Going paperless is a burgeoning trend in offices throughout the world. 

Going paperless offers a number of advantages, from cost and time-saving, to improving processes and customer service. 

Here are a few of the top reasons why we believe going paperless with Engin will improve your business... 

You will immediately start saving


One of the greatest advantages of a paperless office is its cost effectiveness. Although a single sheet of paper seems cheap, your paper costs will add up quickly. The average office worker uses over 10,000 pieces of paper per year. In addition, maintaining paper records requires additional expenses, including storage space and even additional employees.In a paperless office, the documents that you create don't cost any more than the electricity that you used to produce them.

You won't lose documents
Even with the most organized of filing systems, it is still easy for paper documents to get mixed up, lost or even accidentally destroyed. A paperless office won't have this problem, especially if using a system such as Engin, where documents are always available, accessible, and retrievable. 

You can better serve your customers
When you are serving a customer, it helps to be able to access data relevant to your conversation. Even if you have the information you need in a paper office, chances are that a customer won't want to wait around for you to dig up a file every time they have a question or objection. The instant accessibility of digital documents gives you a huge advantage in these situations.

Your entire office will be more efficient
The management of physical documents wastes a lot of time. Every single time an employee takes the time to file a document, search for a piece of paper or destroy a physical record, he or she is wasting time. Each instance will waste anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. One of the biggest advantages of using Engin is that all of these tasks can be completed in only a few seconds with the click of a button.

You will save space
As you create new paper documents, you start to wonder where it will all go. As the paper starts piling up, your office will start to feel smaller and more cluttered. You completely avoid this in a paperless office, because all of your data is stored online.

Your company will instantly become greener
Going green is a mandate both to help the environment and to make your company more attractive to customers. When you stop using paper in the office, your business becomes exponentially greener, because the deforestation required to produce paper is a top contributor to carbon emissions and environmental destruction. Going paperless will improve your image and profile from a client and public perception. 

Your data will be more secure
Stealing paper data is as easy as bending over and picking it up. Even paper records kept under lock and key are easy to steal for anyone with a desire to access them. Paperless records aren't so easy to get into once you secure them. Having your data safely secured on Engin will ensure only relevant staff members will have access to documents. Using Engin’s permissions set up will allow you to have total control over all your data, and can allow you to grant or deny specific employee’s from accessing specific data entries with ease.
