Becoming a paperless office is one of the first steps that many businesses take as they seek to modernise and streamline their processes. It can improve profit margins, environmental impacts, and even staff morale! In this blog, the Mark1 team put together some information on becoming paperless, and how it can benefit your business.
What is a Paperless Office?
You do not have to completely eliminate physical documents in order to be considered a paperless office – the term refers to businesses that are making a conscious effort to cut down on the paper that they use. This can involve making guidelines around avoiding unnecessary printing, switching to online systems, and digitising processes. For lengthy operations, like ISO certifications or internal audits, a paperless approach can streamline each stage and make it easier for you to reach your business goals.
The Benefits of Becoming Paperless
At Mark1, we have developed a bespoke Quality Management System called Titan, which embodies all the benefits of a paperless system. Titan can be accessed by authorised users via the cloud, making it perfect for hybrid or remote working. Accessed by one licence fee per company, regardless of the number of users, it is also a fixed monthly cost that can dramatically lower your need to pay for printing. Having so much information on a user-friendly dashboard, rather than having to search through hard copies, is the most efficient way to pursue ISO certification.
How Can Mark1 Help?
The Titan system can be seamlessly integrated into your existing network, ensuring that your desire to become paperless does not result in undue stress or workload. We offer two packages; ISO certification supported by consultancy, in which your access to Titan is supplemented by support from our consultants (including on-site visits and virtual meetings), and internally managed ISO certification, in which virtual support is accessible if required.
