with Herbst Software is intrinsically linked to a ‘green and lean’ transition for your company.

How can digitalisation make my business lean and green?

In many ways lean and sustainable methodologies have never been more important. Rising costs and out of control inflation have seen everybody tighten their belts and perhaps reexamine wasteful, redundant practices. Our team of consultants will audit your business practices and procedures. They will then make recommendations for digital solutions that mitigate wasteful, repetitious non-value-adding expenses. Digital cross department communication creates business intelligence, this allows for unparalleled control of your company. At any time you can know the exact state of your company, exactly how much inventory is on hand, the value of the inventory, your exact cash flow, sales by rep accurate to the second, the exact costs of your B.O.M’s, and trend reports available at the click of a button to name but a few. This power allows you to identify both the good and inaccurate practices with ease and adjust your operation at a moment’s notice. When we talk about sustainability, the number one action we can take is not to recycle or reuse but to reduce, Herbst Software gives you the power to reduce waste across your entire organisation while supporting best practice and continuous improvement.
