eFileCabinet document management software for the Manufacturing Industry

Manufacturers work in a fast-paced and ever-changing industry, and are therefore always looking for that “Cash Cow.” eFileCabinet is that solution for processes that are complex. Organized data is crucial in staying ahead of the competition. Relying on revenue-draining paper, which is as hard to find as it is easy to lose, frequently causes problems for manufacturing companies. However, document management software can solve many of the greatest challenges these manufacturers face.

“We are breaking ground in our industry – and eFileCabinet makes it possible. We are excited to explore how far we can push the technology. As far as we see, the sky is the limit”

Document management software is automating document processes in the manufacturing industry

eFileCabinet is the quality assurance solution manufacturers need at the document level. Like new machines, materials, and processes, data management and networking technology are changing the world of manufacturing. Industries as diverse as aerospace and construction materials suppliers are harnessing the power of cloud-based document management software for procedural improvements. This new wave of cloud computing optimizes manufacturer-distributor-customer processes and relationships, streamlining data and improving communication across digital platforms. eFileCabinet is a new means of applying DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) models to the document level.

Manufacturers need profits and automation,
not paperwork

STREAMLINE WORKFLOW, GET BETTER SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

North Carolina Mutual Drug Wholesale is a full-line wholesale distributor that works with hundreds of independent pharmacies and thousands of vendors. The volume of data they handled once led to many misfiled and lost documents. After going through a pallet of paper a month, they decided they had enough. “We spent hours looking for stuff,” says Clint Syvinski, Corporate Controller. “Now, it’s simply one click and send. We don’t have to spend time looking for files anymore.” If that’s not a way to lessen the impact of Bill of Materials (BOM), nothing is.

Document management software, cloud storage,
and manufacturing industry growth

“Keeping track of our documents and keeping them accessible is vital to the company’s growth. We have no time to waste waiting for documents to move from office to office or looking for misplaced documents”

Increased productivity and profitability will come from three primary areas.

First, cloud-based solutions mean manufacturing companies do not need to rely on a full-time or dedicated in-house IT department to manage important data.

Second, they provide seamless communication and transmission between companies that might otherwise have conflicting data systems.

And third, cloud systems are easy to scale according to an individual company’s needs.

Workflow

Chances are you work with lots of repeated documents in repeated patterns. Automated workflow will save you lots of hands-on time, as documents are automatically routed from creation/collaboration, revising, and versioning, to evaluation and approval.

In a business sense, “workflow” can refer to any controlled and repeatable pattern of processes that a project passes through to reach completion. In document management, “workflow” refers to how documents move through an organization.

With eFileCabinet, you can design workflows that are as simple or complex as your firm requires. You can also establish multiple workflows, making it easy to map out automated file routing for the different types of documents you produce or receive on a regular basis.
