Digitization at service providers & dealers for copiers

Specialist dealers for office technology, printing solutions and office systems benefit significantly from the use of suitable data management.

The trend as well as the economic situation and the competitive situation are increasingly moving towards digitizing documents instead of keeping them exclusively in paper form.

This is how most specialist dealers for office technology and printing solutions generate important documents on a daily basis:

Writings, contracts, delivery notes, drafts, supplier invoices and much more. These not only arrive by post, many letters also arrive by e-mail.

But by no means every supplier invoice or every delivery note is available as a file from the outset. Accordingly, reliable, high-quality and powerful scanners and the use of the appropriate document management solution are crucial for successful digitization.

It is very important that important deadlines are met and legal measures are taken to store documents. PaperOffice DMS gives you a clear structure in your documents and helps you to cope with the flood of information.

The industry for office technology and office systems is the one that benefits from the document management system PaperOffice in the form of a solution for the area of ​​digitization but also as a partner.

Because what medium is better than a multifunction device to transform your paper documents from analog to digital?

With a common DMS, for example, scanned mail can be filed, important e-mails can be saved and documents can be archived. In addition, different users can access and work on these documents.

Paperless work through digital processes

How to go paperless?

PaperOffice eliminates all time-consuming bottlenecks, leads to cost savings, such as the elimination of paper documents, and creates a clear overview of important documents, such as receipts, contracts, delivery notes or other letters, by managing them digitally in PaperOffice in the future .

Capturing, processing, sharing, searching and tracking your documents becomes very easy with the use of PaperOffice.

With the PaperOffice DMS software solution, no more documents are lost. And no matter where you are, you can access important documents in seconds.

Of course, you always work with our systems in compliance with the law and completely audit-proof.

Receipts, accounts and similar documents no longer have to be sent by post between church districts and parishes. Internal mail can also be sent digitally in this way. This saves paper, costs for additional data storage and trips to archives. Documents can be provided with keywords (editor, topic, status, date, etc.) and then be found more easily.

Process-oriented document management

The process-oriented document management ensures that these documents remain up to date with little effort. PaperOffice supports you here with an extensive task and workflow module.

In this way, certain process chains can be created and existing operational processes can be defined on electronic documents and partially executed automatically.

This represents error-free process optimization, because the task can not only be assigned to employees with specific user rights and completion periods, require digital approval, but also automatically trigger further actions, such as email notifications or document status changes.

In this way, all document processes can be mapped.

Because no matter in what form the documents arrive at the company, whether as paper documents, PDF files, e-mails or photos, they are automatically archived and stored in a secure database.

Important contracts can thus be recognized and terminated in good time or renegotiated. Document release with digital signature and e-mail notification instead of slow paper mail, insecure e-mail contributes to customer loyalty.

Large amounts of business information can be digitally captured, securely stored and shared

Today, in the 21st century, there are hardly any copying machines left. The copier has become a multifunctional device in companies, administrations and private households. In addition to the copier function, the devices are able to print and fax, to convert digital content directly into analogue form via the interface to the PC and also vice versa by scanning.

It is precisely in this function that copiers will have the greatest potential for use now, but increasingly so in the near future. The scanning and conversion of analogue to digital information.

According to a survey of 3,500 companies by the DIHK from 2020, their degree of digitization is on average around 50%. All companies are aware of the advantages that digitization brings with it. The companies see the biggest problems in the following areas:

• Complexity of the systems and processes offered
• High cost
• Security Risks
• Lack of time
• Extensive training

Practically all companies have at least the basic hardware, a copier or multifunction device with scanner and one or more PCs. What is still needed is the right software and it can be found in PaperOffice DMS.

With PaperOffice DMS, the menu navigation is intuitive and easy to learn. Help menus guide you through each application and at the same time video tutorials are available that explain certain processes step by step. Off-site training for employees is not necessary, but training can be held directly in the company if desired.

With digital stamps, documents can be supplemented with additional information and even control detailed workflows.

Service providers and retailers of multifunction systems benefit from digital document management

38% of all companies surveyed simply don't have the time to digitize their processes. We recommend a procedure that starts with the basic process, the scanning of analogue documents at the same time as they are processed. In this way, the group of people who work with the copier every day could also be instructed, as far as possible, to scan the archive bit by bit.

Thanks to the automatic recognition of documents with consistent characteristics, PaperOffice DMS can always assign all scanned documents to the correct storage location in the digital memory. It makes sense to start scanning the archive with the most recent entries in order to further reduce the size of the analog archive as retention periods expire. In addition, we have many guides on how to achieve a paperless office thanks to the scanner.

PaperOffice DMS is the interface between analogue and digital. Using its scan function, the software can read analogue documents, plans and photos into the system via your scanner and digitize them, whereby texts are converted into fonts using OCR, which can be changed in Office programs. Time stamps and versioning ensure that the digital document corresponds to the analogue original.

Optimize your working time by up to 7.5% compared to paper-based work thanks to the use of PaperOffice DMS.

Save time finding, routing and sharing documents.

With digital stamps, documents can be supplemented with additional information and even control detailed workflows. In turn, the task and workflow function ensures that deadlines are met and completed.

So all you need is a copier and PaperOffice DMS to accelerate operational digitization or even get started. A path that is definitely worthwhile.
