What's one of the most tedious, time-consuming, and exhausting but absolutely essential tasks in a company? If manual data entry comes to mind, we’re right there with you.
Especially in Quality Control and Quality Assurance, where extensive lists require completion and double entry, the process becomes even more challenging.
Ultimately, manual data entry poses significant risks and challenges for a company. So, what’s the true cost of relying on it?
Mistakes and More Mistakes
A Quality Assurance employee holds a lengthy paper form, then heads to their computer, opens an equally extensive Excel spreadsheet, and manually re-enters the same data.
How much can go wrong? Quite a lot. More often than you’d expect. Entering all the data without omissions or mistakes is a challenge, and manual entry is a well-known source of costly errors for companies. In fact, mistakes in this process are far more common than you might think.
To put it into perspective, studies estimate that humans can make up to 400 errors per 10,000 data entries, whereas automated data entry reduces errors to just 4.1.
Time Wasted - Reduced productivity
Manual data entry is not only time-consuming but also slows down other processes and equally reduces employee productivity.
During peak periods, valuable time is wasted—time that employees could have spent on more productive and meaningful tasks for the company and their department.
Money Wasted
If a task can be easily automated, yet a company pays an employee to handle it manually, they’re essentially throwing money away.
This is especially true if the process needs to be repeated from scratch due to mistakes or an incorrectly saved file.
As mentioned earlier, these mistakes can lead to significant financial losses for a company each year. Poor-quality data, as you can see, has both direct and indirect consequences.
