freeing up
Clearing for use
Freeing up means making something available by releasing it from current use or constraints.
You free up time by canceling appointments, free up space by deleting files, free up funds by cutting expenses.
The phrase emphasizes that resources were previously tied down: Automating the process freed up two employees for other work.
