Public Sector Solutions provided by ProcessFlows

Our tailored solutions have one common theme – Improving Business by Transforming Process.

Although these solutions are applied and used in different business areas most are based around capturing, managing processing and retrieving of unstructured documents and data that comes into the organisation from the public, partners and suppliers.

Described below are a sample of some of our solutions:

Mailroom ProcessFlows®

Improve how paper documents coming into your organisation are processed and delivered to the right person/department. Direct integration with line of business system. Speed up internal document distribution, enhance document security, improve efficiency, help to reduce CO2 when documents are transported from one building to another.

AP ProcessFlows®

Improve efficiency and reduce costs by streamlining your organisations Accounts Payable process. According to Gartner, up to 80% of business data, transactions and records are in an unstructured format – paper, fax, e-mail, office documents and nowhere is this more prominent than within the AP department. If your organisation wants to significantly reduce costs and improve efficiency, then the AP process is the place to start.

The AP process in most public sector organisations is still largely a manual process. As a result, AP departments often have many personnel whose sole responsibility is to process supplier invoices.

According to research carried out by the Hackett Group, manual AP processes are costing organisations on average £2 – £4 per invoice to process and reduce employee productivity by at least 50%*. Other research suggests that where invoices go missing or have a complex approval process the costs can be as high as £20 per invoice.

What is evident is that regardless of the processes you have in place for approval and systems you have in place for Accounting, if you are manually handling the data then there is a huge opportunity to improve efficiency and reduce costs by streamlining your AP process.

Allows complete control over the output format of your emergency message/document. The ‘input’ can be delivered by any combination of SMS Message, Fax, Recorded Voice Message or Letter. Ensures relevant people get the relevant message in the relevant format.

Safe Haven Fax Server

Ensure sensitive public/patient data is delivered electronically to a secure email address/network folder rather than a fax machine. Provides cost saving, enhanced document security, improved efficiency and reduces assets, whilst being environmentally friendly.

Unified Communications

Telephony is often not considered part of a Document/Process Management project but at ProcessFlows we understand that often significant information about a process or transaction comes into the organisation via the telephone. Capturing this information and triggering business processes can add significant value and effectiveness to your telephony infrastructure. We pride ourselves in providing a unique ‘switch independent’ solution that has certified integrations with all the leading telephony platforms.
