How to automate time-consuming and repetitive reports

With the aid of technology, complex reports can be done within minutes, with just one click

Do you occasionally need to extract data from various sources to put together a long and complex report? Once a time-consuming and error-prone "copy and paste" manual process, this task can now be replaced by an automated spreadsheet that will perform this action in a few minutes.

That is right! With just one click it is possible to cross-reference different files and create a text report with information sorted in a much clearer and user-friendlier way for those who need to conduct data analysis.

This can be very useful to improve management processes when exchanging information between company departments, from branch to head office, or whenever it is necessary to submit supportive documents for business decision-making, among many other situations.

How to prepare reports faster?

With the help of technology, you can develop an automated spreadsheet, an Excel and VBA solution that optimizes the preparation of reports in the format you need. Its source may be a database, network-saved files, data from the spreadsheet itself, information from websites, etc.

Through its Laboratory for Innovation and Technology Development - Labtech, DPC has been helping companies implement different types of automation.

In a recent project to combine multiple Excel reports into a single Word document, the Labtech team developed a spreadsheet to speed up the process. This reduced an 8-hour manual task to an automated task that took only 1 hour.

If smart working is coupled with technology, the end results are faster, more efficient, and error-free. In this way, human time can be geared toward the analysis of information and not simply toward carrying out manual tasks.
