Relying on manual input to bring data into a
business is time consuming and error prone. Manual
document handling, storage, copying and routing
admin, all create small inefficiencies that quickly
add up. This creates a gap between the people
within the business and critical information, which
can lead to decreased employee productivity and
customer service.
An effective supply chain needs routine processes,
but these can cause bottlenecks. It’s nearly impossible
for an enterprise to get a full picture of its operations if it
lacks real-time visibility of information. With control over
information, a manufacturer can respond to change on
either side of the supply chain and solve problems quickly
and effectively.
Take Cummins as an example. The global leader in the
design, manufacture and distribution of service engines and
related technologies, implemented managed print services
to manage, monitor and maintain its entire global fleet
of output devices, which support 40,000 employees and
operations in 190 countries
and territories.
Within the first-year,
Cummins saw monthly
expenses drop by 62 per
cent, pages cut by 36
million and achieved annual
savings of approximately $2 million.
Well implemented content management software,
combined with thorough processes, makes it possible to
streamline all the admin around invoices, procurement
documents, travel and expense receipts, inventory records,
shipping paperwork, contracts and more. This allows admin
staff to get more done in less time, using fewer resources,
and allows them to quickly find what they need for audit
and compliance requests.
By abandoning paper-intensive practices, the
manufacturing industry has a lot to gain, by improving
efficiencies, reducing costs and generating revenue.
