Controlling the process of shipping, delivering, and receiving goods requires efficient and accurate tracking.  And, effectively capturing relevant data and documentation at each step is the key to good customer satisfaction and getting paid on time.  Typically, inefficiencies occur when barcodes, data, and signatures need to be manually extracted from paper documents making real-time access to information next to impossible.  Critical documents such as a “Bill of Lading” or “Manifest” are usually too difficult to process using recognition software technology since data elements reside in variable locations and they produce less than optimal image quality.  Further delays are encountered when remote sites or terminals use low-tech methods of transmitting scanned documents to the central system.  Today, however, through the introduction of next-generation technology, ProTechnology can help Logistics companies overcome many of these challenging paper processes including:

• Automated data extraction (BOLs, PODs, Manifests)
• Image enhancement
• Recognition of degraded/color barcodes
• Web-based scanning
• Image-enabled billing systems
• Image-enabled customer web portals
• Mobile signature capture
• Rendition billing
