Notes are great. They give you a feeling of both planning and control. However, every note-taker knows that such a "paper economy" can quickly turn into chaos.
Notes can be a stumbling block, especially in the world of work. This is because often only the note writers have an understanding of the layout, can decode abbreviations or interpret their own handwriting. However, if, for example, the employee in question is absent and the required information is buried deep in the mountain of notes, it simply takes too much time to find it. In the case of customer or even order data, this leads to embarrassing phone calls and - well - a lot of extra time. Not exactly efficient. Under time pressure, an unnecessary stress factor that harbours dangerous error traps for everyone involved. The "6" quickly looks like a "0" and the order form contains the wrong number. If "1600" turns into "1000" in production, that's more than just a minor faux pas.
Dispersed? ERP!
As pleasant as it may be to quickly scribble down important information, get used to it. There are numerous integrated solutions here ERP systemswhich create a suitable interface for every item in the company, where every piece of information can be stored quickly and easily in the system. Prefabricated masks also make it easier to search for important information. Authorised users can also access the relevant information that another employee has entered into the system at any time. Tasks can be assigned a status and called up in real time. This means that one or two manual steps can also be automated, which quickly compensates for the (apparent) delay caused by opening the system and the individual screens. In this way, the notes become what they should be again: Your very own personal assistant.
