No more stacks of paper and tedious searches! The digital mailroom is the modern way to organize and manage documents.
Discover the benefits and features that a digital mailroom offers to save time and resources.
What is a digital mailroom?
A digital mailroom is a digital platform in which all incoming documents such as letters, invoices, contracts and emails can be collected and managed.
Unlike a traditional mailroom, often consisting of paper documents that must be manually sorted and archived, a digital mailroom is more efficient and modern.
The benefits of a digital mailroom are manifold. First, it saves time and effort, as documents can be automatically categorized and archived without manual intervention.
Second, it reduces paper consumption and is therefore more environmentally friendly.
Third, it can improve collaboration within a company, as documents can be exchanged quickly and easily between users.
A digital mailroom also offers better security for documents, as they are digitally archived and therefore cannot be lost or stolen.
In addition, multiple people can access them simultaneously, which facilitates collaboration and document sharing.
The difference compared to a traditional mailroom
The difference between a traditional mailroom and a digital mailroom lies primarily in how documents are collected, sorted and archived.
While a traditional mailroom mainly consists of paper documents that must be manually sorted and archived, a digital mailroom is a digital platform in which all documents can be stored and managed electronically.
Overall, a digital mailroom provides a modern and efficient way to collect and manage documents.
It saves time, money and paper, improves collaboration and is more secure than a traditional mailroom.
Physical processes become digital
Physical mail processing presents multiple challenges for companies.
Information must be captured and forwarded to the right individual. Additionally, companies are receiving more and more digital mail alongside physical mail.
The responsibility for managing the mailbox can therefore be very time-consuming and demanding.
The process of a digital mailroom
The process of a digital mailroom involves several steps to ensure efficient and smooth operation.
Here are some important steps:
Incoming documents such as letters or invoices must first be digitized to be processed in the digital mailroom.
This can for instance be done by scanning or automatic email imports.
In the digital mailroom, documents are categorized and archived to allow quick retrieval later.
Documents can be automatically assigned to specific categories such as "Invoices", "Contracts", or "Correspondence".
The documents are stored in a secure digital archive that is easily accessible and ensures safe document storage.
Documents can be easily edited, moved, shared and deleted to enable efficient management and organization.
A digital mailroom can integrate different mail inputs such as emails, electronic invoices, or fax machines to collect and manage all incoming documents in one place.
A digital mailroom provides the ability to easily and securely share documents with others to facilitate collaboration. For instance, documents can effortlessly be archived and shared with other users.
By automating workflows, certain tasks can be performed automatically, such as creating notifications or executing specific actions.
Overall, a digital mailroom offers an efficient and modern way to manage documents.
The process of the digital mailroom is designed to automate and optimize document management to save time and resources.
