What if we said there was an easier way. A way to get the information you need when you need it. A way to get your teams working as one.
Kyocera is aware of the challenges today’s businesses face when it comes to managing information. Digital transformation is accelerating, but paper documents – contracts, invoices, credit notes, and delivery notes – are still an important part of everyday business.
The when, where, and how people work are changing, but so too are customer habits. This is the world we find ourselves in. Change and disruption. Those who stand still are being left behind. Those who continue to use the same tools in an era of unprecedented data volumes are becoming overwhelmed.
Regaining control over documents
The rapid shift towards hybrid working exposed the downsides of having one approach for digital information and another for physical information – it’s unsustainable. Inconsistencies create inefficiencies, and the domino effect of the slow availability of information is often felt by those who matter most: your customers.
Real estate agencies, insurance brokers, logistics operators, and notaries are just some examples of entities that must juggle physical and digital information. The same old documents circulate within organisations in different formats and employees experience the same old frustrations. Some are printed and manually stored in on-site archives, others are scanned and saved in network folders. What if a 2022 contract is accidentally saved in a 2021 folder? And what about when someone working remotely needs an invoice that is stored in the office filing cabinet?
According to a report from the marketing research firm Wakefield Research and data analysts Elastic, 58% of the 1,000 United States office professionals surveyed identified the quick search for files and documents as a “top-three problem.” Hybrid working could exacerbate this pain further. The need for businesses to adopt a standardised approach to documents and data has never been greater – a central repository capable of saving all business documents is no longer an option, it’s a business necessity.
“Centralising data management, particularly through the use of cloud technology, reduces waste and lowers costs considerably by improving communication and collaboration,” say Forbes. “Standardisation and a cohesive datasphere make it easier to capture, access, share and analyse data.”
It’s time to say goodbye to misplaced delivery notes and lost business. Kyocera happens to have the perfect digitisation solution.
