10 Business Tasks You Can Automate This Month
Automation is no longer optional. In 2025, businesses must automate to save time, reduce costs, and scale efficiently. From marketing to finance, almost every department can benefit from automation.
In this article, we cover ten business tasks you can automate within the next 30 days. These automations use modern AI and cloud-based tools that are already proven in U.S. businesses. You will also see how Anchor Points helps companies implement automation that is secure, scalable, and practical.
Why Automation Matters in 2025
Automation delivers real business results. According to McKinsey, automation can reduce operational costs by up to 30 percent and increase productivity by 20 percent. Yet many mid-sized businesses still automate less than half of their repeatable work.
Automation is now easier than ever. No-code tools, AI platforms, and ready-made integrations allow teams to automate without large development budgets.
By automating routine tasks, businesses can:
- Save hundreds of hours each month
- Reduce human errors
- Respond to customers faster
- Improve employee satisfaction
- Scale without adding headcount
