  • No More Document Delivery Related Process Delays  - WebDelivery eliminates business process delays due to lost or undelivered documents and manual receipt confirmations. Postal mail, fax, and email document delivery impose unnecessary delays, are expensive, and don't offer the security and recipient confirmation/response capabilities required to confidently close the document delivery loop.

    Saves Time and Money - WebDelivery reduces costs by automating the delivery and follow-up of documents. Rather than your recipient waiting and depending on manual delivery of a fax, he or she receives an email at their desktop, from where they can simply click, login, and view the document. Rather than depending on a recipient to receive, view, and act on an emailed document attachment, WebDelivery prompts the recipient to confirm receipt. Productivity is improved because your employees do not spend their time and personnel value making transaction-related follow-up calls or chasing down lost documents.

    Make Sure Your Documents Are Received - WebDelivery not only provides secure access, confirmation, and recipient feedback, for your business-critical documents, it also provides rules-based alternative multi-channel delivery of those that go unviewed.  A document that is not viewed or confirmed in a specified period of time can be alternatively delivered by fax, email, or print, as well as alert notifications delivered to senders. 

    Replace or Augment Faxing  - Whether you manually send and receive faxes or use a fax server, WebDelivery provides significant savings and makes the document delivery facets of your business processes fast and easy to manage. Just because your faxed document was received by the destination fax machine does not mean it is in the hands of the intended recipient. WebDelivery monitors document retrieval activity and can send an email notification to the document sender upon success or failure (not viewed). 

    Web Enable Hardcopy Documents  - Using a scan-send device such as an HP Digital Sender, Xerox Document Centre, Lexmark, Minolta, or Toshiba, hardcopy documents can be submitted to WebDelivery for external and internal retrieval and management.

    Better Than Emailing Document Attachments - Attaching business documents to emails for delivery can have reliability, security and storage consequences.  Once the email leaves your enterprise you no longer have control of it and you can't confirm it was viewed by the intended recipient.  The size of email attachments and anti-spam software cause emails to be rejected by the receiving email servers. WebDelivery solves both of these issues by prompting for receipt confirmation and maintaining a single copy of a document for both sender and recipient to view.
