Worldwide Fertilizer Producer Implements EDMS
Harrell’s Fertilizer Implements Electronic Document Management System supplied by Document Advantage Corporation.
Harrell’s Fertilizer, a worldwide producer and distributor of custom fertilizers for golf courses, sports turf, and the horticulture industries, announced the implementation of a cutting edge electronic document management system (EDMS). The EDMS will become an integral part of Harrell’s work processes streamlining operations, such as order entry, payables and receivables, resulting in improved service to their customers. Harrell’s who is accustomed to the use of technology in their own product success - contracted with Document Advantage Corporation (DocuVantage) of Winter Haven, Florida to install and implement the electronic document management system.
DocuVantage’s solution includes an integrated suite of products based on the Optix® Electronic Document Management software. A complete Optix® system includes Document Imaging, Workflow, WEB, Text Retrieval, Document Management and Control, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and COLD capabilities. The Optix® document capture and retrieval, indexing, and workflow will rapidly improve turn-around time, eliminating duplicate invoicing, and creating accountability for each team member that takes part in the accounting processes.
“Harrell’s goal is to be the easiest company to do business with. The implementation of the Optix® Document and Workflow management tools will greatly improve employee efficiencies throughout the company which will in turn allow them to better serve the customer. The ability to provide information more quickly coupled with the simplification of employee functions translates to happier employees, and faster, more accurate customer service,” said Harrell’s Director of Information Technology Alex Barcia.
Dave Wiggins, CTO of DocuVantage says their team thrives on working with forward thinking companies like Harrell's. “Harrell’s is able to experience the efficiency gains first hand with the technical team partnership they have formed during the implementation and the DocuVantage team is able to forge a working relationship within the clients IT department that will ensure a stable environment as the application grows.”
Initially, DocuVantage and Harrell’s programming teams have ensured solid integration between the document management system and Harrell’s Great Plains accounting software that will eliminate the confusion and over-communication between headquarters and satellite offices when dealing with the identification and correct posting, payments and historical information of Harrell’s Accounts Payables documents.
Additional improvements to Harrell’s processes are in the design stages, including streamlining the Accounts Receivable Department as well as implementing an extranet for their suppliers and customers. DocuVantage looks forward to assisting them as they continue to grow and is proud to be a part of their winning combination.
