All consumer goods supply chain stakeholders need information, and much of the information is stored on documents. Printing, stuffing, and mailing - especially overnight mailing- is very expensive. Additionally, traditional methods provide few adequate ways to track who has seen which document, and for how long. Transferring documents electronically, however, saves time and money, and CRC has developed a system to finally harness that power for greater supply chain efficiency.
Deliver Plan-o-grams & Important Documents to the Field!
Tremendous savings are available to the company that goes paperless. Imagine if all of the documents you currently send by mail were suddenly available via the web, and delivered directly to PDA and laptop users in a secure fashion.
You need more than the ability to simply email documents (e.g., display-building instructions and plan-o-grams) to reps blindly. VelociTRACKER™ tools keep track of which reps have viewed which documents, and for how long- and the documents are automatically presented to reps in the field when they need them.
