Esker said that organisations in the pharmaceutical and medical equipment industry receive thousands of sales orders daily from pharmacies, clinics, hospitals and doctors who use fax or postal mail to send their purchase orders which must be entered and processed manually, with all the associated drawbacks.
Esker claimed that its solutions address this set of issues by automating the entire purchase order management process and reducing the error rate, which represents an important challenge for organisations specialised in health care activities.
Further, the solution automates the reception of purchase orders, routes them according to predefined criteria, captures data, checks their consistency, integrates them to information systems, archives the documents and provides traceability and reporting.
Emmanuel Olivier, COO of Esker, said: “Automating business document processes, and particularly purchase orders, helps companies reduce their costs.”
