Document Optimization

The typical supply chain document process involves lots of paper, manually collated, at various checkpoints on the way to assembling packages for customers and drivers. The workflow of many companies reflects processes that have been in place for many years. They include a string of stops and starts as essential documents are printed and handled at multiple locations. People physically burst, collate, staple, and hand off the various document components necessary for picking, packing, routing, and shipping material as well as for controlling inventory and accounting for delivery. Because of the many steps, a level of error and process friction is accepted as the inevitable norm.

OpenText StreamServe Document Optimization eliminates the manual steps that cost money, cause delays, and introduce errors that diminish customer satisfaction and incur additional cost to correct. With StreamServe, processes are streamlined and automated. Each document subset is released as tasks are completed, and the state of the order is accurately reflected. When the load is complete, Document Optimization sorts the customer sets by route, stop, and customer, and prints the entire driver-ready pack.
