Document Process Automation

Documents drive many complex workflows in the manufacturing and distribution environment. However, assembling the necessary documentation can itself be a complex process — especially when various customs paperwork and/or declarations sheets must be included based on the articles being shipped. For example, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and hazardous material (HAZMAT) documents are required by law when shipping certain products.

Pharmaceutical companies may be required to transmit certain documentation to regulators and customers before a shipment ever leaves the dock. Failure to comply with such regulations can result in serious fines or sanctions.

"What can LRS document automation software do?"

The LRS solution lets you combine, decollate, bundle, and customize the way your documents are presented to their final recipient. Some examples of this functionality include:

Applying documentation standards. A major logistics firm uses the solution to ensure proper terms and conditions are included with their shipping documentation while assembling a paper trail from purchase order to delivery note to ensure prompt payment

Ensuring regulatory compliance. A large wholesaler uses the solution to make sure that hazardous material documentation is always in compliance when shipping government-regulated products.
