Solutions for Business Intelligence (SBi), a subsidiary of ERP.com, today announced that Matus had utilised its image capturing and filing solutions for its 'proof of delivery' (POD) notes with dramatic end results.
"Our loss rate on POD notes has dropped by 95%," commented Lorna Hutley, Financial Director of Matus. "This, therefore, has resulted in significant financial benefits arising from the reduction in the amount of paper that is handled as well as from the time savings that have occurred. In addition, we are also using the software and solutions from SBi for our credit notes and are in the process of evaluating its use for our staff information."
"We are obviously delighted at the tangible benefits that Matus have achieved through the exploitation of our software and services," added Tony Nutter, MD of SBi. "Many of our customers are experiencing similar results, although not necessarily as dramatic as those of Matus, thus creating more effective and efficient operations, particularly from an administration perspective."
