Document Management Industry of the Week: Moving Industry
Posted by Stephanie Jones on Mon, Jul 26, 2010 @ 09:31 AM
Last week, eBridge Solutions signed our first moving company as a client. Which is surprising, because while many industries seem to be moving toward online transactions, moving and shipping companies seem to remain paper intensive.
The moving industry uses documents in almost every facet of its business. Whether it is writing orders, confirming orders, bill of lading, e-mail correspondence and delivery receipt, or generating invoices, all of these hard copy documents create a drain on corporate resources.
That's where eBridge comes in.
Like a virtual filing cabinet, eBridge Solutions' web-based document management software lets moving companies -- drivers and office personnel -- sort and store document images by numerous indexes, or classifications. Identify or group your documents with index values like Name, Address, Invoice Number, Ship Date and more. The indexes are completely customizable. And those documents can be retrieved using index values or keyword searches from any computer with an Internet connection.
Some moving companies also have storage facilities where they house records. In that case, adding document management as a service to YOUR clients can also be a revenue-generating idea. Offer to scan and store their documents online.
Thanks to KG Trucking of Mercer Island, Washington for being the first of many moving companies to sign up with eBridge Solutions!
