Using Alerts and Workflow Automation in Your Business

You can make complicated business processes easier by using workflow automation. When a user action or signal is triggered, automated workflows can act to move data according to your instructions. You are essentially letting automation do the work for you, so you can concentrate on other things. The right workflow automation software will help to streamline your business so that repetitive and manual tasks are massively reduced. Laborious tasks can really grate on employees too so automating their processes will improve morale in the workplace. Some tasks they used to spend hours doing they will be able to do in just a few clicks. The majority of workflow automation software does not require a lot of technical knowledge and experience. They are generally quite visual and the actual work processes may largely stay the same, just digitalised. You can benefit from drag, drop and form functions making this type of software a great fit for most businesses. Many providers also offer customisations so you can tailor the software to perfectly fit your business. You can also set up alerts for various tasks. The technology uses rule-based logic to automate alerts. This could be alerts to yourself or alerts to clients. Customers of Husky can set up numerous alerts, such as: *When a vehicle check is completed and there has been damage report sent, send an alert to X email address* You can customise the body of text on your email alert to say whatever you wish. This will send immediately to you once it has been saved so you can instantly see that damage has occurred on a vehicle.

How Easy is it to Move Over From Your Existing Processes?

If you are still a paper based company, Husky will keep your workflow to be the same as it is now, only digitalised. That’s if you wanted to keep your current processes. The other option is to alter your current processes as you make them digital. It would be up to you. Either way we can deliver on both. The platform we build for you will be easy to use and it will streamline your workflow so manual tasks will be made simpler and quicker. Meaning you can spend more time focusing on other areas of the business. To ease the moving over process we will train you up on your software platform so you will be fully able to operate and within a month of using it, you will be experts! If you already use software to run your business, the move over may be slightly easier as you will already be used to operating in this way. Again we will work with you to nail down your requirements and present this in a functional streamlined platform.   How Difficult Will The Change Be For Your Staff? Office staff and field staff will enjoy using the software because of it’s top notch user experience. You do not need to be technical at all to operate the system. Particularly for field staff, the mobile version can be picked up very quickly. We know their main role is to carry out the agreed work so we have made sure that the data collection side of their job is simple. Some businesses can be apprehensive when changing how their company works. Staff can be set in their ways and prefer to stick to what they know. However without evolution you may get left behind. Husky helps your business to evolve with the fast moving digital world so you can continue taking big strides forward.

How Does Husky AI Take Payments?

Our Monthly Subscription At Husky AI, we don’t believe in tying customers into long-term contracts. That is why our software is offered as a monthly subscription to be paid via direct debit. In this way, you only pay for the software when you want to use it. This demonstrates the strong belief we have in Husky AI and our confidence that you will want to continuously benefit from the solutions.   Cancel Anytime! Like any monthly subscription, if you decide to stop using the software, simply let us know and we will deactivate your account upon completion of your final month of subscription. If you just want to pause your system, then a small fee may be required to keep your data hosted, until you return.   Add and Remove Users with Ease A key feature of Husky AI is that you can add or remove users each month, meaning you can flexibly change your monthly subscription package as your business changes in size. If we took payment annually, you wouldn’t be able to do this. If you would like to learn more about our monthly subscriptions, please visit our pricing page.

Why Choose Husky?

AI can transform the way you work for the better. Existing processes will be streamlined meaning you will spend less time doing manual work, and more time growing the business through sales and marketing. Rather than being a replacement for human intelligence, AI is generally seen as a supporting tool. This clever software will work for you in the background and present actions to the human user.   Who Do We Work With? Husky can adapt to various industries. Landscaping, Grounds Maintenance, Air Conditioning, Commercial Cleaning, basically any business that requires staff in the field (see our diverse range of customer case studies here). There are many layers to the platform and you can use as much or as little of it as you like. A large proportion of our customers were running their businesses on paper, before they switched to Husky. When we ask why, the overwhelming response is that they have always used paper, they know that it isn’t the most efficient, but it’s what they know. Many of them have grown to be very successful using paper based processes, which makes you think, what could they achieve with automation? With more streamlined processes? As technology is developing, more and more companies are using software and AI, including your competitors. So, ask yourself the question: will we be left behind, if we don’t adapt and change.   What Separates Us From Them? There are plenty of off-the-shelf software packages around. Maybe you’ve have had some demonstrations and thought they were good, but perhaps they were too limited and structured, and wouldn’t fit your business needs. This is where Husky is different. Husky is a bespoke software platform. It has an underlying back end structure with a flexible front end to provide the ability to adapt to your requirements. You can keep your existing paper based processes and Husky will digitalize them. Keeping everything in one place. Instead of trawling through thousands of sheets of paper, you can find what you need with the click of a button! We don’t just hand you the software and say that’s it, we continue to work with you as you grow and transform as a business and we are able to adapt your software along the way!

You can request a demo by clicking here and one of our sales team will get in contact. Alternatively, you can also phone us directly on 01257 440343. On this initial call, we will seek to understand how your business works and find out exactly what you require from a platform.   Step 2: Demo If we believe we can help and you are interested in our services, the next step is for you to have a demonstration of the software. Our demonstrations usually last around one hour via an online meeting and we cover aspects of the whole platform, including Leads > Quotes > Jobs > Invoices and show you how your build could look. It’s a great chance for you to see the system performance and user experience.   Step 3: Quoting A common question asked during the demonstration is ‘how much will it all cost?’. The answer is that it varies. Given that this is a bespoke product that can be moulded around your existing processes, it ultimately depends on how you currently work and how long it will take us to digitalise those processes. After speaking to you initially and finding out more about your business, we will be able to give an estimated figure, which we know customers want to hear before they go any further. The actual quote is determined by a Document Request. Which we send out after a demonstration. In basic terms, this is just us asking you to send examples of your existing Quotes, Job Forms, Invoices and Lead forms so we can provide an accurate quote of the work, excluding any new forms. Furthermore, our monthly subscription costs are calculated based on the number of office users and mobile/operative users you require. Therefore, we will need to know these numbers for your quote. Our subscription costs are fixed and you can find them on our pricing page here. Once we have reviewed all of your documents and user numbers, we will then send over a proposal. Our proposals are all hosted so we send over a link where you can review the proposal online and sign off when you are ready to do so.   Step 4: Quote Accepted and Work Starts Once we have received acceptance of the proposal, we begin the work and start building your bespoke platform.   Final Thoughts We hope this article has been able to shed some light on our signing up process.
