Waste hours filling out forms with the same data or automate the process with PDFfiller

Sales pipelines, customer satisfaction ratings, financial reports – completing these processes relies almost entirely on accurate data entry. Unfortunately, data entry also happens to be one of the most boring and time-consuming tasks around. Repetitive manual data entry and form filling often results in errors as it demands a high amount of time and focus to finish accurately.

A single error can affect everything. Inaccurate figures for document till fines can lead to excess penalties and civil action lawsuits that your company is liable for. When relying on manual data entry, there is no way to completely eliminate the potential for human error. But this margin of error can be greatly reduced without having to hire intelligent robots.

Is it possible to maintain speed and accuracy at the same time?

By isolating the source responsible for your company’s setbacks, you’ll be able to make a more informed decision when choosing from a variety of ways to avoid errors and enhance the integrity of your company’s data. Common data entry errors include transcription and transposition errors.

• Transcription errors occur when information is input with errors. These types of errors include typos, repetition and deletion. When you type quickly you most likely will not notice any misspelling. These errors are also common in word processing programs that automatically correct words within certain contexts, such as Microsoft Word.
• Transposition Errors occur when information is added in the wrong order and concerns numbers rather than words. For example, instead of typing 123, the user types 132. Again, this is a frequent error for employees who type too quickly to notice mistakes.

Catching these errors before they happen begins by reviewing your employees’ results and training them on the importance of the data they’re working with. Prioritize accuracy over speed and provide a good working environment that promotes better focus. But what if you don’t want to sacrifice hours and days on tedious form filling? Fortunately, there’s a solution that allows you to take steps forward by simply cutting any unnecessary procedures.
