AI in Operations: Streamlining Workflows & Reducing Costs - BOA EP022
Most small businesses don't struggle because of a lack of customers — they struggle because of operations overload. From invoicing and scheduling to reminders and reporting, day-to-day tasks eat up valuable time.
In this episode of the AI in Small Business mini-series, Ramesh Dewangan explores how AI can simplify workflows, cut costs, and free up hours every week. You'll learn about practical tools for back-office efficiency, smarter analytics, and how a dentist's office reduced no-shows and saved staff time with simple AI solutions.
