"Last month I sat with the operations manager of a 40-person London firm and watched her spend an entire morning copying order data from one spreadsheet into another. She'd done this every Friday for two years. Nobody had questioned it because that's just how we do things. UK workers waste 11.3 billion hours a year on administrative tasks like emailing, scheduling, and data entry, according to research from Dropbox."
"The average small business owner spends 16 hours a week on admin. That's two full working days lost to tasks like updating spreadsheets, re-keying information between systems, and formatting reports that could generate themselves. Do the maths on what that costs. If a 35,000-a-year employee spends even five hours a week on repetitive data entry, that's roughly 4,500 a year in salary alone before you factor in the errors that creep in when someone's manually typing the same figures into three different places."
An operations manager repeatedly spent entire mornings copying order data between spreadsheets each week. UK workers waste 11.3 billion hours annually on administrative tasks such as emailing, scheduling, and data entry. Small business owners average 16 hours per week on admin, losing two working days to updating spreadsheets, re-keying information, and formatting reports. A £35,000 employee spending five hours weekly on repetitive entry costs roughly £4,500 yearly in salary alone. Manual data-entry errors collectively cost UK businesses £37.3 billion annually. Connecting systems to automate data flow and using live dashboards reduces wasted time, errors, and delayed decisions.
