It has been eight months since Wilson chose a document management system as a solution because it had integration with Epicor ERP.

Anticipating the need for a 40 percent increase in capacity as part of a $50 million expansion plan, leaders at Wilson needed cutting-edge and innovative solutions to support their growing company. Because they were already expending a significant amount of time processing paperwork, managers at Wilson wanted to integrate a new online document management system into their Epicor ERP system to ensure they could handle increased volumes.

Solution

After learning about doc-link™ at an Epicor ERP/ COGITA conference, Wilson chose this document management system as a solution because it had integration with Epicor ERP and was a great price for the value. As a result, they started using doc-link document management eight months ago and have already streamlined their supply invoice, remittance to buy and purchase order processes.

45 people can now simultaneously access the estimated 21,000 documents that are in their Epicor ERP system. The plan is to now expand doc-link document management into three additional departments, resulting in a more streamlined approach to document review and approval processes, and they will also gain additional cost savings through elimination of paper storage costs.

Benefits

Wilson Transformer Company has been especially impressed with the easy access to important files that doc-link document management enables.

“Being able to retrieve documents and review relevant information all on one screen is a tremendous resource — it enables the company to provide accurate and timely responses to suppliers, vendors and customers,” said Loh Siew, Financial Controller.

“From a finance perspective, because there are a lot of control and compliance issues that we have to look at—that’s where I think doc-link document management will shine for us in terms of documents retrieval,” said Siew.

In addition, by providing key personnel with the capacity to review and retrieve data instantaneously, Wilson Transformer Company is now able to eliminate the possibility of misplacing paperwork, which used to cost them to up to two weeks in valuable processing time. And with the Finance department working more efficiently, important accounting resources are now able to focus their attention on other areas of company growth and development.

Overall, Wilson Transformer Company says that using doc-link document management helps them retain their cutting edge in the many markets that they serve, while maximising their potential for continued success in technology, safety, systems, product quality, delivery and performance.
