Are you slowly disappearing under a mountain of paperwork?
Do you have ambitions to make your environment more ‘paperless’?
Are you still looking for ways to improve your manual processes?

Everywhere we look today, we see that paper copies – whether it’s your bank statement, electricity bill, or whatever – are fast becoming a thing of the past.

So why should your workplace environment be any different? Although the completely paperless office is still probably beyond our grasp, it is certainly possible to take steps to minimize the volume of paper used and to gain many advantages from using an electronic equivalent. Logbook offers a means of replacing those inefficient paper systems that you still have. It provides a safe, secure repository for all kinds of data that would traditionally be kept on paper.

Paper has a number of disadvantages – it goes missing; it can only be in one place at a time; it’s only available to one person at a time; it has to be stored safely; it can be difficult to retrieve; it’s difficult to search for particular data; it’s difficult to gather data from several sources. A modern software tool such as Logbook has none of these disadvantages, and has many more advantages.

Over the next few years, leading organisations will come to embrace Logbook’s electronic notebook technology as a key platform for the improvement of productivity.

Logbook provides an easy-to-use interface designed to replace traditional paper notebooks, forms and a lot more besides. While Logbook can be cost justified by the elimination of costly paper systems for day to day record keeping, this technology offers many other benefits. There are benefits to be gained from using Logbook not only in terms of information sharing throughout your organisation, but also by promoting group collaboration.

There are working environments where paper which may be contaminated with allergens, dirt and germs can jeopardise the ‘clean’ environment. Logbook’s electronic data carries no such risk.

Logbook can significantly increase productivity, save paper, simplify archiving – plus, it allows more efficient use of your valuable personnel. Managers and Team Leaders will benefit from Logbook's functionality by underpinning your specialised workflow and regulatory requirements. Logbook also offers exceptionally flexible reporting, data export and publishing. It also offers useful search capabilities within, or across Chapters, by keywords, dates etc.

Logbook maintains a full audit trail, retaining a complete time-stamped copy of the data recorded. You can further increase your efficiency by the use of Logbook ‘Forms’. These are an electronic equivalent of a traditional paper form. These can be designed to your requirements, based upon your workflow and data.
