Why Centralized Systems Make Your Team More Efficient

February 21, 2018 by Mark Donais


Constantly misplacing documents, losing track of schedules and being disorganized seems to become an everyday routine. However, there is a way to solve this problem with centralized software systems. A centralized system is a database that is stored located and operated in only one location. This means that everything such as your schedule, messaging systems, documents and much more are kept all in one place. Not only can this be beneficial to you as an individual, this can also be beneficial to 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 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 never missed. Everyone involved within the team will be up to date on the latest tasks and news. This way, all emails, texts 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 is 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 what their co-worker’s schedules are 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 fair decision can be made.

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