Why is Automatic Data Capture Critical For Businesses’ Success?

Book your Free Online Demo of PaperLess Document Management for SageBusinesses have been relying heavily on paper document management, whether it is for invoices, archiving, contracts, or account management. Many companies are still using the conventional methodology Scan to Archive, which means they only digitise paper documents for archiving purpose. Unfortunately countless manual errors happen every day because of the old fashion way of processing workflow in an organisation.

It’s a hectic Monday morning. As usual, John receives many purchase invoices and business agreements both by email and by post. He has to go through them and sort them out quickly in order to pass on to the accounting department so they can meet their deadlines… Now here he goes, forwarding emails to responsible colleagues, holding a stash of papers in his arms and running to accounting department for approval and posting. Done and dusted finally, John gets back to his desk relieved and starts reading some business agreements. But wait, it’s not over yet. David from accounting department rushes to his desk and asks for the missing invoices from last month. In the middle of reading a business contract, John has to stop, re-process his mind and go back to the stash of papers he just went through only to find out that the missing invoices were stuck to the back of a file because of coffee stains! One hour has already passed and John feels this must be one of those productive days at work. Sometimes it could be worse if he misreads the document or enters wrong data in the computer because then the rest of the work flow process will have to be re-done.

PaperLess Document Management for Sage

Extract your document data using automatic invoice recognition

Every business deals with invoices. How to handle these invoices on time and correctly is a critical issue. We often realise after several months that invoices from previous months were not issued and no one in the organisation really bothers to trace them back until the last minute! That is because entering large amount of data from the invoices into your computer can be so tedious that manual mistakes are unavoidable.

Automatic invoice recognition using the smart OCR technology (Optical Character Recognition) can extract all necessary data from your invoices into PaperLess, enabling you to also edit and adding accounting lines and then send them to other colleagues for approval within the PaperLess workspace.

For companies that receive many invoices from the same supplier on a regular basis, you can create a customised template for a particular supplier so next time you run automatic invoice recognition on the invoice from the same supplier you don’t need to edit accounting lines over and over again. The best part is yet to come. You can then post batched up invoices directly into your accounting application such as Sage because PaperLess integrates seamlessly with Sage 50 Accounts and Sage 200 Business Suite. The synchronisation happens in the background instantly.

As you can see, it is very beneficial for companies, no matter how big or small, to use these features that will improve their work flow efficiency. It saves you not only time and money but also lots of panadols! If you have been struggling with your current document management method, try a paperless solution by starting with the above two changes.
