As print and promo distributors, we know how complex any given order can be; efficiency is the key to maximizing profits. One way to achieve this is through no-code process automation. How can you leverage technology without a team of developers? The answer lies in no-code platforms like Zapier.
What is No-Code?
No-code platforms allow users to create applications and automate processes without writing a single line of code. These platforms use visual interfaces with drag-and-drop functionalities, making technology accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical skills.
You likely use no-code platforms today. Popular apps like Squarespace, Webflow, Formstack, MailChimp and others all fall within the no-code space. They help non-developers do things like create websites, complex webforms, and email flows without the need for code. Similarly, no-code workflow applications like Zapier, Make, and Zoho Flow democratize the power of business process automation (BPA) by making the development of automated workflows as easy as designing a flowchart.
Understanding Business Process Automation (BPA)
Business Process Automation (BPA) involves using technology to perform repetitive tasks or processes in a business where manual effort can be replaced. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of human error, ensuring consistent results every time. BPA can be applied to various functions such as marketing, sales, customer service, and operations.
