Fax From ERP

Enterprise Resource Planning Solutions

Villagefax.com currently offers the most comprehensive set of services to enhance order processing and order fulfillment for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) companies. We are the strategic document delivery solution for many ERP companies today and have demonstrated efficient cost saving process improvements in delivering documents to remote destinations. In spite of the electronic message media that is available today, much of the ERP document delivery function still requires fax. ERP software systems can easily send invoices, purchase orders, statements, and shipping authorization documents via fax to a multitude of customers and supply chain vendors including those who are not E-Business or Internet enabled.

Problem Scenario

A company required a more timely and more cost effective method of delivering invoices to customers. The solution needed to be able to interface with existing ERP software and be flexible enough to handle sharp increases in volume due to cyclical billing. Additionally, the process needed to be an acceptable document delivery method to their customers and their Accounts Payable people to minimize any resistance to this technology.

Solution

Villagefax.com was the only company that could provide the reliable and scalable solution that met the business critical requirements. Additionally, Villagefax.com's service was easily integrated with their ERP applications and required minimal effort to fax enable their site. The company was able to meet their objective of improved processes and reducing costs and (as an added benefit) they were able to take 6 days off of their Accounts Receivable cycle.
