Understanding how data entry works is fundamental for companies that want to improve their productivity, avoiding errors that risk slowing down the production process or undermining its reliability.
But what does data entry mean? Fundamentally it is a process of entering data into a computer, or into any other electronic device. The data can also be transferred to an Excel sheet, a database or a cloud, or from one digital file to another.
This operation has become even more important after the directive on dematerialisation that aims at the digitisation of data, intended to reduce paper as much as possible both for logistical and ecological reasons.
You might think it is a simple or secondary operation, but it is not so.
Have you ever wondered how much time your company loses in entering a large quantity of data?
What would happen, in addition, if wrong data were entered?
From this perspective data entry is a process that is anything but secondary, so it must be managed with attention and above all by professionals in the sector. We at We Are Fiber are here for this and we offer you an accurate and reliable data entry service, improving the productivity of your company and making you recover precious time.

How does data entry work?
Data entry operators, with the aid of highly innovative and sophisticated dedicated software, enter the data by digitising it in an IT system. It can be numerical data, texts, codes, invoices, and so on, and for each of them there is a specific program. Computer data entry can be divided into various activities depending on the work of the client company.
Data tagging, for example, makes it possible to add small pieces of information relating to a service or a product, so as to make the search faster.
Data capture is a process that captures and records the information to be elaborated and analysed further by another machine.
Data annotation helps to analyse and cross-reference a large quantity of different data such as audio, files, videos, and so on, in order to label them subsequently.
What is data transcription?
To better understand what data entry is it is worth analysing data transcription. In some cases companies need to transcribe audio and video files, transforming them into text, a long and tiring operation that is often outsourced.
Other times, instead, it is necessary to add subtitles or captions to videos to make them more comprehensible. This operation proves much requested by those companies that aim at internationalisation and that therefore need to make a video usable even outside national borders, with careful and consistent translations and subtitles.
Who are data entry services suitable for?
Broadly speaking all companies need a data entry service, also because it proves particularly multifunctional. With this service you can, for example, manage payslips, invoices, orders, transactions, general information, management of work shifts, and so on. For companies it becomes easier, for example, to view the sales data of a quarter, trying to better understand what worked and what, instead, did not give the hoped-for results. You can also send documents or data to a customer quickly, thus optimising the time available.
Above all e-commerce sites and online shops need data entry services and in fact they are among the businesses that most request them. E-commerce sites, especially national and international ones, every day store an enormous quantity of data among figures, invoices, orders, prices, transactions, and so on. Thanks to data entry services online shops can quickly order products, label them and classify them so as to also optimise warehouse management and reduce the risk of unsold or perished goods.
Many other businesses are approaching the world of data entry, such as software companies, transport and logistics, packaging, healthcare, finance, catering, and so on.
For each of these areas the management of data becomes fundamental in order to offer an impeccable service to one’s customers and optimise the company’s economic resources
Why is it important to outsource data entry services?
