Some examples:

  • Finance department? Yes.
  • Customer Service team? Yes.
  • Human Resources group? Yes.

What we hear in the marketplace is that small to mid-sized manufacturing and distribution companies throughout the USA and beyond were struggling to find a paperless solution. There were few good choices for document management and automation.

Either use a low-end system that ran out of capacity quickly and had little room for growth or devote large budgets to the high-end systems. In both cases, no one seemed to cater specifically to the manufacturer’s or distributor’s needs, nor to the mid-sized user. So, document management for most of these companies remained, literally, in the file cabinet.

How Do Manufacturers Create a Paperless Office? The Solution: An ERP-integrated document automation software for small- and mid-size companies that includes the “big league” functionality and scalability found in high-end systems, but keeps both price and complexity at a level better suited for these more modestly sized organizations. Built from the ground up to work with most business software, Dash’s software integrates seamlessly with almost any ERP system, as well as other business systems used by this audience. At the same time eliminates the risk of loss or damage to the information contained in those documents. As a green-minded solution, it also positively impacts sustainability efforts.
