The High Cost of Automation Friction

The High Cost of Automation Friction

Why building workflows from scratch hurts your business

Current Pain Points in Workflow Development:

  • Time Drain: Creating workflows from scratch requires extensive development hours
  • Technical Barriers: Deep platform knowledge needed to build effective solutions
  • Resource Intensive: Key personnel diverted from strategic initiatives
  • Inconsistent Quality: Risk of suboptimal design without established patterns
  • Extended Time-to-Value: Weeks or months before realizing automation benefits

These challenges create significant opportunity costs, as automation initiatives either stall or consume disproportionate resources relative to their benefits. Many promising automation projects never reach implementation due to these barriers.
