Building on Document Management Success to Automate Vehicle Payouts
In 1999, ALD Automotive UK implemented Documation’s Document Management solution to file and retrieve vehicle documents. Since 1999, more than 1,500,000 documents (comprising more than 80 different document types) have been processed through this solution.
The new requirement was to automate the vehicle payout process, dealing with 30,000+ packs of varying numbers of individual documents each year, with the solution to integrate with ALD’s Dealer Management System (DMS).
Dealers and brokers create quotations through the Dealer Services Interface. Once accepted and underwritten, contract schedules and hire agreements are prepared. Dealers then scan and upload the completed document packs and supporting paperwork through the interface, where they are automatically imported into Documation’s solution for processing.
