Electro-Matic Chooses Esker’s Cloud Solution to Automate Its Order Management Process

 

Sydney, Australia — August 15, 2016 — Electro-Matic Products, Inc.
(www.electro-matic.com), logo EMa leading supplier of high technology automation components and services, recently announced its agreement with Esker, a worldwide leader in document process automation solutions and pioneer in cloud computing, to automate its order management process. Esker’s cloud-based order processing automation solution will integrate with Electro-Matic’s existing Prophet 21 ERP system.

Processing around 3,400 orders monthly from a customer base of approximately 2,500, Electro-Matic had previously used a template-based auto-order solution (alongside its ERP system) to automate some aspects of the process. While the solution performed its intended function, it only had the capacity to automate order processing for 10 percent of Electro-Matic’s customers — that is, unless additional templates were purchased. Electro-Matic sought a less restrictive solution with more advanced functionality, as a result. Already an Esker VSI-FAX customer, the company was intrigued by Esker’s rules-based solution for its OCR technology and the ability to process orders of any format (e.g., PDF, fax, email, etc.).

Another advantage of choosing Esker was the solution’s scalability. Electro-Matic’s customer base was growing, and adding another employee for the sole purpose of manually processing orders was not an option the company wished to entertain. Carrie Cahill, manager of continuous improvement at Electro-Matic, explained the importance of this, saying: “With Esker, we can grow with the solution. The ability of our CSRs to more effectively manage output, be more hands on with customers and better maintain their own accounts provides us limitless opportunities for improving order management.”

One problem Electro-Matic hopes to eliminate with Esker is the potential for order entry errors, which can produce added costs in a manual order management process. With its intelligent data capture capabilities, Esker’s order processing automation solution will eliminate costs associated with returns, restocking and reshipping products caused by errors.

Electro-Matic plans to move the twenty customers whose orders they’ve already automated over to Esker first, and then gradually transition the rest. Eventually Esker’s solution will be implemented at all three of Electro-Matic’s subsidiaries. Moving forward with its automation initiative, Electro-Matic has also signed a contract with TermSync, an Esker company, to automate its accounts receivable process.
