When you want to automate your printed document

While you can automate many of your document management requirements there’s still a need to print and post many documents such as invoices as some customers still prefer to receive paper.

While print and post is not the most efficient document management solution it can be automated by B2BE so you can send documents electronically to B2BE, like any other electronic document, and in fact it can be the same data stream. The printing and distribution process is then managed by B2BE so you don’t need to deal with paper. 

B2BE can also consolidate and optimise the mail to reduce costs. Of course, if you have a full document management solution trading partners receiving paper can be migrated over time to a more cost effective and more efficient approach. Why continue to print and post documents when B2BE can manage all your document routing and channels?

Print Management helping to solve

Time consuming

The physical time to prepare and distribute mailed documents can be very time consuming and cumbersome. Managing stock and inventory levels, managing equipment and it’s servicing and finally actually physically printing, folding and inserting articles into envelopes consumes a resources time.

Error prone

Like any manual process, or where some automation is used, the chance of errors are higher. This increases risk, you do not want to send an invoice for one customer to another, for example.

Costly

Managing a sophisticated mail room is expensive. To reduce costs investment needs to be made into folding and franking equipment. Similarly stockpiles of envelopes, letterhead and consumables also need to be maintained which adds overhead and fixed costs.

Labour intensive

Managing the equipment to manage the print and post process is labour intensive and fail over needs to be managed for employee absences. With smaller print and post requirements, where equipment isn’t worth investing in, the labour element is increased exponentially.

Tedium

The sheer fact that managing physical mail processes is tedious. Human resources can make mistakes when they’re not concentrating and this has many flow on effects. Resources are expensive and can be used in an organisation in many more productive ways.

Key features of B2BE's Print Management solution

Consolidation

B2BE’s Print Management solution enables consolidation of documents to the same recipient to reduce the number of articles they receive and help reduce print and post costs. Similarly consolidation can occur over the week, or longer, so mail processes can be optimised to increase consolidation.

Visibility

As with any B2BE Document Management solution you can see all the document sent via the Print Management solution and re-send documents if need be. This makes it easier for credit teams to see what is going on and monitor systems and processes when you send customer invoices, for example.

Clean mail

Address checks can be made on addresses as they pass through the system, or as an initial exercise to validate addresses to ensure the best rates can be applied. Automated notifications or rejections, if the address is unrecognisable can also be applied within the Print Management solution.

Consumable management

Let B2BE manage consumables so you don’t need to. Whether you use plain paper or pre-printed stationary B2BE can manage all the consumables and their replenishment so you don’t need to.

Why Print Management?

By removing paper document distribution from your organisation you can reduce costs exponentially simply by not having the need for equipment and resources.
