In more and more industries, factors such as quality, security, and tracebility are becomming key issues for both manufactors, distributors and retailers, and therefore the number of industries using product certificates is increasing:
- medical
- food
- steel
- areospace
- automotive
- etc.
to name but a few.
A certificate is a product's “birth certificate”, “medical certificate” and “merchandize specification” wrapped in one. With that in mind, it is vital that the certificate always follows the product and that it is available all the way through the product's life cycle.
Collecting, filing, updating, and distributing certificates manually is a huge task involving a lot of work, and potentially introducing a lot of errors. Choose a wrong certificate to copy, or simply put it back into the wrong place in the archive, and you are facing future costs.
With MultiArchive this is history.
MultiArchive will automatically capture certificates in PDF from e-mails and scan paper certificates into the electronic certificate archive.
Once in the archive the certificate is available from within your business application with a single key stroke, and whenever goods are shipped, a copy of relevant certificates are either included with the shipping documents, or send directly to the customer by fax or e-mail.
In case the end user misplaces the certificate, you may offer them to view and reprint the certificate from your website - a new service for free or at a price.
