Time & Money Saver
An ERP with integrated document management capabilities can help your team to save time (and money implicitly) by making sure there is a single repository for all the documents connected to a specific project. That also means less paper (including paper, toner, postage, printer costs, and so on). Turn your company paperless, and become more eco-friendly! You no longer have to waste the time to manually search for some data - everyone has access to it, and the document management system has numerous search options available (filters to choose from).
