Günlük iş akışımız neredeyse tamamen otomatik hale geldi!
Dergimize gelen makale sayısı yüksek olduğu için süreçleri yönetmek oldukça zordu. Ancak bu sistemi kullanmaya başladığımızdan beri kayıt, dosya kontrolü, yazışmalar ve hatırlatmalar otomatik ilerliyor. Hem zamandan tasarruf ediyoruz hem de hata payımız sıfıra düştü
