Data lag is the delay between an event happening and the information about that event being available for analysis. In operations, it can reduce visibility and slow decision-making. When data takes too long to appear, managers react to problems after they have already caused disruption.
Data lag often occurs when information is collected on paper and entered manually later. It can also happen when disconnected systems fail to sync data in real time. Reducing it helps organisations move from reactive decision-making to proactive control.
How this applies to WorkfloPlus
WorkfloPlus eliminates data lag by capturing information directly at the point of work. As each step is completed, data such as photos, notes, and timestamps are recorded instantly. Managers can view live progress across teams and sites.
Because WorkfloPlus synchronises data automatically, information is always current. This enables faster decisions, quicker responses, and improved operational efficiency.
