Digitization in the automotive industry and car trade

Digitization in the automotive industry and car trade

In the constantly changing environment of the automotive industry, a successful, effective and fast production and service process is the key to success. Important documents accumulate on a daily basis: vehicle papers, purchase contracts, leasing contracts, reports, customer files and much more. These do not only arrive by post, many documents also arrive by e-mail.

Therefore, companies from the automotive industry and car trade are those who benefit significantly from the use of suitable document management software.

Digitization in the automotive industry brings immense advantages

All of these documents and related information need to be digitized if they arrive on paper, require structured filing, task and workflow assignment, and be immediately available on demand.

Because the highly technical processes in the automotive industry require a perfect flow of information and structured execution. The necessary advantages can only be achieved thanks to digitization.

It is very important that important deadlines are met and legal measures are taken to store documents.

In this way, the digitization of vehicle, suppliers, customers and employee documents can bring massive advantages to every company in the automotive industry.

PaperOffice eliminates all time-consuming bottlenecks and creates a clear overview of important documents such as contracts, statements or letters by managing them digitally in PaperOffice in the future.

PaperOffice DMS gives you a clear structure in your documents and helps you to cope with the flood of information.

Perfect workflow solution in the automotive industry

Behind all the impressive figures from the major vehicle manufacturers is a very large administrative effort and well thought-out logistics that have to work hand in hand in order to be able to meet all the requirements relating to the vehicle. It can be pictured as a chain in which every link matters, whether it's a body parts stamping plant or a car salvage company that sells used parts. At every point in the chain, bottlenecks can have more or less severe effects on the entire automotive industry and trade. To prevent this from happening, software is required for higher-level management control.

A software that meets every requirement. A software that is a generalist in its great functionality, which forms the necessary specialists when they are needed.

That's PaperOffice DMS, a document management software that can do much more than manage documents.

Automation in the car trade creates a competitive advantage

There is no way around automation in the automotive industry

Thanks to the integrated AI, automatic rules are triggered. This AI automatically sorts the documents into folders such as "Invoice" and "Delivery notes", stores appropriate keywords and triggers the digital workflow stored for the respective document type.

PaperOffice meets the highest security standards such as authorization management or the granting of access authorizations. The user defines the individual work steps in exactly the same way as they are carried out in the company, for example the "recording", "checking", "release" and "booking" of invoices.

Responsibility can not only be assigned to individual people, but also to user groups such as "Accounting" or "Construction Management", so that a colleague can step in immediately if an employee is absent.

The OCR technology not only recognizes the document content, but also all tax-related data fields such as document number, date, net, tax and gross amount. The imported data is available for controlling evaluations, payment transactions and financial accounting. This saves tiresome entry work and reduces posting errors.

The data, including the archiving location, can be exported to your tax advisor with just one click.

Immediate access and perfect workflow solutions are the key to success

Digital transformation with PaperOffice DMS is revolutionizing the automotive industry

The right document management software solves the analogue-digital problem

The PaperOffice workflow function simplifies communication between administration and workshop.

Repair or service orders are sent to the workshop computer and, conversely, the workshop transmits the working time required for the activities or makes inquiries about spare parts, which in turn are automatically sent to the spare parts management in PaperOffice, which either signals that the spare part in question is in stock or a purchase is to be made.

Digitization with PaperOffice brings immense advantages

This is how PaperOffice can not only revolutionize the world of spare parts. Because in the area of ​​customer and supplier, order processing, information transfer and release, complaints and claims, the workflow solution and digital release is a must.

Of course, PaperOffice DMS allows the migration and integration of existing digital data from existing software solutions.

At the same time, PaperOffice DMS is the interface between analogue and digital. Using its scan function, the software can read analog documents, plans and photos into the system and digitize them using scanners, but also recordings from mobile phones, whereby texts are converted into writing using OCR and can be changed in Office programs.

Time stamps and versioning ensure that the digital document corresponds to the analogue original.

PaperOffice DMS is not only extensive in its functions, but also easy to learn, guided by video tutorials, but also by individual advice and training if desired. All this at a really good price-performance ratio.
