Smart credit unions have always been focused on improving operations to deliver more value to members. In today’s tech-driven age, one of the easiest ways to do that is by investing in digital solutions that enable credit unions to move faster and operate more efficiently.
On one end of the spectrum, such investments might include member-facing tablets, bespoke mobile apps, or eSignature solutions that allow members to sign legal documents electronically. On the other end, investments might include employee-facing solutions that are designed specifically to support back-office credit union processes.
One such example of this is Laserfiche, an electronic content management, business process automation, and analytics solution designed for financial services firms, governments, healthcare companies, and other similar organizations.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the more common questions credit unions have about Laserfiche.

Why should my credit union use Laserfiche?
Although every credit union is different, those that still rely on outdated tools and systems face the same challenges. Here are some of the main reasons why credit unions ultimately decide to invest in Laserfiche as they accelerate their digital transformation initiatives:
They’re relying on slow, paper-based processes.
Having your team fill out mountains of paperwork every day isn’t the most efficient use of time. At the highest level, Laserfiche helps credit unions modernize and streamline their business processes, accelerating output along the way.
Manual tasks are prone to error.
Besides the fact that most folks aren’t thrilled when their jobs involve doing the same thing over and over again, when tasks have to be manually updated, they can be prone to errors or left with missing information. If this becomes a continuous issue, it’s a telltale sign that it may be time to invest in a digital system.
The team struggles to quickly find data and information.
In the age of Google searches, everyone knows how easy it is to find information through digital means. Unfortunately, credit unions that use paper-based processes spend a lot of time hunting things down. This presents the perfect opportunity to move to a digital system that increases data accessibility.
Although the above list isn’t exhaustive, if these pain points sound familiar, it may be time to invest in a solution like Laserfiche.

When you invest in Laserfiche, your employees’ jobs become much easier. Instead of dealing with tons of paperwork, they can take care of tasks electronically. This allows them to work faster, get more done, and reduce overall clutter.

What are the benefits of Laserfiche for credit union members?

In addition to dealing with friendlier employees, members can also get the information they’re looking for faster and complete their banking tasks in less time. You’re also giving members the convenient option to not come in, providing better, higher-touch opportunities for credit unions to make a real impact.
