Both are effective​, yet​ one can be shared all throughout the shop and outside of the shop.

Q: Why is a digital workflow ​​board better than my dry erase board?

A: Both are effective​, yet​ one can be shared all throughout the shop and outside of the shop. ​Sure, you could constantly take pictures of your dry erase board ​as you update it ​and text ​it to all interested parties, but it just makes more sense to allow technology to streamline that process with a digital whiteboard.
