Operation teams, as you probably already know, face a multitude of challenges that can slow down their productivity and hinder their ability to complete tasks efficiently. Whether it’s repetitive manual tasks, disjointed communication, or a lack of visibility into their data and workflow, these challenges can make it difficult for teams to be quick and efficient about their goals. In this article, we'll try to examine those issues and see how Varolio can help you overcome them.

Manual Tasks

One of the biggest challenges that operation teams face is the need to complete repetitive manual tasks. Whether it’s data entry, report generation, or other routine processes, these tasks can consume valuable time and resources. As a result, teams may find it difficult to stay on top of their workload and complete tasks in a timely manner. With Varolio, teams can easily automate those manual tasks, freeing up time and allowing them to focus on more important tasks and future planning. For example, if you use Google Sheets to track your team’s projects, you can use Varolio to automatically send notifications to your team via Slack or email when a new project is added to the sheet. This ensures that everyone is aware of the latest updates, without having to constantly check the sheet for changes.

Moving data from other third-party software like CRM software or even social network can also become a simple task with Varolio. We are developing hundreds of integrations for a vast collection of tools, so that you'll be able to automate any task that requires you to alt-tab between windows and copy-paste information.

Communication Gaps

Another common challenge faced by operation teams is disjointed communication. With team members spread out across different locations, time zones, and having different responsibilities, it can be difficult to ensure that everyone is on the same page and has access to the latest information. This can lead to delays, misunderstandings, and decreased productivity. Varolio can be used by teams to improve their communication and collaboration, by connecting various tools and services. For example, if you use Slack or WhatsApp for communication, you can use Varolio to automatically post new updates to a designated channel. This way, everyone in the team is kept informed and up-to-date, even if they are not actively using Slack at the time.

Lack of Visibility

A lack of visibility into their workflow can also be a major challenge for operation teams. Without a clear understanding of what tasks need to be completed, teams may find it difficult to prioritize their workload and achieve their goals. With Varolio, teams can gain visibility into their workflow by connecting the databases and third party software to each other. For example, if you use Trello for project management, you can use Varolio to automatically add new tasks to a designated board whenever a new entry has been added to your MySQL database. This makes it easy for everyone to see what tasks need to be completed, without having to manually update the board.

The workflows are also presented in a visual way and could be easily edited and modified based on the team's changing requirements.
