File Stream Document Management working with the Logistics (Transport) Industry
The ability of Logistics companies to produce POD documents fast and efficiently for their customers is essential. No POD often means no payment.
Transport companies vary hugely in size: how they make use of a system like File Stream Document Management will be determined by the volume of documents to be filed. The general rule suggests the more documents, the more automated the process needs to be.
The quality of the PODs is also very important, especially if OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is to be used. Crumpled or marked documents will not OCR well.
Many companies are using Barcodes containing key information which is printed onto the POD when it is produced. Using the File Stream Document Management Barcode module, these can be automatically filed and the barcode information extracted (Customer, Delivery Note Number, etc.) and tagged against each document for future retrieval.
Other companies are already using PDA devices. The details can usually be downloaded in PDF format which again can be automatically filed in the document management system.
Our web version makes it very straightforward for your customers to be given a login to view their own PODs, or use our Web API tool to write a link from your own website.
File Stream Document management can solve your requirements in a variety of different ways. Please contact our document management specialists to discuss further.
Other documents associated with your clients, such as Price Lists, Purchase orders, contracts etc. can all be easily filed in the same document management system.
