Automated administrative management by LANE Digital Consulting
Focus on HR process automation
Automated administrative management of the recruitment process
HR process automation is designed to simplify and optimize application management in recruitment processes. We provide companies with an online and physical application form, enabling candidates to easily apply for job vacancies.
Once the form has been submitted, the candidate and application information is automatically stored in a secure database. Thanks to the use of automation, the application is automatically forwarded to the appropriate manager for processing.
The application management process is then handled by our ATS (Applicant Tracking System) tool. The application is transformed into a task in the tool, enabling the recruitment process to be tracked efficiently and transparently.
This process automation solution enables companies to optimize their application management by reducing le temps time spent on tedious tasks and improving overall productivity. It also offers a better experience for candidates, enabling them to apply easily and track the progress of their application.
Automate administrative processes for taking leave
Automating leave requests is an excellent way of simplifying and speeding up the process of requesting and approving absences. It all starts with the provision of an online or paper form, accessible to all employees. Once the form has been submitted, the request is automatically forwarded to the appropriate manager for review.
Thanks to integration with the company's project management system (PMS), the leave request is transformed into a specific task that the manager can consult. He or she can then review the request, accepting or rejecting it according to the company's needs and staff availability.
To facilitate the procedure and guarantee traceability, an electronic signature can be used to formalize the request and acceptance of leave. In this way, the entire process is paperless and secure.
Finally, once the request has been accepted, the leave is automatically entered into the company's HR calendar, such as Microsoft Outlook or Google Calendar. This makes it easy to manage schedules and ensure that all parties concerned are informed of planned absences. By automating the process of taking leave, companies can manage their employees' absences more efficiently and accurately.
Focus on sales process automation
Automating sales processes: offer generation
Automated sales offer generation is a major asset for companies wishing to optimize their sales process. Following a discovery session with a prospect, several automated actions are put in place to facilitate the follow-up and management of this new opportunity.
First, a folder dedicated to the prospect is created in the company's cloud storage service, such as Google Drive. Next, company and contact information is referenced in the CRM used, such as Hubspot or ActiveCampaign, making it easy to track interactions with the prospect.
At the same time, company and contact details are also added to the accounting tool used, such as Quickbooks or Bexio, enabling seamless integration with the accounting system. Following these steps, a unique offer and customer number are generated automatically.
Depending on the prospect's requirements, a product or service and its price can be automatically added to the offer. The offer can then be edited, exported in PDF format and automatically emailed to the prospect, reducing processing times and improving the efficiency of the sales process.
By automating the generation of sales offers, companies can focus on the essentials: building solid relationships with prospects and customers, while increasing productivity and efficiency.
Automating administrative processes: offer tracking
Automated offer follow-up is a considerable asset for optimizing your prospect management and improving your conversion rate. Thanks to automated follow-up scenarios, created either in MAKEor in the CRM used by your company (Hubspot, ActiveCampaign), you can efficiently manage follow-ups after an offer has been sent.
These scenarios automatically integrate your prospect into a personalized follow-up process, with tailored follow-up messages sent at defined intervals. This personalized approach reinforces the prospect'scommitment and increases the chances of closing a sale.
Automating follow-up and reminders after an offer has been sent has a number of advantages, not least thanks to artificial intelligence:
Time-saving: automating reminders frees up time to concentrate on other important tasks, such as prospecting or retaining existing customers.
Consistent reminders: reminder messages are systematically sent at predefined intervals, ensuring regular, consistent communication with prospects.
Personalization: artificial intelligence enables us to adapt follow-up messages according to previous interactions with the prospect, making each communication more relevant and effective.
Performance analysis: AI can also help to measure the effectiveness of relaunch campaigns and adjust scenarios according to the results obtained.
In short, the automation of offer follow-up, supported by artificial intelligence, offers an optimized and personalized process for managing follow-ups, improving the relationship with prospects and increasing the chances of commercial success.
Automated sales processes after offer validation
Automating the processes following validation of an offer, whether accepted or rejected, enables more efficient management and better follow-up of leads. In the event of an offer rejection, several automated actions can be implemented to optimize lead management and ensure the continuity of the sales process.
Firstly, the lead's status is automatically modified in the CRM and/or PMS, reflecting the prospect's decision. Secondly, the prospect's file is archived in the company's cloud storage service, such as Google Drive, making it easier to retain and access information for possible future interactions.
Invoice archiving in the accounting system is also automated, ensuring rigorous management of financial data and complete traceability. Last but not least, a satisfaction questionnaire can be automatically sent to the prospect after the offer has been rejected. This enables valuable feedback to be gathered for the continuous improvement of offers and sales processes, and possibly to renew contact with the prospect in the future.
In short, automating the steps after offer validation, particularly in the event of rejection, enables better lead management and facilitates sales performance analysis. What's more, it offers the opportunity to continually improve offers and sales processes.
