The challenge

Transportation and logistics companies are among the organizations primarily affected by the requirements posed by globalization

Rapid access to customer data, globally distributed information structures, and process automation in order to increase efficiency are among the things which need to be taken into consideration.

If you want to successfully meet these and other basic challenges posed by the service sector, you should choose the centrally managed IT solution provided by SAPERION.

Global companies rely on SAPERION

SAPERION provides your company with a consistent and intuitive system platform for the central storage and long-term archiving of all corporate information in a high-capacity solution that is able to process more than 30,000 pages per minute.

The entire product suite is designed to support your workflow in useful ways. Existing applications (e.g. SAP, MOSS, MS Office) are supplemented with important functionalities. Standard interfaces to all important systems ensures the highest integration capability and makes SAPERION the perfect upgrade for your IT environment.

SAPERION supports your compliance

Compliance requirements, such as those relevant for contracts, are automatically supported. This is accomplished by the revision-proof archiving of all documents, by the protection of crucial data against unauthorized access – and, of course, by protecting against data loss.

Processes and Knowledge Management

Your Benefits

SAPERION helps with maintaining important competitive advantages because it allows for the near-term processing of all information and their resulting processes.

How does it work?

The entire solution suite is responsible for the digitization and support of all document-based processes. Document forwarding to the addressee becomes a part of a corporate process. The kind of incoming document determines which corporate process will be initiated. 

Compliance

Your benefits

SAPERION is the perfect basis for compliance with all legal regulations.

How does it work?

Legal compliance is accomplished by sealing original documents and their connection to digital signatures, comments and time stamps. Audit-compliance is ensured by only reproducing unchangeable documents.

Smart, efficient contract management

Your benefits

SAPERION optimizes your contract management and control and protects you against undesired or automatically generated contract obligations.

How does it work?

The automatically controlled process of information forwarding ensures optimization of those processes that need to be handled manually (editing, verifying, releasing etc.). Compliance requirements are met without any additional efforts.

Collaboration

Your Benefits

SAPERION allows for successful project management, even across departmental, company and national borders.

How does it work?

You can access the consistent, company-wide and clearly arranged data platform from a central place. Even the complex team processes of product development can be realized. Documents can be accessed and edited even by those departments that do not use the specific application in which the document was created. (CAD, SAP, etc.).
