The Future of Workflows: Automation as Collaboration

By ODW Media Room Productivity 2025

In 2022, a global logistics firm automated its shipment scheduling.
Instead of replacing employees, automation:

 Removed 65% repetitive tasks
 Increased decision-making speed
 Improved employee satisfaction

Not robots vs. humans.
Robots with humans.

Automation isn’t replacing people —
It’s removing what people hate doing.

Collaboration with technology
is the new workplace advantage.

Humans + Automation = Productivity Superpower

Your team stops being busy —
and starts being brilliant.
