Streamlining Driver Work Diary Data Entry: The Power of Automation

With the ever-increasing regulations surrounding driver work diaries, it's paramount for transport companies to have an efficient and accurate process for data entry. Yet, many businesses are still grappling with outdated, costly, and time-consuming methods.

Let's explore some of the current options:

1. Offshoring Data Entry: Many companies outsource their work diary sheet data entry to offshore services. While this can potentially reduce some workload, the process isn't as cost-effective as it might seem. The cost per sheet can quickly add up, with an average cost of $2 per sheet. In addition, quality control can be a challenge when working with offshore partners, leading to costly errors and inconsistencies. (If you are short staffed, Harvy offers a managed service).

2. Hiring a Temporary Worker: Temporary workers are often seen as a solution to overflow work, particularly during busy periods. However, hiring a temp for data entry is an expensive proposition, costing around $40 per hour. Not only that, but you're still dependent on manual data entry, which is prone to errors and can be painfully slow.

3. Hiring Additional Staff: While hiring additional permanent staff may provide you with more control over quality, it's an even larger cost commitment. Salaries, benefits, training, and the cost of providing office space can make this option a significant financial investment, again costing approximately $40 per hour.

However, there is a more efficient and cost-effective solution: Harvy. Harvy offers an innovative way to handle your work diary data entry, leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and automation.
