Running a small business is a whirlwind. You juggle a million tasks, wear countless hats. Small businesses are constantly seeking ways to enhance productivity, reduce operational costs, and stay competitive. One powerful tool that has emerged to address these needs to boost efficiency is workflow automation. Workflow automation for small businesses involves using technology to automate manual tasks.

Among the various solutions available to achieve this, Xerox Workflow Central stands out as a comprehensive, powerful, and affordable platform that can transform the way small businesses operate. By shifting focus away from repetitive, manual tasks, small businesses can unlock their full potential and focus on what really matters: growing their business. Let’s delve into how Xerox Workflow Central empowers small businesses with powerful workflow automation capabilities.

Before we get into how Xerox Workflow Central can be a game-changer for small businesses looking to integrate workflow automation, let’s quickly touch on why workflow automation is important for small businesses:

• Boosts Efficiency: Repetitive tasks and document challenges can be automated, saving you and your team significant time.

Here’s a closer look at what you can do with Xerox Workflow Central:

Do you have an everyday task that you wish you could automate? Repetitive, manual tasks are at the core of inefficient document workflows and hindering productivity. The Workflow Automation Tool within Xerox Workflow Central makes workflow automation for small business easy and streamlined, allowing you to create, customize, and automate your own workflows.

You might be thinking… “Well, how exactly does that work?” or “Yeah, sounds great but it also sounds complicated.”

The Workflow Automation tool within the Workflow Central Platform is actually very easy to use. In just a few simple steps, you can have your own automated workflow running in the background within seconds. It’s simply based on a “if-this-then-that” conditional formatting approach – i.e., “if this” file is sent to me “then that” automation happens.

For example:

Translate: You receive a monthly marketing report from your Spain office that needs to be translated to English for your team members. “If” your overseas office emails you “this” monthly marketing report in Spanish, “then” translate “that” email attachment into English.

Protect: Confidential files from your team project need to be restricted to certain people and shouldn’t be shared. “If” your colleague uploads “this” new file to the folder, “then” restrict and track viewers for “that” file.

Summarize: You receive daily business reports that are several pages long. However, you’ll be out on vacation for the next two weeks and want to reduce your catch-up time upon return. “If” you are emailed “this” weekly business report “then” summarize “that” report for the next two weeks.

Really, in just a few simple steps, you can start to automate all your mundane, repetitive tasks! Here’s how:

1. Select the input source: Choose either the receiving email address or cloud folder that will be monitored.

2. Set the conditions to check for new files: Input conditions to monitor for the incoming email or file dropping into a cloud folder, such as matching the sender’s email address or an email subject that contains certain words.

3. Select your workflow: Select your workflow (such as Protect, Translate, Redact, or Summarize) and choose your actions.

4. Select your output: Select the file type of you want your document processed as and the destination.

5. Give your workflow a name: Name your workflow, choose a default or custom icon, set it as active and you’re done!
