Features of MHC’s Document Management Software for Manufacturing
If you’re new to the world of document management for your manufacturing organization, MHC’s automation software offers a whole new experience through features that will transform your existing processes.
Workflow Process Automation
The step-by-step processes of your manufacturing business have amazing potential to be automated for efficiency and accuracy. Let MHC automation move things along at the right time and to the right teams.
Correspondence Management
Maintaining open communication lines with customers and suppliers is a must-do, which is why automation for your company’s correspondence is a must-have. Revolutionize your routine communications with our automation solutions.
Personalized Communications
Just like we all can hear our name spoken across a crowded room, seeing our name, department, and company on communications is a natural attention-grabber. Use automation to personalize your manufacturing communications for the right person every time.
Omnichannel Communications
Email. Text. Voice. Video. Print. Web. Count all the ways you’re able to communicate with customers and suppliers, and you can bet they all use a combination of at least two to three different channels. Automation can achieve synchronized and effective omnichannel communication for your manufacturing business.
Document Automation
Where is a document stored? Who is it going to? What information, from different sources, needs to be on it? When will it be received or sent? Document automation provides the “how” answer to all these questions to ensure your manufacturing documents are all accounted for all the time.
Document Template Management
Anyone in communications will tell you that consistency is key, and that includes the design and layout of your business documents. Automating your manufacturing documents includes template management, so every invoice, PO, and packing slip looks the way it should for your company.
Shipping and Receiving Documentation Software
There is always more than one document involved with shipping or receiving an item, and the beauty of automation is that every related scrap of information is brought together for context. Documentation software brings sense and security to your manufacturing S&R.
Large Scale Document Production
If you can picture yourself drowning in paperwork, it may be hard to imagine how document automation software won’t get submerged, too. High volumes of documentation, from packing slips to purchase orders, are no match for the power of automation as each document is captured, transformed, and distributed correctly
Self-Service Document Delivery
People are the most prized moving parts of your manufacturing business, so being able to offer them access to all of their own personnel documents is an oft-overlooked yet extremely beneficial aspect of automation. Use Document Self-Service to effectively serve your own staff so they can set their minds on the work at hand.
As shipments come and go in your business, the volume of documents you must receive and send out may fluctuate in volume but never cease to be a vital component to your company’s success. Manufacturing document management is a win-win approach to how your business captures incoming documents, translates and grabs the data you need from each one, and turns them into your style as they’re sent back out to customers and suppliers. Learn more about how MHC can help you manage your documents rather than letting them manage you.
