85% of companies are not operationally efficient due to manual processes and legacy systems - Gitnux

Operation teams often struggle with operational observability due to a lack of technical expertise to understand and interpret the vast amount of data generated. This lack of visibility leads to delays in identifying and resolving issues, which ultimately impact business operations and customer experience.

We all know achieving a high level of operational efficiency is crucial for businesses, and this can only be achieved by reducing inefficiencies.  How to reduce these inefficiencies? Traditionally teams rely on reports and dashboards to monitor and detect issues. This is a very “reactive” way of dealing with issues which is labor intensive, prone to issues getting missed, and gets you to the last-minute firefighting.

To fix the recurring issues, businesses need to include real-time ops observability systems in their process such as real-time alerts & notifications. According to a recent study, Businesses can cut operational costs by more than 26% with intelligent automation. By implementing real-time issue notification systems, teams can quickly identify and respond to issues as they arise, minimizing the impact on business operations and customer satisfaction. Locale.ai has been built having the same thought in consideration. In this blog, we will delve deeper into how Locale uses Locale.
