Why Centralized Systems Make Your Team More Efficient

February 21, 2018 by Mark Donais

Centralized Systems Make Teams More Effective

Constantly misplacing documents, losing track of schedules, and being disorganized seem to be often an everyday routine. However, there is a way to mitigate this problem with centralized software systems. A centralized system uses a commercial database that is stored, located, and operated from one location. This means that everything such as your schedule, messaging systems, documents, tasks, support tickets, and much more are easily accessible from one system. Not only is this beneficial to you as an individual, but it also boosts the productivity of your work team, and here’s why.

Everyone Is On The Same Page

Emails constantly being sent back and forth can become very disorganized. They pile up quickly and some of the important, crucial emails can get lost in a heap of junk mail. However, with a centralized system, notifications are seldom missed. Everyone involved within the team will be up to date on the latest tasks and support ticket updates. This way, all emails, textual updates, and documents sent back and forth between you and your team will remain within the system and can be easily located. Therefore, by using a centralized system, the line of communication between you and your team members will be stronger than ever.

Efficient Scheduling

Managing your employee’s schedules can be a difficult task, especially when a shift is unexpectedly cancelled. As a manager, you need to step in, take charge and find another employee to cover that shift. Without a centralized system, this task can become difficult due to the multiple emails flying between you and your employees, determining who can work and changing the schedule. On the other hand, with a centralized system, you can create more complex schedules that are simple for you to create and for your employees to follow. Employees can also see their co-worker’s schedules and assignments so they know who they’re working with.

Increased Productivity

When using a non-centralized system, locating document after document and email after email can be extremely time-consuming. For example, an employee has a task due at the end of their shift. To their surprise, they have misplaced some documents that are crucial to said task. The employee will keep searching until they have found the item they’ve been looking for. As a result of searching for these items, an employee will have wasted precious time that could have been spent on their assignment. Instead, with a centralized system, documents are neatly stored in organized folders that can be easily found by searching for titles or keywords. Having a centralized system ensures employees can focus more on the task at hand, rather than locating items, therefore, increasing productivity.

Reduced Conflict

When only a few higher-ranking people in a company are in charge of making decisions for the larger group, not everyone will agree with the decisions being made. Employees can get upset and if the disagreement further continues it will eventually lead to conflict. To avoid this, a centralized system makes it easier to communicate with all your employees and receive their thoughts and recommendations on changes or ideas within a company. Everyone’s ideas can be stored in one place and a rational decision can be made.

In the end, centralized systems are key to having an efficient team. They ensure everyone is on the same page, increase productivity, and reduce conflict within the workplace. Centralized systems can help keep your team stay organized and on track.
