Traditionally most of the improvement investments of value chains in manufacturing industry have been done at the factory floor. Manufacturing processes have been highly automated and methods improved continuously. At the same time, office processes have often been almost forgotten.
Your supplier might have the best available robotised technology to produce your components efficiently. Meanwhile you are still struggling with trying to manage claims with them by email, typing the information that supplier has sent to you manually in your internal systems or desperately trying to find the supplier’s material certificates that your customer is asking for.
Today, a lot of time is wasted in business relations, for instance, in searching information, creating reports, waiting someone to send you some critical information, typing the same information multiple times manually to different systems of different companies. There is a huge potential to improve the white-collar productivity of a value chain by reducing manual work and ensuring that the needed information is easily available whenever and wherever.

And by the way, this type of work is usually much more pleasant for employees than manual routine work.
