DocuVision’s unique integration inside Sage X3, Sage 300 ERP, Sage 300 People and other business applications, allows the users to drill down to Financial and HR documents directly from the transaction or employee screen they are already working on.
This means that users have immediate access to view associated documents and share them with colleagues or email to customers or suppliers, saving incredible amounts of time. Based on customer feedback, this integration greatly increases user acceptance and ease of training. Reports showing missing or expiring documents gives users and management the ability to manage risk. ERP or HR processes can be blocked if prescribed documents are missing or have expired.
Our selection of Document Management Modules makes using the system effective and easy. Our key goal at each customer is that “We don't just store documents – we add value to ERP & HR processes”. DocuVision modules can be used for other non-financial and HR documents as well.
