Shipping Dock Solution with OnBase Signature Pad
Onbase is the go to solution for automating Accounts Payable and other paper intensive business processes. The Onbase signature pad interface is less well known but can allow you to automate an area of your business you may not have considered before, the shipping department. A large food distributor recently partnered with All Star to create a loading dock solution using On Base's signature pad interface to streamline processing of the lading bills associated with their frequent shipments.

The shipping process hadn't changed in many years. A truck driver would arrive at the loading dock and give their carrier name and trailer number to the shipping clerk. The shipping clerk retrieves the bills of lading from the ERP system and prints three copies. In the world of LTL (less than truckload) freight this could mean up to 20 bills of lading for a single trailer. The driver would then have to sign each bill leaving a copy with the clerk to scan back in to the ERP system to mark as shipped.

The new solution takes advantage of the Onbase Signature Pad interface delivered through the Onbase Unity Client.  The client's ERP system exports the Bills of Lading to a network share in PDF format that Onbase can access. Once the PDF's are automatically indexed they enter the shipping workflow. The driver still arrives and gives his carrier and trailer number to the clerk but it is now a search inside of Onbase. The bills are displayed on a large touch screen display for the waiting driver as PDF files ready for signature:

The driver can then review and sign all of the PDFs for his/her trailer. All of the features of the OnBase client will be available, such as viewing, scrolling, zooming, etc. while viewing.  Once reviewed, the driver will sign the PDF document using their fingertip or stylus and then press accept.  This will save the signature directly into the PDF form inside of OnBase.  

Signature Pad Interface
Once all required documents have been signed the shipping workflow prints only the copies required for the driver. A copy of the signed documents are stored in the OnBase system for future retrieval if needed. The ERP system is updated to mark the bills as shipped.

Key Benefits
The new process is faster. It eliminates extra printing and scanning. Drivers like it because they are on the road more quickly and the distributor benefits by being able to move out more shipments. This system can be easily customized to meet your company's process. Contact your sales rep if you would like to discuss how All Star and Onbase can modernize your loading dock.

Integrate Content Management with ANY application

The OnBase enterprise content management (ECM) suite has integrated with more than 500 different line of business applications with no time or money spent on custom coding, making it one of the easiest and fastest ECM solutions with which to integrate.

The OnBase Application Enabler tool provides a seamless, easy-to-use integration with your business applications with literally just a few mouse-clicks. Instead of weeks or months, most customers complete integrations in a matter of hours. And because there is no custom coding needed, you can upgrade your other business applications without worrying how it will affect OnBase.

Don't let the simplicity fool you. Application Enabler is about more than just retrieving documents. OnBase can automatically fill out E-forms, index documents, launch workflows, print barcode cover-sheets, and dynamically compose documents (such as offer letters and policies) and more.
