Data isn’t just a means to an end – it’s your organisation’s single source of truth. Data should always be the foundation for operational decisions, yet the widespread existence of data silos limits the progress of all business units. Many organisations today are in a similar position: business-critical data is scattered across sources, making it impossible to get a 360-degree view of business performance.
By unifying its data in one ERP system, Steel Warehouse was able to leverage Lasernet’s integrated generation and delivery capabilities, to simplify its invoicing workflow as well as creating user-friendly documentation that perfectly aligned with its customers’ needs. Additionally, Lasernet’s archive functionality meant that Steel Warehouse could also create a portal where customers could quickly and securely review their account and product information. Ultimately, Steel Warehouse didn’t just improve efficiency, it delivered a better customer experience.
There’s also the matter of your legacy data. Don’t let the valuable insights hidden within it remain untapped, as it can hold a wealth of knowledge that can fuel your AI initiatives. You’ve accumulated countless documents containing vast amounts of data, including invoices, orders, contracts, catalogues, reports and more.
However, much of this data may be unstructured and trapped in formats that are difficult to analyse, especially if it’s scattered across older systems. Many organisations rely on specialised legacy software to meet specific needs, but struggle to merge the data produced, with information from newer cloud platforms. This is one of Lasernet’s most powerful capabilities – pulling data from across multiple systems to allow you to produce 360-degree insights. Imagine the possibilities if you could free business-critical data from these disparate systems, giving AI algorithms the knowledge required to automate previously time-consuming processes, improve efficiency and reduce costs.
