Paper Distribution Warehouse

The Company is one the largest distributor of paper products in South Africa. It has 2 divisions. Head Office is situated in City and Suburban Johannesburg and the Johannesburg distribution center is situated in John Street, Ophirton.

The problem
The Company required a Proof of Delivery solution that would, at the same time, allow speedy and efficient capture, indexing and error reporting of PODs and reporting of any outstanding PODs.
The solution
The Company purchased DocPOD in July 2001 for their Johannesburg distribution center. The system is hosted at their John Street distribution center with one scan point using an Avision 820 20 page per minute document scanner. They process 600-900 invoices daily. The Debtors controller is located at the same place and ensures on a daily basis that all outstanding PODs are followed up. Daily sales reports are created and sent to the server and then imported into our POD Server software. Scanning and indexing takes place at each of the distribution branches. Each evening a matching download takes place in which indexed PODs are matched with the outstanding list. All matched PODs are available immediately over the LAN. Debtors controllers can access any POD immediately and can fax, print or email copies to clients on demand. The system registers whenever a POD is emailed to a client and allows a diary to be built up on each POD for future reference. The Company is are very happy with the DocPOD system and have ordered and installed duplicate systems for their Cape Town and Durban distribution centres.
