The Hidden Cost of Inefficiency: Leveraging Data to Uncover Operational Waste

Many businesses lose valuable time and resources due to invisible inefficiencies. Through disconnected systems, manual reporting, unclear project accountability. This talk explores how smart, purpose-built software tools can help identify and eliminate operational waste. Drawing on real-world applications from Zebra EM’s work in industrial sectors, we’ll show how solutions like digital time tracking, project oversight, and business operation tools can dramatically improve performance, reduce duplication, and boost profitability.
