New DocStar automation tool optimises order to fulfilment process

Epicor Software Corporation, a global provider of industry-specific enterprise software, has announced DocStar ECM Sales Order Automation is now available.

Ensuring that the sales order information is accurately entered into backend systems has traditionally been time-consuming, labour intensive, and prone to error.

Moreover, industry benchmarks show manual sales-order entry costs organisations $24 to $41 per order to process.

DocStar ECM Sales Order Automation aims to help organisations reduce the high cost and complexity associated with manual sales-order entry by improving accuracy while streamlining fulfilment process orders and operational visibility to significantly improve customer satisfaction.

DocStar ECM Sales Order Automation supposedly ensures accurate data is automatically captured and entered, supporting a consistent best-practice process with optimum transaction efficiency all the way through to order fulfilment.

DocStar accepts, reviews, and initiates customer orders quickly—verifying purchase orders, quotes, and parts availability for improved organisational responsiveness.

"As the speed of business increases, sales-order entry—the gateway to the fulfilment process—can become a bottleneck that prevents businesses from growing," said DocStar GM Tom Franceski.

"With DocStar ECM Sales Order Automation, organisations can do more with fewer resources, gaining better visibility via real-time access into key data, while improving productivity and reducing costs.  DocStar ECM Sales Order Automation extends the value of the DocStar platform across the enterprise.
