Adest Receivables (A/R) combines the Adest CORE technology with the Adest COOL, Adest Auto-Capture and Adest Business Processing modules to provide a centrally managed, fully automated document capture and process management application for any accounts department handling sales documentation.

The A/R product eliminates the manual tasks of indexing, matching, retrieving, filing, re-filing and distribution of all sales documentation from query and quotation to delivery and payment.

Where documents are produced electronically, e.g. by in-house financial applications, Adest Auto-Capture will automatically index these documents, e.g. Sales Invoices, under predefined parameters. Hardcopy documents such as signed Proof of Delivery documents can be also scanned and automatically indexed using Adest Barcode or Adest (zonal) OCR capture modules and electronically matched to sales invoices.

All authorised users are given immediate access to documents for reference, query or audit purposes. This means that all the documents are instantly available to anyone regardless of physical location.

Documentation not central to the A/R function can also be held in the document repository or archive, e.g., customer contracts, correspondence, terms and conditions for payment, etc. This information is critical to maintaining and improving customer relationship management, i.e. giving the right people a wider view of all interaction and correspondence with customers.

Key components of the Adest Receivables module are:

Adest Barcode / OCR

Automated indexing of hardcopy documents from reading barcodes or unique reference code via Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Adest COOL / COLD

Automated volume capture and indexing of electronic output documentation, e.g. sales invoices, quotations, etc using Computer Output On-Line (COOL) or COLD (Computer Output to Laser Disk)

Adest Capture

Automates the capture thereby eliminating the requirement to manually index, match, file, retrieve, re-file and distribute accounts documentation
