Mincron Selects IntelliChief to Add Cost Saving Paperless Processing to MSS/HD ERP


Fully deployed Paperless Process Management (PPM) significantly reduces expenses for distributors by enabling faster order-to-shipment, delivery-to collection and purchase-to-pay cycles while improving response time to client requests.

Mincron Software Systems, a leading supplier of integrated software solutions and services to distribution companies, has selected IntelliChief as the sole provider of Electronic Document Management solutions to its MSS/HD ERP customers.

IntelliChief™ is the leading Document Management and Imaging solution for the IBM Power Systems platform and works in tandem with enterprise forms, fax , and laser checks generation. Integration between Mincron's ERP and IntelliChief has been completed and is available as part of the latest release of MSS/HD, enabling Mincron users to eliminate paper, filing cabinets, and costs associated with manual tasks that can now be automated via IntelliChief.

This partnership enables full integration of paperless processing and automated workflow functions (IntelliChief) to the latest release of the MSS/HD Hardgoods Distribution ERP software. "Now that we have finished working on the integration with IntelliChief, we can provide a one-vendor solution for our users' paperless needs. This provides more cost saving options to our customers, helps them with their green initiatives, and falls in line with our commitment to satisfy the needs of our clients," stated Paul Lightfoot, Mincron CEO.

Distributing Documents Electronically Meets the Needs of your Supply Chain
With IntelliChief, MSS/HD users now have the ability, directly from their ERP screens, to capture, retrieve, manage, and distribute mission-critical documents such as purchase orders, order acknowledgements, bills of lading, receivers, and invoices all in electronic format. "Mincron fully understands the benefits of taking time and cost out of the distribution model," says Gary Langton, IntelliChief Co-Founder and CEO, "and the significant savings their clients will realize when they add the power of IntelliChief's imaging and workflow engine to enable faster dissemination and control of core documents." Langton continues, "In a typical distribution model, a move to end-to-end paperless processing delivers savings with enough zeros behind it to turn the heads of executive sponsors."

With the new integration MSS/HD users can expect to gain significant cost savings and process improvements getting the following results:


• Availability of interrelated order history documents online without having to physically search for them in multiple locations
• Pull up one or all transactional documents to quickly respond to customer or vendor inquiries without having to place them on hold or play phone tag later.
• Improved control and visibility of documents being routed for approval and application of complex business rules for escalation procedures ensuring timely processing.
• Timely payments of invoices allowing to take advantage of vendor early payment terms and avoiding late fees.
• Faster order processing via electronic capture and distribution of incoming orders.
• Ability to easily and quickly comply with auditor requests and Sarbanes-Oxley mandates.
• Mincron MSS/HD users wishing to go paperless and take advantage of the new integration with IntelliChief can gain significant savings and improvement in their operations. The integration is available in release 12.0 of MSS/HD.
