New software saves time for electricians

A new application is saving time for electricians when it comes to data entry and other manual administrative tasks, according to an innovative Australian software company.

The new application, AUTOflow, launched by 3stack Software, has been designed to eliminate costly data entry time for businesses. The company says electrical contractors like Brisbane-based Cartella Electrical have reported time savings of over 30 hours per month through the use of the application.

“What we have done is to change the game completely by automating the extraction of data from emails and PDFs straight into programs such as simPRO,” said 3stack Chief Executive Nolan LeSueur.

“Electricians and their staff can configure their own job creation rules and let AUTOflow automatically create jobs for them straight from an email.”

LeSueur said that work orders can be easily produced from emails without pressing a key.

“Anyone can use AUTOflow, and with our lightning fast search and smart autocomplete technology, creating manual jobs is faster and more efficient,” said LeSueur.

“In addition to the time savings, no more costly mistakes are made due to incorrect data entry through going down the ‘copy and paste’ routine.

“You can even send attachments to jobs by simply forwarding an email with the job number in the subject, and then let AUTOflow weave its magic.”

AUTOflow currently integrates with simPRO Enterprise, simPRO Service and LaserPRO.

The application is currently free to trial at: autoflow.io.
