When it comes to workflow automation, small and mid-size businesses are only at the cusp of fully embracing and subsequently benefiting from workflow automation. According to a recent third-party poll commissioned by Xerox, only seventy-two percent of SMBs have fully engaged this approach to enable them to perform their line of business more quickly, efficiently and painlessly. Partners can address the workflow automation vacuum by highlighting key pain points and simple steps to solve them.
Importing hard copy scans of purchase orders, invoices and receipts into applications like Microsoft Office 365, QuickBooks, SalesForce, SAP, Concur and others could be particularly challenging. The steps of scanning, storing, filing and retrieving are time consuming and error prone. Some solutions currently in use are cloud enabled but require customers to exclusively use a particular manufacturer’s scanner or app – a costly endeavor. Xerox Web Capture bypasses all of this red tape by providing customers with a solution that seamlessly integrates paper and digital based information into their work processes fast and error-free, without hardware expenses.
Helping Partners Drive Automation
Recently unveiled by Xerox, Xerox® Web Capture Services solves the pain point of scanning involving multiple steps, just to capture documents electronically. It’s the first in the marketplace to integrate with web based applications, capturing the documents directly into the business app, not files or folders. Since existing scanning devices of ANY brand can be used without additional investments in hardware, customers will quickly realize its ease of use.
Document solution providers can convey the benefits of Web Capture Services and ease of scanning documents in just one or two steps to customers. Whether its business invoices residing in Office 365, monthly spreadsheets or receipts connected to Quickbooks, Web Capture Services is a solution in the document workflow marketplace that eases major document capture and integration concerns. No special IT support is required.
Sales Approach for Customers in Vertical Markets
Document solution providers must first analyze and get to the core of what are the major pain points of their customers. More than likely, the crux of their workflow issues stems from the vertical nature of their business, whether its legal workflow applications, invoicing, or banking. Web Capture Services addresses document and process workflow concerns in all industries, simply and painlessly – which resonates with customers across a range of sectors. Partner sales approaches have to align with the issues their customers are experiencing.
