Key Issues Faced in Document Management

Businesses across industries frequently face the following challenges when managing their documents:

Manual Data Entry: Employees spend hours manually entering data from invoices, receipts, and contracts, which increases the risk of human error and slows down workflows.
Disorganized Document Storage: Without a clear system, important documents are often scattered across different platforms, leading to delays in approvals and difficulty retrieving key files.
Approval Bottlenecks: Traditional document approval processes involve back-and-forth emails, causing unnecessary delays in processing and approvals.
Security and Compliance Risks: Disconnected document systems and weak security measures put sensitive documents at risk of being accessed by unauthorized personnel, leading to compliance breaches.
Limited Storage and Search Capabilities: As businesses grow, managing vast amounts of documents becomes increasingly difficult, especially when there’s no efficient way to organize or search for them.

These inefficiencies and risks can cause significant setbacks for businesses, leading to wasted resources and potential compliance failures.

Outdated Methods of Managing Business Documents

Traditionally, businesses have handled document management through a series of manual tasks, using different platforms for various processes such as uploading documents, extracting data, and approving invoices. While these methods may have worked in the past, they fall short in the following areas:

Time-Consuming Uploads: Documents need to be uploaded individually, taking up significant employee time and resources.
Manual Data Extraction: After uploading documents, teams manually extract key information such as invoice numbers, dates, and amounts, which not only wastes time but also increases the chance of errors.
Disorganized File Storage: Without a structured system in place, finding a particular document or keeping track of approvals can be time-consuming and cumbersome.
Separate Platforms for Different Tasks: Businesses often use different platforms for document storage, approval workflows, and accounting, which creates a fragmented system that hampers overall efficiency.
