Bulk Delivery Application Brief
Improved Order to Cash Cycle: Automation
Exceeds Expectations
Application Brief Summary:
Delivery of water treatment
chemicals requires a
multitude of business
processes and incorporates a
number of truck and
container types. Deliveries
can range from the drop off
of a 10 gallon tank, a 55
gallon drum, all the way up
to pumping of thousands of
gallons from the truck to a
tank. Distribution Companies
are consistently searching
out and developing new and
innovative technologies that
enable them to provide their
customers with the highest
quality products available
in the market, at a fair and
equitable market price,
while maintaining
outstanding service and
customer support.
One of
the top 5 manufacturers and
distributors of water
treatment chemicals was
looking to automate its
field deliveries with hand
held terminals and receipt
printers. The manual method
was cumbersome, prone to
data errors, which required
management time and
attention to identify and
fix, that ultimately
resulted in a billing cycle
of 7 to 10 days.
Primary Objectives
-
Reduce the current 7 to
10 day billing cycle
-
Streamline and automate
the current manual
reconciliation process
-
Improve quality of the
data captured in the
field
-
Eliminate redundant data
entry
-
Allow management to
focus on variance
exceptions versus all
transactions
-
Provide proof of
delivery via electronic
signature capture
Looking to improve their
delivery process, the
company met with Compsee
representatives who
conducted a needs analysis
study of their current
delivery practices. Upon
review, Compsee recommended
a solution that included
software that integrated
with their back office
system, along with rugged
mobile terminals with label
and receipt printers.
