Sage 100cloud Paperless Manufacturing Software
The topic of the paperless factory has been discussed for more than a decade, but it's become even more urgent than ever. Companies need every competitive advantage they can get, and sometimes that is measured in small numbers that can aggregate into big numbers very fast. For example, how many minutes do you lose on the shop floor every single day to a lost packet, or an order that went out with old information? Sage 100cloud paperless manufacturing software, you'll finally be able to tame the paper tiger causing havoc and costing dollars daily.
Get Paid Faster
In today's fast-paced, ever-evolving marketplace, every minute counts. And because of that, it no longer makes sense to communicate solely with your customers by mail. In some cases, discerning customers actually prefer and demand electronic invoices and online access to their orders and payment history.
With Sage 100cloud, you get automated, electronic forms delivery. These built in features enable you to speed up communications with your customers. The system will electronically transmit:
- Purchase Orders
- Sales Orders
- Sales Order Invoices,
- Job Cost Invoices
- and Customer RMAs
You avoid not only the cost of printing and need to print on letterhead, stuff envelopes, and pay postage costs to send invoices. Now, with Sage 100cloud for Manufacturing, you can instantly deliver demands for payment and other documents to multiple email addresses and fax numbers, rather than waiting days for it to reach their office, be processed, and get scheduled for payment. Your customers can pay their invoices instantly, which means you get cash flow moving faster.
The Hidden and Unexpected Costs of Paper
Let's pause here for a second and list just a few ways that your paper-driven manufacturing company may be paying unnecessary costs:
-
- Search Ability: There is no computer in the world capable of conducting a search of actual paper. Transferring your paper documents into electronic files enables you to conduct text searches and organize your online files in a way that will make it easy for you, and remote auditors, to find whatever it is you need and retrieve it quickly.
- Storage Space and Supplies: Once you factor in all the various retention requirements governing your operation, how much paper does that amount to in your building or off-site storage? How much does that in-house or offsite storage cost your company every month? Every year? How much do you spend in filing time and buying supplies to house all those records? The money your company saves by eliminating unnecessary physical storage costs goes right back to the bottom line.
- Managing the Paper: The paper it takes to get an order into and through the factory alone has its own cost. The overhead cost of the time it takes to traffic paper through the various areas of the shop floor, communicate with vendors, update an error or change, and then verify it's all been done, and then input it into your ERP can be staggering if you were to do the math. With automation like Sage 100cloud's, everyone everywhere is working from the same data which reduces costly errors and accelerates productivity.
