The retail industry

 

Responding to the prolonged pullback in consumer spending, Retailers today are focusing on the effective reduction of operating costs to maintain their bottom lines. They are turning to electronic document management (EDM) to improve efficiency and communications throughout retail organizations to cut costs and improve cash-flow management. By automating back-office documents and reports Retailers are not only saving substantially on operational, materials, and labor costs, but also improving supplier relationships as well as delivery accuracy and timeliness, thereby increasing customer satisfaction.

How EDM expedites retail industry processes and workflow

•  Automates forms-based business processes such as invoicing/payment management and supplier contracts; and captures, separates, indexes, bundles, and archives all documents and customized reports in PDF, HTML, CSV, Word, and other formats, distributing them electronically via e-mail, fax, FTP, or the web 

•  Maintains high-level of customer service by quickly managing incoming invoices, payments, and customer comment cards, and enables answering inquiries from multiple sites 

•  Coordinates and streamlines information sharing among all retail locations and the head office and is easily integrated with diverse systems 

•  Scans, indexes, and archives paper-based documents as well as spool-filed records, converting them to browser searchable PDFs 

•  Supports risk management, enhancing document security with finely tuned security rules. Digital information is readily accessible for audits, and is easily backed up for disaster recovery or automatically purged at the end of document life
